Here's some photos of the Louis Marx & Co. Cavalry horses:

Some production runs of these horses in-the post-Marx era have been slightly to very thin, so we did everything possible to make them as 'fat' as possible through machine settings and materials. I haven't had a chance yet to compare with vintage Louis Marx & Co. production but I suspect they may still be thinner than originals, possibly due to mold refacing at some point over the past several decades. That said, the Paul Revere figure sits nicely on these horses even though he was designed for a different horse.  The 'babies' sets that started production early July are on-hold pending mold repairs. I'm told it's not serious but don't have an estimated date when it will be back online.

BMC Toys - Plastic Army Women Collection:
The Purple & Blue Plastic Army Women are running low.

Package art and sticker sheet projects are winding down so there should be progress catching up on all the product content this month.
