Johnny West was a 12-inch tall American cowboy action figure, and the central character in the Louis Marx company's "Best of the West" 'sixth scale' (1:6) toy line. The line was produced from 1965 until 1976, and featured a number of characters based on American 'Old West' motifs, utilizing a wide range of outfit and accessory pieces. Foreign-manufactured variants of the Johnny West exist, including a green-bodied cowboy from Canada, and versions with the 'rubbery' polyvinyl accessories appearing in red and blue.
