Hasbro Mighty Muggs Checklist: Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones, GI Joe, & Transformers (Fall 2008 Update!)

hasbro-logo2.png

Since we’re at a CARS lull, how about this 3 3/4″ Star Wars thing? It looks like if I start now, I’m exactly 17,452 figures away from a complete set … perhaps I should find an easier line to collect …

mightymuggs-logo.jpg

Yes, it looks like Hasbro has launched yet another cool Star Wars line - the Mighty Muggs - inspired by the urban vinyl figures from Asia (though these are not actually vinyl), Hasbro did a great job of mixing pop art, cute, and cool. Each figure is about 6″ tall. Even the box is nicely done as a cool standalone display item …

mightymuggbox.png

They range in price from $9.99 to $14.99 - available at the big three (WM, Target, TRU) and the few million places on Earth that sells Star Wars stuff (in other words, everywhere but Amish country unless you count the Death Star made of twine?)

sw-logo.jpg

STAR WARS (Wave 1)

Boba Fett, Chewbacca, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Han Solo, & Stormtrooper (though honestly, they need no name tags at all … they also all come with some sort of weapon or accessory - some of the PR photos just show the figures)

mightymugg-stormtrooper.jpg

STAR WARS (Wave 2)

The equally obscure figures of: C-3PO, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu & (Young) Obi-Wan Kenobi. I admit the young Obi-Wan doesn’t do anything for me so … gasp … I might not be buying them all … I did say ‘might’ ;-)

mightymugg-c3po.jpg

mightymugg-macewindu.jpg

mightymugg-obione-young.jpg

BTW, there seems to be a color variant on C-3PO, not sure if it’s a shot one error or a common thing.

STAR WARS (Wave 3)

Commander Cody, Jango Fett, Lando Calrissian, & Princess Leia. Three look great - not sure about Princess Leia … looking a tad too much like the Lego face and with Legos, they have an excuse the art surface is like 4mm … here, not so much … especially since Lando looks great - great job of capturing Billy Dee Williams as Lando … maybe I’ll just wait for Princess Leia in bikini …

mightymugg-lando2.jpg

mightymugg-princessleia2.jpg

STAR WARS (Wave 4)

Emperor, General Grievous, Luke Skywalker (Bespin), & Yoda. This wave doesn’t do much for me - maybe General Grievous and maybe battle damaged Luke (okay, he’s on the list now - removable hand!) Yoda definitely doesn’t look right. He neither looks wise or fierce … he looks like a green bobblehead of a TMNT … of course, he’s Yoda - must buy anyway.

STAR WARS (Wave 5) (arriving Summer 2008)

Surprised, synced with the release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated film: Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, Captain Rex, and Clone Wars Anakin. I guess we know Asajj by her cleavage? :-) … Dooku looks great and nice weapons for Rex but Anakin? Not terribly exciting.

STAR WARS (Wave 6) (October 2008)

Another solid wave: Grand Moff Tarkin, Han Solo-Hoth, Darth Vadar 2 & Plo Koon (nice detailing!). Waiting on Hi-Res photos.

STAR WARS (Wave 7) (November 2008)

Details unclear but currently listed with two repeats from Wave 6: Han Solo-Hoth & Darth Vadar 2 with Darth Maul 2 (main different is body art design extends to navel) & Darth Revan which should be cool looking. Waiting on Hi-Res photos.

indianajoneslogo.jpg

INDIANA JONES (wave 1)

Cairo Swordsman, Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr., Henry Jones Sr., Mola Ramm, & Monkey Man. While Henry Jones Sr. is not particularly exciting looking, how can you have an Indy set without him? This set looks pretty great - the monkey is the clincher for the Monkey Man :-)

INDIANA JONES (wave 2) (June 2008?)

mightymugg-indianajones-senior.jpg

mightymugg-indianajones-monkeyman.jpg

Indiana Jones (wave 3) (October 2008)

The two villians look nice - Arnold Toht, the Nazi from RAIDERS, of course & Irina Spalko (yea, a woman Mugg!). Indiana Jones in a tux so far doesb’t do it for me - guess he needs his fedora … of course, I’m still buying it.

