This year has been about discovery - re-discovering treasures out in The Cave that is - and bringing them to the light of day here on the blog. Just yesterday I found a bunch of Marx 50mm USAF figures and accessories. In August I posted the complete set of 50mm USAF figures and at the time thought I had gathered them all in one place, until...
...I came across a box full of figures and accessories!

This inventory shot taken back in June shows all the USAF figures I thought I had
Here's what I ended up with after The Cave find!
From 27 pieces to 104!
The top row in the photo below shows original figures in various shades of metallic blue that Marx made.
The second and third rows reflect colors I wasn't aware of. Are they original Marx? Repops?
As far as I know Ed, the putty-coloured ones are re-issues, Brian/Terranova sent me some a few years ago, but I don't know on the bright blue . . . Mexican issue? What bases do they have, flat are early Marx, ridged are all subsequent!

That sounds about right for the putty ones Hugh. I'm thinking the blue ones were quite possibly New Marx (aka Modern Marx, Marx of Miami) of the '90s, as they liked to use that color for their Marx repops.
