First Look! Mego Hawkman!
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.

“Suspects are pantsless, I repeat pantsless”
Another weird way to sell unsold Mego factory seconds, both these figures are on the wrong bodies and each just has a tunic.
I love the header card with the lowest-resolution picture of Adam West they could find. Did they take a Polaroid of an old rabbit ears TV?

1976 Action Figure Explosion!
I got this catalogue just after Christmas, and I wanted to close the year with the single reason I had to have it. This glorious page of plastic joy. I never saw this page as a kid, but wow, that’s how the inside of my brain looked when I was five.
This page, with it’s triple threat of Kenner Bionic Man, GI Joe Adventure Team, and Big Jim’s P.A.C.K hit me like a gut punch but in a good way, more like a “gut hug?” is that a thing?
I enjoyed the book even more when I found the other page with my sixth birthday present, the GI Joe Capture Copter, which also was the “Monster Squad Copter” with my Lincoln Monsters.
Not to mention the Sky Dive to Danger set, another birthday present and my vote for the single greatest GI Joe set ever.
No Offense to fans of Johnny West but I have almost no memory of the toy line. It’s probably because of stuff like Remco Star Trek and the amazing Lazervette had all of my attention and well kind of still do….
Happy New Year!

Mini Godaikin Spider-Man Leopardon by Bandai
This little guy magically arrived yesterday and it became my first toy opening of 2024.
Behold the mini Godaiken of Leopardon, the giant robot from the Amazing Japanese television adaptation of Spider-Man. These appeared when I was in high school, and I immediately recognized them as Shogun Warriors. Shoguns were an unrequited toy love of my childhood, meaning I never got many but adored the comic. So, I bought a bunch throughout high school.
Leopardon got special meaning in the 80s when I got a bootleg tape of the Japanese Spider-Man series (I was the “bootleg tape” guy in high school/college/now) and it was like knowing an incredible secret.
I remember finding this exact figure in 1991 at a Toys R Us store outside of Toronto and immediately buying it. Sadly, all of them were lost to time, and these figures went from sitting gathering dust at Toys R Us to just OUTRIGHT disappearing.
Seriously, I’m always on the hunt; I’ve found 2 of these things, and that’s it. The bubbles are likely the most significant issue; they are “rack toy”, although the figure is still high quality.
Happy 2024, everyone; let’s fill it with good stories.

LINCOLN MONSTERS BRINGS BACK THE RETRO MONSTER ACTION FIGURE
Lincoln Monsters brings back the Retro Monster action figure
Toronto, Ontario, October 31, 2023-
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 Dracula.
The 8″ Evil of 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 at the same time 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.
“We realized we all complimented each other and liked a lot of the same things and agreed on a vision,” explains PlaidStallion’s Brian Heiler, who adds, “This is long term, we’re putting everything into new figures and ideas; it’s basically three guys saying “you know what would be cool?”
Look for a newly revised Lincolnmonsters.com this November and the first offering of figures in Q1 2024. #retromonster

Mego World’s Greatest Super-Heroes 50th Anniversary Red Tornado Box Artwork
The World’s Greatest Super-Heroes 50th Anniversary Red Tornado Box Artwork
With the power of cyclone force winds Mego is bringing fan favorite, Red Tornado, to the 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Super-Hero collection! The Red Tornado was created by supervillain Dr. Morrow to defeat the Justice League. Red Tornado “contemplated the nature of good and evil and decided that good was the superior force”. He then used his high-speed wind velocity superpowers to help the league defeat his creator!
Red Tornado will come in a retro styled window box featuring classic artwork. He definitely captures the iconic look of the original World’s Greatest Super-Hero Mego action figures. Red Tornado will be part of Mego Wave 18 wave and is expected to be available 4th Qtr. of this year!
Collect them all!
