Lincoln Monsters Launches “Monster Maker” Kickstarter
A new spin on the 3.75″ Horror action figure just in time for Halloween.
Dateline: NEWARK, DE, October 31, 2025 –
Toymaker Lincoln Monsters has launched an ambitious new Kickstarter called “Monster Maker” featuring their characters in a new, interchangeable figure format. The new 3.75″ figures are based on classic Lincoln Monsters designs but also feature interchangeable limbs and collector-friendly packaging.
“Our “pop-socket” system allows you to easily pop off heads and limbs and swap accessories between figures to create your own unique creature creations.” explain’s Lincoln Monsters Todd Broadwater “Swap out Drac’s head and hands with Frankenstein’s to create “Frankula” or “Dracenstein.” This easy-to-use s
wapping system allows for endless possibilities.”
The Lincoln Monster Kick Starter lasts for the month of November and stretch goals include unlocking the Tomland Monsters characters, Playsets, exclusive packaging and a reward that turns you into a monster figure.
This toy-making project celebrates all that we love: monster movies, dime store “rack toys,” glow-in-the-dark, knock-offs, gimmicks and ballyhoo, auteurs, dark rides, Mego dolls, irony, those “Cracked” Monster Specials, and quality action figures.
Our goal is to recreate the experience of those inventive, lower-cost dime-store monster figures of yore, but at the level of quality we wish they had always been.

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.
