Product code: Custom Marx Blue Ribbon Dogs deals Black and Tan German Shepherd
Price is FIRM. Like their contemporaries Breyer and Hartland, Marx created a wide variety of plastic and rubber toy and model animals in the mid-20th century. The Blue Ribbon Dog series was meant to imitate the look of ceramic without the breakability, and each dog was finished in gloss. This little Marx German shepherd was in need of a new look. (You can see her before and after in the last photo.) I started by removing her seams and Marx logo, and then painted her in Earth Pigments and acrylics to a lovely golden black and tan. She's had several coats of sealant, and her eyes, nose, mouth, and claws are glossed. She measures 1 1/2" tall and just under 2 1/4" long, maybe a little large to be in scale with a Breyer Stablemate. She has a few tiny imperfections but would be a great addition to a model German shepherd collection! She is NOT meant to be a toy, but a piece of artwork. This model will be shipped with deals insurance.
