Doll-A-Day 2023 #338: Marx or Miner Dollhouse Family

   Today's doll is a whole family.


I think they're by Marx, but, while these guys abound on the internet, most people don't seem to know who they were made by. I can see why: They don't seem to have any markings on them. Maybe those are under their clothes. I think they're from the 60's. They could be 1970's.
UPDATE: I found them online, in their original box. While they may have been sold by various companies, the boxed set I found was the 'Bend-A-Family' by Miner Industries of New York, and made in Hong Kong.
  They're standard dollhouse size. The adults are about 6 inches tall. The kids are about 2 and a half inches tall.
 The mom has teeny tiny buttons on the front of her dress.


  They're made of rubber, and have wires inside for posing.

Her legs are a bit wonky.

There are two kids, a little boy, in blue and white gingham, and a little girl in pink, (that might have originally been red), and white gingham.
 

The girl had a red skirt, and the boy had blue shorts.

He looks like he's saying, "Whaaatt?!"


The dad has a glued on shirt and pants, and badly done tie.



  I ran across these guys in storage the other day. They aren't the cleanest, so sorry for the grime!

  That's it for today. See you for the next doll tomorrow, or maybe tonight!
