These are the Marx Noble Knights and Mighty Vikings. Also there is a Marx Fighting Knights Carry-All play set. The Marx knights are Sir Gordon the Gold Knight and Sir Stuart the silver knight. The Vikings are Mighty Odin and Brave Erik.
The carry-all carrying case turns into a castle.
These toys are from the late 60s and early 70s.
The blue knight was reissue/new variation made in 2000.
Thank you blunderbuss2.
Thank you Aimathena.
Thank you mikelv85.
Thank you aghcollect.
Thank you gargoylecollector.
Wonderful memories there - and a great display!
I have the Golden Knight, one of the Vikings (the blonde one) and the fold-out castle play-set, too. I have none of the boxes though as mine were my hard-used toys! FWIW, I also have a cowboy "action figure" (Dolls are for girls! Yuck! LOL). I think he was called, Johnny West, as I recall (although I may be mistaken), and a calvary officer, too (and one, lone remaining horse: yellow).
Oh! I have a fold-out Ft Apache, as well; like your "Fighting Knights" castle.
All of mine are packed away, so it was great seeing yours! Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
Thank you very much Former11BRAVO. Glad you like my display. Eventually I will post my other toys which include lots lots of Johnny West, Fort Apache Carry-All (fold out fort) and few dozen GI Joes. Hopefully people will take it easy on me with the doll thing. They are action figures! OK they are dolls I'll just have to live with it.
My knight, Viking (et al) are all pretty-much complete (sans boxes) and I'd often thought of selling them over the years. As you know, of course, w/o boxes, they're really not worth all that much. So, I've decided to keep them and (God willing) share and enjoy them with a grandchild one day. :-)
Thank you very much nutsabotas6, action figures it is.
True that Former11. Unless you really need $20 - $40 whatever it is you should hold on to them. Even with the boxes they are under $100. They are fun to collect though as they are inexpensive and have lots of parts.
Love these!! I still have my MARX - "Best of the West" toys from the 1960's. I posted them here:

Thank you very much antiquerose. I especially like your green Geronimo.
Thank you toracat and autrohungaro. More GI joes coming as I just bought a bunch of parts needed to finish up my joes.
Thank you indianopolis rebel.
Nice collection beautifully displayed!
Thank you very much vonsboy.
