I had them ALL! Who wanted Barbie when you had the Best of the West! I wish I still had them.... because I had EVERYTHING.... all the figures, horses and play sets, and I never lost any accessories because I was a careful kid! Makes me sad, that it all got sold at a yard sale..... but makes me happy I can see them again, on channels like this! THANK YOU!!!!

I did too. Maybe 2 or 3 i didnt get, but most all of them, and the buckboard, covered wagon, horses, etc.

Johnny was my favorite!!!! Teamed up with Geronimo and they were my versión of the Lone Ranger and Tonto!

Had a couple. Loved them.

Big Jim !!

My sister and I had every piece except for the bad guy. We LOVED playing with these toys when it rained or there was a blizzard.

I had johny west and chief Cherokee and loved them ! At one time we lived by a small creek in idaho , I made sort of " flatboat " and spent hours crashing them in the "rapids " thank goodness it all floated . Also my mom had saved her old babies doll carriage to pass to her daughters some day but it made a great stage coach , which quickly got destroyed by crashing " the stage coach " on a big hump in our side walk in front on the house . The faster you hit it the better the wreck ! Baby carriage got trashed pretty fast but the wheels and axes went on the backboard I made .

Over the years i tried to describe or see if men mu age remembered these toys. Finally I found evidence of them. I forgot the name Johnny West so it was hard to make a search.

I had a couple of these. Cheif Cherokee and fighting Eagle, both presents from my Mum back in the late 1960's. I lost them down the years, but recently I've had a hankering and so have been purchasing them again on eBay and my god I forgot at how well made they were. Real quality items imo, and the facial sculpt were superb. Recommended!

My grandma got these for me for xmas and bdays from the early 70s to the early 80s Must have been NOS in the old toy store she shopped at, I loved that store lots of old toys. In the mid 80s my mom threw them all away.along with my revenge of the jedi bed sheets. I had a couple Johnnys his Son and Daughter, COL Custer a few horses the Mom a few of the native americans and others hours of fun

I got my first one 1972 , still have right now 11/21

Awesome review! Love this line of action figures.

I had about 6 figures, two horses, and the buckboard wagon. Even though many of the ones in existence now have broken arms and legs when they were new they lasted for years. I never broke and arm or leg and my friends never broke theirs either. Plastic must have deteriorated over time.

I remember the commercial talking about JOHNNY WEST and CHIEF CHEROKEE

Great video.. Thx for sharing..👍😎👍

Thanks for watching!

Muy buen video, excelentes piezas, muchos saludos.

My dad had a couple of these loose that he found at a flea market, he had a huge set of them when he was a kid so he was stoked to find these and they sat up on one of his bookshelves with a bunch of books about the old west for years. I actually just donated them to the Texas Toy Museum a couple years ago because I just don't have the space to keep them, but they were very cool.

1965? No no no. I had 3 of these figures in 1975 brand New as a kid

It sounds familiar but I don't have any info on it. I will research that.

I found the one I had. It's Jay West

I don’t know if you know this or not . When hasbro came with GI Joe In 1964 . Marx came out with Stony Smith but this figure could only bend his arms no knee joints. And in 1965 Marx came out with a new version of stony smith with bending arms , knees . By they it was to late . So Marx took stony Smith head/face and put it on a cowboy body and johnny west was born . Marx did pretty well with Johnny west series then also more accessories with the figure. So you didn’t have to buy it separate. You can start playing right away. I hope you found this interesting. If not let me know and I’ll stop.
