Hi CW Gang ~
Sorry long time not by. Just been busy here, and with winter snow shoveling, if seemed like I kept hurting my bad shoulders here, and then hard to use a laptop with sore arms. Anyways here today ......
JIMMY West (Best of the West ) Marx Toys - 1965. I bought this before Covid and it was this figure with a whole bunch of attachments too for a good deal. Of course I knew what it was, since I have some other ones from my childhood days, but never had this one. I know FORT will come by and tell me more about it. Anything rare or different about it? THANKS in advance
Thanks for LOOKING // LOVING !!

** UPDATE FROM FORT: Jimmy West and he is a very sought after figure $$$$. His accessories are a bronze color and I see some there. Fantastic find. The head for that figure was originally Zeb Zachery a cavalry figure. Available ONLY IN CANADA

Found some more info here on JIMMY WEST: https://www.stewartsattic.com/marx/figures/north/nbjimmy.cfm
So by the color of hair, is this the first edition? Also looks to have 1965 on the back in Roman numerals. Also googled some more, and I found one here, and they say Rare too and demand some $$$ https://collectiblezoo.com/products/rare-jimmy-west-best-of-the-west-figure-canadian-version
I know Tom Stewart he is a leading expert. Told you it was $$$.
But then the date stamp is from when the Johnny West body was first cast. I think the chocolate brown color wasn't used until the 1970s.
How nice to see you again and what a great find ! I sent you a email so check for it ok xo