Indiana Jones (wave 4) (December 2008)

No photos yet but figures announced. The return of Indiana Jones in a white tux from Wave 3, plus Young Indy, (Indy as) Professor Jones & Satipo with Spiders (hey, look, it’s the second Alfred Molina Mugg though okay, the Doc Ock Mighty Mugg is not really him :-).

marvellogo.jpg

Marvel (wave 1)

There is also a Marvel wave - normally, not too interested but they did a nice, nice job on some of the characters. Wave 1 contains Iron Man, Spiderman, Venom & Wolverine. Who knew Venom would be the most sought after one …

mightymugg-ironman.jpg

mightymugg-spiderman.jpg

mightymugg-venom.jpg

mightymugg-wolverine.jpg

Marvel (wave 2) (coming next)

Wave 2 looks much stronger - Captain America, Doctor Doom, Hulk, & The Thing. I am definitely going to get The Thing. Captain America is normally pretty dull but that giant chin they did here is great and Doctor Doom is nicely done also so definitely three of the four. The Hulk looks like a big green baby … uh, no thanks.

mightymugg-captainamerica.jpg

mightymugg-doctordoom.jpg

mightymugg-hulk.jpg

mightymugg-thing.jpg

Marvel (wave 3)

They include a very nice Doc Ock, Thor - again, normally not my interest but nicely done … Ghost Rider is a maybe - it might look way better on the shelves or with a real high res photo … and black Spiderman - for me, me’h … For those picking up Thor - yea, his hair is glued to the helmet and the helmet piece is definitely glue heavy so look closely …

Marvel (wave 4) (November 2008)

They all look great to me - figures I don’t follow too closely but liking the MUggs versions alot though some people are finding fault with them - me, I’ll be getting them all … the fourth is Wolverine, I’m under the impression it’s a different Wolverine but maybe I’m wrong (see Wolverine above): Galactus, Human Torch & Silver Surfer (surfboard very nice!)

Marvel (wave 5) (December 2008)

No official photos out yet but the wave is announced and it’s another nice one (other than no Marvel women - hello?) … Tony Stark’s escape Iron Man Mk1 version, Skrull shape shifter, The Vision, Avengers’ Android and from the Ultimate stortyline and look - the “Ultimate” Captain America.

You asked for it and Hasbro delivers in 2009. It’s Joe. Here’s comes Joe! And the first wave looks amazing and I haven’t checked into GI Joe for a while but I’m in!

GI JOE (Wave 1)

I think the word is AWESOME … Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow …

GI JOE (Wave 2)

Only announced two of the 4 - I’m guessing it’s another Joe or two … plus

Also coming in 2009, some little thing called Transformers … and in the first wave -duh, Optimus Prime … rest of the wave unannounced yet … but there’s plenty to keep our wallets busy until then, eh?

EXCLUSIVES

SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2008

2008 SD Comic Con exclusives including: a movie Iron Man, Commander Gree &; Indiana Jones Golden Idol Mighty Muggs - shouldn’t the Idol be an accessory but hey, it’s an exclusive. Latest add - Peter Parker/Spidey - um, guess they did Peter Parker and maybe people were thinking - random dweeb? It’s the most limited of the exclusives - 3,008 pieces. Comic Con 2008 UPDATE HERE. The Mighty Muggs Iron Man is not only one of the nicest Muggs but one of the nicest and sharpest looking action figures EVAH … HOF stuff.

PREVIEWS-DIAMOND DISTRIBUTORS (This Fall)

And as if that’s not enough, another four exclusives via PREVIEWS. Previews is the distributor that supplies comic book and independent toy stores. Four more great freakin’ sculpts … how are we supposed to resist if they look so damn cool?

Yea, two from that that Star Wars film series … like you need to be told :-) , Admiral Ackbar & Shadow Trooper:

And another separate Previews-Diamond two-pack … more Marvel goodness (and again, nicely done!), Thanos & Red Skull.

ALSO (Non-Exclusives)

Good news for customizers, Hasbro will sell an ALL-BLACK and an ALL-WHITE version for doing your own thing this Fall - I would love to see kind of cool designs people come up with (send us your photos!).

