Playsets

A Classic Lives Again!

This classic Marx playset has been impossible to find for years! It contains a huge selection of figures and accessories, with many small props which collectors fondly remember from their youths.

In 1959, many of us Baby Boomers grew up watching Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) and his intrepid band of “Untouchables.” These honest, unbribable FBI agents were sent to crack down on Al Capone, Frank Nitti and the rest of the Chicago mobsters who terrorized The Windy City. It was such a popular television series that in 1961 Marx created a famed (and fondly-remembered) playset based on it.

The original commands prices upwards of $2000 to acquire. But the Mexican company which holds the Marx molds released a fine reconstruction of the original in the early 1990s. They didn’t have access to the tin litho buildings and tinplate cars which came with the original, but they did have the full set of figures and their dazzling accessories. They increased the size and playability of their set by adding a set of plastic vehicles and a second set of Marx accessories to further enhance play.
