Pair of Marx Plateosaurus Plastic Dinosaur Figures

Lot of 2 Plateosaurus Dinosaur Figures by Marx

Louis Marx & Co.Inc,  Made in USA. Circa 1960s. Solid plastic. Both figures are approx. 3 inches tall (70mm) Approx. 1/64 to 1/86 scale.

Marx began producing plastic dinosaur figures in 1955 as an addition to their growing play set line. They were issued in a number of different Prehistoric playsets, on cards and loose. The length of the tails is slightly different on the two similar but not exactly the same figures, meaning they are from different molds (they do wear out and have to be re-tooled). But the cross-hatching texture on the sides and the details of the heads and ankles say they are both Marx.  See photos. The shades of gray are also different.

 

 Both of these figures are marked “Plateosaurus” on the left side of the tail and “20’ Long” on the right side. Marx decided that they were around 20 feet long, making these about 1/64 scale but currently most scientists believe that their length was closer to 30 feet, making these around 1/86 in actual scale. Both have no breaks, cracks or chew marks.