  1. Where’s R2?

    (METROXING: Don’t worry - there are at least 4 other waves scheduled for 2008 - they haven’t announced what’s in each one yet - just they’re coming :-) )

    [Reply]

  2. These are soooooo simple . . . Great design - FUN !

  3. I like all these mighty muggs! :O

    I like all these mighty muggs! :O :)

  4. These rock. I love how much love they are giving the Imperials!

    [Reply]

  5. one female character?

    (METROXING: Well, most toy companes operate on the principle that “girl/woman” characters don’t sell as well … I do not agree with their way of thinking … maybe they should find some better designers/scuplters :-) )

    [Reply]

  6. We picked up Spiderman today at WM; I asked my 3 y/o if he wanted Spiderman or Iron Man and was surprised he picked Spiderman. He looks OK other than the big white “eyes”. Waiting for Captain America now. Wonder Woman would be awesome! Or She-Hulk.

    (MET: I haven’t seen any of the Marvel ones at WM yet … though I am complete on the SW ones).

    [Reply]

  7. At first my bf and I were just going to resell the entire lot that we have because we needed the money….But i got attached to them and can’t let them go..

    My next would probably be jango, grievous, venom and dr. doom.

    thanks for this post!

    [Reply]

  8. Wave Three Marvel will include Doctor Octopus, Thor, Ghost Rider, and Black-Suit Spider-Man.

    There’s also a movie-version of Iron Man, the Indiana Jones Golden Idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark, and a green camo Clone Commander figure for Star Wars, but all of thsoe are convention exclusives and thus much harder to find.

    (MET: Thanks for the update - I had seen a small pic of the Golden Idol, thought that was oddly too large but had not heard of the new Marvel ones - time to ask Hasbro for some new PR photos. Thanks!)

    [Reply]

  9. I just ordered Iron Man and Wolverine on Walmart.com. I spoke with an employee from WM & Target and they both told me they only got one box of Marvel wave 1, with only one of each figure. The WM kid told me they were getting ready for Hulk, Indiana Jones, and a new Batman movie for toys so they weren’t really interested in the new Marvel stuff since it had no supporting movie. That may have been his personal opinion; I didn’t ask. TRU hadn’t gotten them yet. I did Site to Store shipping again so hopefully they’ll be at the store in less than a week like last time when I ordered Flik/Flea. And it’s free!

    By the way I think the reason why Sally from Cars is blue is so she’s more appealing for boys to play with since she’s a girl.

    (MET: That’s cool, yea, that makes sense … the Marvel figures definitely sound like something the comic stores are more inclined to carry).

    [Reply]

  10. I picked up the Mace Windu Figure on Monday and I gotta say… these things are awesome! I am thinking on picking up one Marvel character but methinks I’ll just get Star Wars ones….

    (MET: Yea, hard to buy just one …).

    [Reply]

  11. I just picked up the first two waves of Marvel Mighty Muggs today. I think these things are so cool. I have them set up in fighting poses (Spider-Man vs. Venom and Hulk vs. Thing) for now. I also turned the boxes so the tops are facing and lined them up on the shelf. Surprisingly, it looks very neat. Good job Hasbro! Anyone know the release date of Marvel wave 3 or whats in wave 4?

    (MET: Wave 3 should be out in early June - not sure what’s in wave 4).

    [Reply]

  12. Wow, Wave 5 of the Star Wars line looks awesome! Although I do gotta agree, that Anakin isn’t that great…
    I picked up the Obi-Wan figure a while ago… he’s okay, Mace is DEFINITELY the pick of Wave 2 though

    (MET: Yea, they’re doing a great job on these … not so good for our wallets ;-) )

    [Reply]

  13. Picked up Dr. Doom tonight…..what a cute little thing! Who knows- maybe I will start collecting the whole line.

    http://doomstadt.4.forumer.com

    [Reply]

  14. I was able to find the marvel second wave at target! Captain America is the one in that collection. Still need a few from star wars to complete my collection. I installed a shelf in my office because I’m running out of room. They look really cool. I have two rows of muggs. On the front row they are just on the shelf and on the back row I put the packaging box then placed my muggs on top of it. Five boxes across. Surprisingly it looks great. I have noticed that target and kmart get one wave of four at a time at least in my neck of the woods. Good luck finding them :)
    (MET: Nice Target there, just a few SW ones - no Marvel ones here at Target ;-( though yea, they even did a great job on the boxes.)

