1975 Marx Johnny West Catalog


Like G.I. Joe, Johnny West was one of the few hold over action figure lines from the 1960's. This durable (hell, indestructable) cowboy figure line was looking a little strange on a shelf now populated by superheroes, aliens and talking apes but he managed to kick around for at least one more year.

The line was bulging with characters this year and the figures now had "Quick Draw Action" which was pretty neat. Someone still needs to explain how they got a jeep back in the old west?

The water guns are hilarious.. "Let's settle this with a spittin' contest, pardner.."

On the package they misspelled Sam's name.. it says "Sam Cober".
