Great to see Gordon Murray's wonderful work get a mention on the blog!
So many of us have lasting memories of his productions.
Please find attached pics of a complete set of 1967 Marx Twistable Camberwick Green figures.
Originally they would've been sold individually, in clear plastic bags stapled with header cards.
The figures turn up on eBay, but are difficult to find in good condition.
Apart from the occasional broken wire, they're often missing accessories,
such as chimney brush, fishing rod, etc.
It's taken a couple of years of upgrading to piece together this particular set.
Rivals, Cowen de Groot also produced their own versions of these characters,
as well a six figure boxed set called 'Camberwick Green Village Folk'.
All the best
Tony K :)
They're brilliant!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous ! Warm memories of the tv shows but I don't recall the toys at all ?

Hi Fenton. I'm really pleased the figures brought back happy memories. Codeg produced smaller scale toy figures with buildings in boxed sets known as the 'Camberwick Green Village Set'. There were nice Camberwick Green toys out there back then, just not very many I'm afraid :)
DeleteThanks Kevin. I Know that the cut of the cloth lack a little quality by todays standards, but I think that adds to their vintage charm. Looking forward to seeing the results if you make some figures yourself :)
