I think this may be one of my favourite ’70s figure sets ever. I mean that sincerely. I grew up with Big Jim, and the Filmation Tarzan cartoon is still a passion of mine. To get my set, I had to negotiate with my long-time friend Mark until 3 a.m in a crappy Toronto airport hotel. Sometimes, the stories become intertwined with the toy, and that’s why we collect.
I don’t run into figural banks much here in Canada (other than Col. Sanders, which, OMG, did everyone in the country get one?), and that’s probably a good thing because I am powerless against them. I am worried it will be a repeat of the “Blow Mold Obsession” with these banks, and well, I don’t have any more room.

Mego Lex Luthor in wave 19 Worlds Greatest Superheroes
Although he has no superpowers to speak of, Luthor has come closer to defeating Superman more times than any of his other adversaries. With his brilliant mind, Luthor’s schemes nearly always come close, until his massive ego gets in his way. No matter the situation, it’s Luthor’s hubris that’s always his downfall.Lex Luthor is the greatest criminal mind of our time. The primary arch-enemy of Superman, Lex uses his intelligence to create machines to destroy the Man of Steel. Mego Corp. adds the Lex Luthor to our 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superfoes line with a great new sculpt by Andrew Covalt and with costuming by Dave McCormick.

First Look: Mego Hawkman from World’s Greatest Superheroes Wave 19
Scientific genius Carter Hall from another world flies into action as Hawkman, the winged avenger. Using his arsenal of amazing weapons, he battles both earthly and interplanetary foes.
First appearing in 1940 in Flash Comics #1, Hawkman was a founding member of the Justice Society. When the DC superhero universe was reintroduced in the 1960s, Hawkman’s origin became an alien lawman named Katar Hol, and he soon joined the Justice League of America. Hawkman can always be relied on in the fight for good versus evil!
Mego Corp. continues to expand their 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes collection with this classic hero. Sculpted by Andrew Covalt.

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.
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…

In honour of the release of Furiosa, Toy-Ventures looks at the most excellent 1980s Post-Apocalyptic Toy Line: Tonka’s Steel Monsters. It was all things “Mad Max” except for the name. How did such a gorgeous toy line fail? What didn’t get made? We get the scoop from the creators.

The latest issue of Rue Morgue magazine (on stands now!) features a gorgeous piece by James Burrell about the return of the Lincoln Monsters.
We even made the cover! Truly grateful for this wonderful opportunity!
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 Lincoln Monsters 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.

Issue 12 Toy-Ventures magazine delves deep into a toy that, sadly, never was. Prank ‘N Stein was a 90s toy concept by Canada’s Irwin Toys that would have rivalled Kenner’s Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces in our monster kid hearts.
Issue 12 of Toy-Ventures magazine is now up for pre-order. Issue 12 is a celebration of Stretch Monster featuring a deluxe gatefold cover by Mr. Peter Carsillo (Cover artist for Issue).
