The Many Faces of Johnny
The Many Faces of Johnny
Johnny lived during the entire run of Marx toys. It is possible that he has the highest number of different head molds. Johnny's head was used for other figures like Stony and Other non U.S. figures like Sheriff Goode and Cowboy Kid As this site is still a work in progress, I've avoided stating which version came when, but this listing is in what I believe was the order of production.- Click on images for a larger version
