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…

Black Hole Pencil Holders (eBay Link) 

I don’t think it’s a secret I’m obsessed with these. A Canadian Cereal premium that celebrated the Black Hole’s True stars. I have complete sets but always buy them when I find them. Check out my video about these here. 

Space:1999 Commander Koenig (eBay Link) 

These 70s figural banks are amazing, I have the Apes ones but still need a Commander Koenig. The seller also has some amazing Space:1999 rack toys as well, worth checking out.

Lincoln International Mr Rock minus head (eBay Link) –

I know this isn’t a complete figure by any means but Mr. Rock is the rolls royce of Knock-Off action figures and well this is tough stuff. Also, if you win this, let me help you in tracking down a reproduction head. I probably know a guy…

Weird Australian Star Trek Towel (eBay Link) –

My good friend Corey sent this to me, and while I’m no stranger to Star Trek towels, this one is hypnotic in its strangeness. It looks like a Ugandan movie poster; I mean that as a compliment. 

Slim Goodbody’s Galactic Health Adventure (eBay Link)–

Full confession, as a kid, I was so starved for Superheroes for a brief while I regularly tuned into Slim Goodbody episodes. It never once motivated me to eat celery but I love him unironically. I’m stupid enough to try and license an action figure too, try and stop me!

Hey next week I’m going to be at Power-Con in the Mego Meet area. I’ll also be giving a panel with some other toy magazine and book publishers. It would be really great if you’re in the area to stop in and say hi. I’ll be in the Mego Meet area.

400 North High Street
Columbus, Ohio 43215

Mr Rock Key Chain from Plaidstallions

Mr. Rock Limited Edition Keychain

Hey folks, I’m happy to announce another addition to our growing range of Toys and Collectibles at the PlaidStallions Store.

This limited edition Mr. Rock key chain is now available. Featuring gorgeous artwork by Chris Franklin (from the Fire and Water Podcast network) showcasing Rock in the classic model kit pose, made famous by another alien.

Mr. Rock is a good luck charm for me; he is featured in both of my books, Rack Toys and Knock Offs and issue 3 of Toy-Ventures magazine. It’s my dream to own a carded one, but that may depend on whether that money tree I planted works out.

I did a video on Mr. Rock that you can watch here:

Mr. Rock also has his own gallery page here on PlaidStallions.

You can get the Mr. Rock keychain here for $4.99 which includes shipping to US and Canada (Europe, UK, Japan, and Aussieland is an extra two bones) Now, fair warning I can’t seem to turn off shipping right now so it will charge you but I’ll refund it after. The perils of being a one-man show is you have to figure stuff out on the fly.

This is just the first of many oddball collectible items we’ll be offering in the PlaidStallions shop this year, can’t wait to talk about February!

Do you miss toy collector magazines?

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s. Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got 8 issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.

The Mego Museum News has rebranded into the Super Collector Newsletter! Encompassing more from sites like PlaidStallions and more. Check it out even if you don’t collect Mego figures.

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.

The PlaidStallions Polyester Pals have arrived and come in green and orange. Be the first kid in the sandbox with our Podcast mascots!

Our latest book is “Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures” a love letter to cheeky copyright-infringing toys. You can get this new book via the PlaidStallions Shop, On Amazon (Affiliate Link) or eBay (eBay Link)
