SEBRING, Ohio -- April 28, 2004 -- Marx Toys & Entertainment Corp. announced today the recent creation and posting of a new merchandising page on its website http://www.marxtoys.com. There are over 100 individual items presently offered for sale to collectors and others who admire the venerable Marx Toy's brand name and the fun spirit its toys and games provide and bring to mind. These items presently include specific caps, visors, mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, mouse pads, lunchboxes, Frisbees, etc., all of which contain Marx Toy's colorful past, including Magic Marxie, Johnny West, Big Loo, the Vikings, and the Knights. This current array of over 100 collector's favorite items is offered for sale for a limited time only. These specific contents are subject to change and replacement from among the more than 1,000 other toys and games available from Marx Toy's product inventory, dating back to its founding in 1919.
These products can be seen and ordered online at http://www.magicmarxie.com or http://www.marxtoys.com. These items are offered for sale at reasonable prices, on a 30-day money-back guarantee basis and are shipped within two-three days after receipt of an order.
President/CEO Robert Bambery said: "The advent of our new merchandising website is another step in management's plan to energize and expand the promotion of Marx Toys' rich product heritage to collectors and other interested consumers -- in this case, with a mere click of a mouse."
Separately, please note that Marx Toys' stock trading symbol, which is normally MRXT, has temporarily become MRXTE. The Company was late in submitting an SEC filing due to the recent transition to our new management, which caused the routine addition of the "E". We expect to resolve this matter shortly, after which the temporary "E" would be dropped.
