Funny thing is...I only found out about two years ago that Navarone was not a real WW2 battle - the playset was based off the movie Guns of Navarone only, starring Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn. I rewatched the movie last week. It wasn't that good. It was almost three hours long. They really dragged it out. Still - the playset is phenomenal.
Interestingly, while I was photographing the box, it doesn't show Marx as the manufacturer. This version comes from Mego. Need to find out what happened. It's a mystery. While I know Marx was acquired and flipped a few times, I did not know about it's connection to Mego, unless Mego licensed or borrowed the molds.
I feel like Marx morphed into Mego and then Mego morphed into Remco and then Remco morphed into Lanard. I know I'm 100 percent wrong even though that sounds 100 percent right 🤣
ReplyDeleteYou are probably 100% right. Sounds reasonable to me.
