In 1962 the Louis Marx Toy Company introduced another line of miniature hand-painted figures based on characters made popular by nursery rhymes and fairytales, such as those by the Brothers Grimm. The 35 cute but generic Fairykins figures are often confused with Disneykins. They were packaged and sold in basically the same formats as Disneykins and were also miniature remakes of popular 1950s figures.
Fairykins Gift Box
Marx Fairykins Gift Box (1961):
Like most of the Marx miniature figure lines, the Fairykins series also included a colorful gift box. A Gift Box enabled a child to get almost all of the figures in one series for one $2.49 purchase. Only 34 of the 35 figures came with this Gift Box set. The figure of the Giant (from Jack & the Beanstalk) was too large and was ommitted.
Fairykins were sold in light green boxes in the following formats: Individual open-face boxes, TV-Scenes (12), Playsets (6), the Gift Box (shown), and the unique Fairykins Book.
