1977 Marx Ready Gang Catalog

In 1977, Marx Toys launched the Ready Gang a beautiful line of 9" action figures from the old west with little to no back story (Seriously are these guys outlaws for good guys?) and it quickly floppedI'm sure the rest of this well made catalog will be a trip for many as it includes such Mattel staples as Barbie, Hot Wheels and Major Matt Mason.

It's a shame as the figures are not only attractive but well made, nowadays I get an email every once in a while from people convinced they've found a rare Lone Ranger action figure. It's almost always a Trooper Gibson figure.

Ready Gang provided one of the only black characters for a Western line in Trooper Gibson.

Three Horses and a playset is pretty freaking fantastic for a short lived action figure line.
