Marx Stock Number: 2060

Produced: 1965

Daniel Boone was another target by Marx aimed at television. The body was made with limited articulation like 1 st issue Stony's with no leg articulation, limited elbow movement and were 12” tall. Rumors are around stating Marx made a Davy Crocket figure with articulation, I have seen no proof of this. I also have heard of a figure called “The Hired Ranch Hand” which was similar with flocked hair? To my knowledge it is a prototype only. Boone's head was molded to resemble Fess Parker, and the body was molded in caramel tan poly-plastic. Boone figures also had the 1 st issue straight hands as opposed to the more curved ones. Accessories were molded in fudge brown soft vinyl and dark chocolate brown poly-plastic. Daniel Boone figures are found today in poor shape in many cases. Daniel had the non-riveted shoulders and caramel poly-plastic (which seems to weaken more verses other vintage figure colors), they are found shattered, cracked and chipped frequently. I guess what I am trying to say is keep this one away from kids they break very easy. Many I have found have shoulder repairs and or hairline cracks. Still a very neat Marx piece, and worthy of adding to your collection. The accessories make him worth it alone.
