Lincoln International Cowboy

This fellow arrived last week; it was an eBay auction spotted by my friend Rob Turner. Not only is he the product of Lincoln International (my favourite producer of Mego Knock-Offs), but he’s also a total mystery!

He’s the exact figure Lincoln produced under the “Thrill Seekers” name, a Mego Action Jackson KO. However, there is one slight problem: the Thrillseekers packaging doesn’t mention a cowboy outfit.

Mego Knock-Offs: Lincoln International Cowboy

BTW the boots are the same as another Lincoln masterpiece, the infamous Mr. Rock!

So either there are more undiscovered Thrill Seekers out there, or there is possibly another Lincoln line we don’t know about, or some kid put this outfit on his Thrill Seeker figure. I hope it’s not the last one but it’s entirely possible. Mystery figures are the spice of this hobby to me, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. If anybody has any insight, please let me know. Of course, this came from the UK, which seems to have a special relationship with Lincoln.

Somewhere, I have a cowboy hat and a pistol for this hombre…

Lincoln Monsters Exclusive Reveal!

Here’s a first look at the factory sample of the Power of Frankenstein figure. We sent our designs to the factory, and they knocked us out with their attention to detail!

We’re also pleased to announce that each Lincoln Monster will have ” Spectra—X Glow in the Dark” claws and a pair of regular hands.

ABOUT LINCOLN MONSTERS

A vintage toy brand is rising from the grave! “Lincoln Monsters” is a new collaboration from White Elephant Toyz, Absolutely Retro and Plaid Stallions, who have joined forces to make dimestore retro monsters. The name is inspired by the legendary knock-off toy company Lincoln International. However, Lincoln Monsters reimagines the company as a 70s third-rate film studio, making exploitation and copying horror trends. Each Lincoln Monster release and creation will center around a fictional movie from Lincoln International Studios, premiering with The Evil of Count Dracula.

The 8″ Evil of Count Dracula figure will be on a type S body, with a look inspired by the past but retaining the LM house style.

Each Evil of Dracula figure will come in a gorgeous solid box with artwork by Chris Franklin depicting the gorey poster for the movie made to cash in on Hammer horror. Like all good horror shows, this is a double bill as Lincoln Monsters will also release “The Power of Frankenstein,” featuring a stunning poster by Chris Franklin. “Our goal is to create well-made figures inspired by cheap knock-offs,” explains White Elephant Toyz Jason Schiermeyer who adds, “At a collector-friendly price point.” Subsequent releases from Lincoln Monsters will include original male and female character designs that cross multiple film genres from Science Fiction, Horror and Exploitation. The fictional Lincoln studio was known to dabble in Gothic Horror, Ozsplotation, Philippine Drive-In movies and Italian rip-offs.

Knock-Off King

When I started collecting Mego-scaled Knock-Offs, I knew there was at least one Elvis out there, but since then, I’ve been on my third bootleggy iteration of Mr. The Pelvis.

My latest, “The King,” is my most original and new favourite. He’s a 9″ doll with a unique head sculpt (which isn’t bad, all things considered), some truly interesting clothes, and a blow-moulded body in gold and red. It’s probably a recycled Ultra-Man bootleg.

While I’m probably certain that this was just done out of a complete lack of care, that extra bit of irony puts a perfect bow on why I love collecting this crap. What commemorates Elvis better than a hilariously badly made toy that doesn’t give his estate a penny?

Knock-Off King

Now I can imagine Elvis as Earth’s guardian karate choppin’ Gameras.”The solar energy which gives Elvis his superhuman power decreases rapidly in Earth’s atmosphere.” The timer starts to blink…….

Mego Meet 2024 will be hosted this August 17-18 at Zolo-Con. We’ll have our own dealer area, panels, customs contests for the kids and late night swap meets in the Mego Suite.

The post Hail to Knock-Off King! appeared first on PS.

( legalese: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated)

Excel Toys Kojak set with villain (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Longtime PlaidStallions readers will know that I am borderline obsessed with Kojak merchandise. It’s such a weird fit and I especially love the action figure, which I proudly own. This is the rare catalogue set that includes “Bad Guy” which in reality is an AHI Butch Cavendish Knock Off figure that looks like a Footlocker employee. I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything.

PS Here’s my video on Kojak Toys.

