A pointy-eared cousin of the Lincoln International Monsters, Mr. Rock is rarer than a Vulcan laugh.
A Spock rip-off, this figure has attained legendary status among Lincoln and Mego collectors and is seen, like the Victim, as a bone-fide member of the Lincoln International Monsters.
To create a pauper's version I enlisted my pointy-eared Hornby elf and his trousers.
I added a blue top, coloured the trousers black and re-styled the hair and eyebrows. I added shoes for 'elf and 'appiness!
I've read that the figure came with a pink radio and a flare gun too.
Grabbing one of my new blisters and finding a picture of Mr.Rock in my copy of the Rack Toys book, I photographed a few different angles.
More of a comical impression of Mr. Rock, a knockoff of a knockoff!
Live long and bodger.
Another great toy project. From Elf to Alien - inspired.
