Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' Playset (1961) - Pt 8 Figures: Fred and Wilma

Let's start looking at the figures which came in the Marx playset. There were 16 figures in 12 poses. Only four have the Hanna-Barbera copyright marking under the base (but not the Marx hallmark): Fred, Wilma, Barney, & Betty. There are two or three figures which are a bit controversial in that they can interpreted as being different people. We'll talk more about those as they are posted. The figures are essentially 54mm and molded in a cream soft plastic. I had measured Fred - who came in at 54mm - but totally forgot to take a photo!

Fred Flintstone

According to Playset Magazine, Fred is 'running' with club in hand. Could be. Could be not. To me he looks like he's walking but cartoons are an animal unto themselves and he could be running after all.

Both Fred and Wilma have the Hanna-Barbera copyright marking, as well as their names, under the base

Wilma Flintstone

One of the more fun aspects of the Flintstones was the gadgets. Here Wilma is on her Stone Age phone more than likely talking to Betty. The phone not only shows up in several Flintstones toy figures but Empire made a full size version of it as well.
