First released in late 1961, the second series of Disneykins were marketed as "New" Disneykins. Only some of the 34 Disney character figures in this set were available after 1962 -- which accounts for their rarity.

Below is the original product list, photos and other documentation. For more information see the listing in the Disneykins Database™.

The 34 figures in the Second Series are usually harder-to-find because Marx made a lot less of them than they did of the First Series figures. But not all of the "New" Disneykins are worth big bucks.

All of the First Series figures (and some Second series ones) were produced for over ten years (from 1961 to the early 1970s). A number of the "New" Disneykins were produced for only about a year (from 1961 to 1962) which accounts for their scarcity in the secondary market. The "New" Disneykins brand name was only in use for about a year as well. Combine that scarcity with the fragility of some of the figures, along with the demand, and you get the high prices for the rarest "New" Disneykins. Soon after their introduction some of the figures were expanded into their own separate Disneykin lines, like the Pinocchio Series, Ludwig Von Drake, Babes in Toyland Series, and Lady & the Tramp Series. In most cases, the more valuable ones are the figures that were only available for a short time.

The hardest to find (and rarest) "New" Disneykin figures:
(from l. to r.) Toby Tortoise, Uncle Scrooge, Willie the Whale, Bongo the Bear, and Maleficent. Click to enlarge.

< Second Series "Pink" Gift Box, 1961

Like most of the Marx miniature figure lines, the Second Series also included a colorful gift box. A Gift Box enabled one to get all of the figures in one series for one $2.49 purchase. All 34 New Disneykins came with this Gift Box set., wshich is sometimes referred to as the "Pink" Box.