Fleetwood Glowing Marvel Superheroes Display Box (eBay Affiliate Link) —

When I stumbled upon this, it gave me a feeling I haven’t had in ages, just pure wonder. This is a display box for label slap flashlights that were really, really crappy, but the label is Marvel FREAKING Superheroes! It’s Marvel comics in its Bronze Age glory, and the Fantastic Four are involved. I cut my teeth on Kirby/Lee FF thanks to Treasury Editions and I adore those characters as a result (Also, the Corman Movie is currently the most faithful, don’t agree? Bike Racks at 3:15) . I know if you click on this link, I may get a shiny penny, so you have no reason to trust me, but I implore you to check this auction out; the images will likely stir some emotion. 

The price tag will also elicit some emotion, but where else can you find such a thing?

Inflatable Planet of the Apes Cornelius (eBay Affiliate Link) —

Oh, good golly, Miss Molly, smooshing Planet of the Apes with Poly Vinyl Chloride, maybe the “Peanut Butter and Chocolate” of toy making. I own one of these in the baggy, and while I overpaid (waaaay too much Christmas cheer and watching an Apes movie), it inspired the Infl8able Monster premium for issue 12 of Toy-Ventures. I’ll never regret the purchase, that’s for sure!

End Run Mego Micronauts Antron (eBay Affiliate Link) —

At some point during the dissolving of Mego Corporation, a whole bunch of oddball items appeared at Toys R Us stores under the “Lion Rock” banner (*psssssst* Lion Rock was Mego all along!) and all of them are awesome and weird! Case in point, these “factory floor sweeping” put onto cards. Antron doesn’t have any of his cool weapons but hey, he’s 97 cents!

As a kid, I would have fallen for this ruse, by the way. I want this damned thing now!

Hagar the Horrible Halloween Costume by Collegeville (eBay Affiliate Link) —

I unabashedly love Hagar the Horrible and was so amused to find this. As a fan of comic strips, none aged more poorly than Hagar, but so undeservedly so. I adore the faithful paint mask on this. I have a weird story about Hagar comics from my childhood, but I’ll do it in the next PodStallions Nerdtherapy session.

Lincoln Monsters posts

The post Lincoln Monsters Update and Trailer appeared first on PS.

Original Black Hole Magazine Cover Art (eBay Link) —

As a lover of all things Black Hole, I will say this is striking. The Cygnus is one of the coolest space ships ever built. My only quibble with this is and no offense to Robert Forster but why no Vincent or Bob? Not to mention Ernest Borgnine, he sells magazines, people!

Chuck E Cheese Statue (eBay Link)—

I didn’t enter a Chuck E. Cheese until my twenties when I took a girl on a date there. However, I grew up watching the commercials on Buffalo 29 as a kid, so I do get nostalgic for this kind of thing. 

Shindana Slade (eBay Link) —

I sincerely straight up adore Shindana Toy’s crime-fighting badass! He’s a street-wise, college-educated army vet turned government agent. I treat him like a de-facto member of Big Jim’s P.A.C.k.

I did an article about Shindana toys in Toy-Ventures Issue 10 and below is a video I did earlier:

Also, PBS did a great piece on the history of Shindana Toys and it’s well worth watching.

Green Lantern/Green Arrow kid’s shirt from 1975 (eBay Link) —

I don’t know about you guys but this kind of stuff never made it to my mall. We’d be lucky to get Batman or a Generic Hero T-Shirt (I had Captain Whizzo) but this was “Heroes World” stuff, that was it. Wow, I just love this and the seller has a pile more.

Space:1999 Commander Koenig Bank (eBay Link)—

As a child, I’d have really saved better if I had the stern face of Martin Landau judging me. Commander Koenig would have probably talked me out of that ice cream because I’m saving to order from Heroes World. Where were you when I needed you, Martin Landau?

Mego Knock Off Headquarters– The leading group discussing 70s Dime store knock-offs and bootleg action figures, we talk vintage toys and not others. We know the difference between Astro Apes and Action Apeman.  It’s a fun group where we talk about Lincoln Monsters, AHI, Mighty Gary, Tomland, Bogi, Demo Man, Mortoys, and other generic greats.

The post Toy-Ventures: Planet of the Apes Time Capsule appeared first on PS.

Toy-Ventures this week talks about Big Bad John, the rarest Lincoln International figure out there and a relatively new discovery. A generic bad guy figure for your Mego Starsky and Hutch figures. One of the best things online toy communities can do is work together and discover new things. The story of Big Bad John is one of those times that you’re proud to be part of seomthing.
