Playset Magazine Index Notes This table of contents includes issues 1 to 48. Most entries show the magazine issue followed by a page number, but no page number is shown if the article covers several pages. Issue 3 had no page numbers; page numbers shown for that issue assume PM’s normal style of starting with the cover as page 1. Manufacturers of toy soldiers are shown in bold. With a few exceptions, this list does not include advertisements, editor's page, letters, dioDrama, PM Puzzler, Marx on the Internet, Marx Memory columns and similar collector reminisces, My Side columns, articles on movies and similar non-playset topics, and a small number of short filler items. Issues that feature Marx playsets often include 1) general background information on the playset theme and 2) information on playset items of the same theme that were produced by other manufacturers. However, items made by others have been separately indexed. 21st Century D-Day figures, 33 p. 27 Deluxe Military Playset, 13 p. 28 German WW II soldiers, 12 p. 30 Files bankruptcy, 9 p. 10 German artillery (PAK 40), 33 p. 27 German bunker with artillery gun, 33 p. 27 German troop carrier, 33 p. 27 Interview with company president, 13 p. 27 Listening post (U.S. or German), 33 p. 27 Mortar pit (U.S. or German), 33 p. 27 Okinawa mini playset, 31 p. 9 Stalingard mini-playset, 31 p. 9 1 of 60 WW II aircraft, 34, p. 36 WW II tanks, 20 p. 28 WW II U.S. soldiers, 12 p. 30 A Call to Arms British Grenadier figures, 39 p. 27 Accurate Revolutionary War figures, 39 p. 27 Airfix Army truck, 25 p. 26 Cavalry, 3 p. 24 Civil War figures, 38 p. 14 Foreign Legion, 44 p. 10 Sale of company, 31 p. 9 Tarzan, 45 p. 12 Uncertain future of company, 30 p. 9 AIP See Armies in Plastic Ajax Boxed Davy Crockett Western Rodeo (photo), 34 p. 11 All Metal Products See Wyandot All the King’s Men Continental Light Infantry figures, 39 p. 26 Revolutionary War playsets, 35 p. 29 American Plastics (Jay Horowitz) Re-issue Marx Alamo playset, 15 p. 31 Americana Civil War Andersonville Prison Camp, 28 p. 10 Artillery group, 37 p. 27 Cavalry group, 35 p. 28 Andy Gard Civil War bags, 38 p. 11 Apollo Exploration Playset (miniature, unknown maker), 17 p. 23 2 of 60 Archer Copies of spacemen, 26 p. 10 Armies in Plastic (AIP) Arabs, 11 p. 30 Civil War Zuoaves, 7 p. 26 Fort Morocco, 44 p. 31 Napoleonic artillery sets, 4 p. 30 Napoleonic infantry, 17 p. 30 North African Mahdists and dervishes, 7 p. 26 Army tin litho barracks, unknown maker, 48 p. 13 ATS Toy Soldiers Revolutionary War figures, 39 p. 27 Auburn Farm animals compared to Ohio Art and Tim-Mee, 23 p. 10;
