SDCC: Heroes in Action! Lincoln and LINCOLNSTEIN!

[generic]

And a new meaning to "Lincoln Monsters".

Yeah! I didn't even think of that, but that's a great point!

Lincolnstein is part of the Steampunk mythos - which is growing in popularity -
there was a lot of people dressing up in steampunk outfits at Comicon.

The basic idea is that Lincoln's body is re-animated after his death and
he becomes a tyrant.

Being a huge Lincoln buff myself - I am thrilled that people are into
Lincoln, but I worry that familiarity will breed contempt for the coolest
man of the 19th century.

[AAAAA]

Neat! That's even better IMHO, new and exciting not just re-hash. I am glad to see them do something cool and original, that takes some chutzpah!

it could tie in with attempt of theft & ransom scheme of abe's body from its tomb .( Really happened)

Aw, man - completely great. I can't believe he went for this. And considering there's a cresting trend for vintage literature and monsters - think the recent books "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" - this might actually be a popular figure.

Thomas Carnacki: Ghost Hunter is in my custom to do que. I'm slowly working my customs back from the 1970's to the 1800's.

PS - Lincolnstein is on my letter to Santa this year.

I'm glad Mark is veering off from the original president concept with this. I love it. Great suggestion Scott!

I gotta say again the detailing on these costumes is outstanding.
