Marvel the Mustang
By Marx

Ohhhh... If only they made a five foot version of this guy. Possibly the greatest ride-on toy ever built. Marvel is just as good now as he was thirty years ago. Actually compared to todays cheap vacumed molded ride-ons, he is even better.
Marx Toys is back in business after an almost 15 year absence. The new Marx has brought back this classic. The new ones are created from the same molds that were used thirty years ago make the original version. The materials used are also the exact same. Amazingly, the price has not greatly increased. They are available for $35.00 + shipping.

Made of almost indestructable hi-resin plastic with steel internal structure
The saddle and reins are of a softer but still very tough vinyl
A push button on the side of his neck plays back about 20-30 seconds of a horse galloping sound with a great sound nieeeegh at the end.

O.K. WOW, Marvel sounds great but I don't remember him from my own childhood.. So how does he work?

This is the best part. You don't just push Marvel around with your feet. NOOOOOOO... While seated you bounce up and down in the saddle and a set of high tension springs inside Marvel allows his legs to gently stretch to the back and front. THEN! The front legs have just a bit less tension so Marvel gallops forward with each bounce. It take most kids about thirty seconds to grasp the greatness of Marvel and most adults about a month (if ever) to figure out the physics.

This is a kids gift that will last and then some. Marvel can last into the next generation. So no matter if your little ranger turns him into "Hi Ho Silver" or "My Little Pony" Marvel will make for some VERY Happy Trails.
