Lincoln Monsters unleashes Captain Vee at ZoloCon 2026!

The Astro-Simians Invade Zolo-Con
Lincoln Monsters unleashes Capt.Vee!
Feb-06-2026
General Zol,the 2026 Zolo-Con exclusive figure by Lincoln Monsters, will not be invading the earth alone. Astro Simian officer Captain Vee will also debut there to greet his superior that weekend!
Thanks to our partnership with Zolo-Con, we were able to launch a figure line based on one of our favourite concepts.
The “Astro-Simians ” toy range is inspired by a series of now (feared lost) 1970s films by the infamous (totally real) movie studio Lincoln International Pictures.
The 8″ Action figure will be first available at Zolo-Con 2026 at the Lincoln Monsters table and then available online at LincolnMonsters.com.


ABOUT LINCOLN MONSTERS
A vintage toy brand is rising from the grave! “Lincoln Monsters” is a new collaboration from White Elephant Toyz, Figure Fiend, 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 1970s third-rate film studio, exploiting and copying horror trends.
The Lincoln Monsters Backer Kit Store is now open to the public. After the successful Kickstarter campaign (Thank You Again!), BackerKit is the next chance to get in on the Lincoln Horror Show.
Issue #13 of Toy-Ventures features the never-before-seen plans for the 1983 World’s Greatest Superheroes toy line and a cover featuring artwork specially commissioned for Mego’s catalog, gloriously coloured by Robyn Adams, founder of the Mego Museum.

First Look! Mego Hawkman!

Mego Hawkmanhttp://www.megomuseum.com
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.

Lincoln Monsters Featured in Rue Morgue Magazine!

Lincoln Monsters Featured in Rue Morgue Magazine!
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.
