1960s vintage plastic play set JUNGLE / WILD ANIMAL figures by MPC (Multiple Products Co.) in 54mm play set scale in various shades of brown color. These were widely marketed during the baby boomer era and an affordable alternative to the more expensive Marx figures of the time. Sold and distributed in a variety of Jungle play sets (among them a King Kong play set), in bags, and as cereal premiums their popularity has grown over the years both as nostalgia and because of the wide variety of colors and unlimited shades these were made in, with some being less common or scarce. As I understand it some companies conducted studies to see what colors were appealing to children and hence the unpopular, such as green, and were discontinued or much scarcer (white seems to be the rarest), while others were exclusive to cereal premiums (blaze orange, purple, and canary yellow). This group includes 11 figures: AFRICAN ELEPHANT, GORILLA (tallest figure at 2 and 13/16th inches tall), CHIMPANZEE / CHIMP, INDIAN RHINO / RHINOCEROS, LION, TIGER, ALLIGATOR, POLAR BEAR, standing GRIZZLY BEAR, BISON American Buffalo, and WALRUS. All have minor wear are in very good condition with no damage.
