(Softcover) The never before told biographical and industrial history of Louis Marx & Co. as told by the men who lived it, through the creation of the world's largest toy company. Louis Marx, world traveler and inventor struggles to build his company from renting toy factories to building them internationally with his brother Dave at the height of the 1920's as they seek the "red hot hit" --that toy which is so popular it sells in millionaire-making numbers climaxing with their greatest hits, the Marx Playset. It’s exciting text and rare images as Louis Marx, merry son of a poor immigrant tailor, claws his way to the top of a crowded toy world by inventing toy after toy and hiring -- through intuition and luck -- exactly the right men at precisely the right time to deliver what every toy firm needs, the “red hot hit.” Explore the formerly secret firm and hear from the men who lived the story, as Marx toys develop from primitive tin into the full-blown Marx playset of the Baby Boomer era. It is profusely illustrated and features the newly discovered, never before published scrapbooks of Louis Marx himself. MARX: TOY KINGS is intended as the complete epic, a defining work on the development of the Marx playset from the earliest days of Louis Marx & Company to its demise using factual accounts, testimonials and eye-witness interviews.This “inside-the-halls-of-Marx” story is the bountiful, definitive reference book on the Marx company and the beginning of playsets impeccably researched and written by Rusty Kern, publisher of Playset Magazine, America’s only source of information on vintage playsets and plastic figures. It is not a picture book on playsets, although playsets and toys are shown. Volume I covers 1919-1955; Volume II covers from about 1955-demise of the firm, and Volume III centers on playsets.Stay up to date by clicking your way to: www.PlaysetMagazine.com

(Softcover) MARX: TOY KINGS Volume 2 continues the epic story of "Toy King" (Time Magazine) Louis Marx and "The World's Largest Toy Company" -- the defining work on the development of Louis Marx & Company that puts you in the halls and research and development rooms using factual accounts and eye-witness interviews in an exciting story told by the people who were there. Now, with Louis named “Toy King” by Time Magazine, he faces his greatest challenge ever. Television advertising is putting competitors in the homes of children and Louis refuses to manipulate a child’s desires with TV ads. ... Meanwhile the firm is at its height and Louis’ designers Frank Rice and Al Bagg and Ed Hjelte are turning out the greatest playsets the world has ever known: The Giant Blue & Gray, Battleground, Wagon Train and many more, each complete with figures, accessories like forts and horses and equipment, a miniature world of their own in a single carton. These become so successful that Louis is opening factories in England, Hong Kong and Germany. Here is their story, a personal and industrial history told for the first time by the men and women who lived it and created the astonishing miniature worlds in a box. Interviews include Charles Marx, at the firm from the mid-1950’s until the end, Ed Furie, Marx’ personal assistant and a top salesman during the same period, Frank Rice and Al Bagg, playset designers of Battleground, Fort Apache, Iwo Jima, Guns of Navarone and many others.

This new reference and price guide presents an informative 'personal' history of the former Marx Toys Company plant at Glen Dale, West Virginia, where many of the fondly remembered Marx Playsets, doll houses, and toy figures of the 'baby boomer' era were created and manufactured. More than just a catalogue of these ever-popular and eminently affordable toys, this book provides Marx toy collectors with new insights into the planning and production processes employed by the original 'king' of American toy makers. Included are insightful interviews with Glen Dale plant model maker and with the son of a Marx artist, along with previously unpublished photos of a number of Marx toy and figure prototypes. With publication authorised by the current owner of the Marx Toys trademark, this book provides a unique and valuable behind-the-scenes look into the production of one of America's premier toy manufacturers.

"What audacity!" exclaimed actor Robert Wagner when he heard about the authors' adolescent exploits in nabbing interviews with Hollywood celebrities. In 1978, Fantle and Johnson, St. Paul teenagers, boarded a plane to meet with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. They had written the stars requesting interviews--and to their amazement, both agreed. Over the years, more than 250 other stars also agreed--Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Debbie Reynolds, George Burns, Rod Steiger, Milton Berle, Frank Capra and Hoagy Carmichael, to name a few. Published for the first time and with exclusive photos, this selection of 75 interviews chronicles the authors' 40-year quest for insights and anecdotes from iconic 20th century artists.