    [Reply]

  15. I’ve gotta have them all!!!!! I’m going to Wizard World Philly so I’ll be checking to score some deals with these lil guys. :D

    [Reply]

  16. I can’t find Captain America anywhere!
    Wonder Woman would be awesome.
    WM.com has them online; most with free site-to-store shipping.

    (MET: Last I checked, WM.com only had a few online though the ship to store feature is nice).

    [Reply]

  17. [...] (Photo source: Two A Day) [...]

  18. My son has Luke Skywalker- his dad bought it for him this weekend. His hand comes off just like in the movie!

    (MET: That’s cool, I got it but haven’t displayed it yet …).

    [Reply]

  19. hi i think these thing are great i have 1 marvel mighty mugg and it is iron man but star wars i have han solo,chewwie,darth vader,boba fett,luke,obi-wan,mace windu,c3po,the princess,commander cody,jango fett,and lando.

    im planing to get the whole marvel set and star wars set but stormtrooper and darth maul htf gotta buy them on ebay.looking forward to the 4th and 5th set of star wars and what im trying to say is I WANT THEM ALL

    P.S.I WANT THE INDY MIGHTY MUGGS TOO!

    (MET: Yea, they did a great job with them).

    [Reply]

  20. i want set 4 so bad for the star wars

    [Reply]

  21. Some of star wars are hard to find but just keep checking hasbro’s website they restock everything there but you have to check often. Wal Mart online had the stormtrooper the other week but it sold out before I could get my hands on it. If you can’t wait then ebay but remember this isn’t a limited edition series so its all going to come out again especially with the release of the clone wars movie.

    [Reply]

  22. Picked up all but the hulk from wave 2 of the marvel line… apparently everyone is sold out of the hulk! I also nabbed Jango Fett while i was at it and felt something was off with him but couldn’t put my finger on it until I got him home and next to the others. He’s in a box with vader on it! He hasnt been opened and the insert inside is def his… yet he came in a vader box??? wtf? Anyone else seen something like this? Email me if you have :D
    (MET: That’s a new one).

    [Reply]

  23. this is to the JoeRocket.well the reason about the vader on the box is that i live in canada and they only sell the boxes with vader on the front the store must have bought it from canada.

    (MET: That’s interesting - guess because of the language requirements, it’s easier just to do one box for everything?)

    [Reply]

  24. There are 42…I have 11(han chewie vader obi maul c3po jango wolverine spidey iron man and venom)I am pretty satisfied with them!

    [Reply]

  25. Can’t find Star Wars Wave 1 anywhere now (ARGHH) but I managed to find Venom today so I got him, he looks pretty neat

    (MET: Wave1 might only be in the comic stores pr online now - most WM’s got no more than two cases).

    [Reply]

  26. DARN THIS SITE!!! YOU GUYS ARE A BAD INFLUENCE ON ME!!!

    Like I needed to start collecting these too…like I needed another hole in the head.

    Visited my local WM today looking for more Cars and there they were… Capt. America, Hulk, Thing, Dr. Doom, Wolverine, and some of the Star Wars Muggs. Sooo cool!!! Great colors, designs and graphics!!

    I lined them up on the shelf so my 4 year old son could tell me which ones he liked the best. Of course he pointed and said “I like all of them!”

    I was going to get all of them, but then reality set in….these things are $10.44+tax a piece! We settled on just getting the Marvel ones. Although we enjoy watching the Star Wars movies, we are bigger Marvel fans. My son didn’t really recognize the Star Wars characters anyway.

    Hulk does look like a big green baby but we couldn’t just leave him there by himself!!!

    Seriously though, thanks Met for turning me onto the Muggs…now, like Cars, I just need to find the other 1000 that are or will be coming out!!! LOL

    (MET: Nice to know the Hulk’s tantrum worked :-) - yea, they are pretty cool).

    [Reply]

  27. wheres R2-D2? hes like the best dude in SW!

    BTW: C-3P0 is suposed to have the silver lego (if you look closely in the films you can see the discoloration)

    (MET: Yea, everyone’s waiting for R2, after all, he’s the real leader of the Rebellion:-) … actually - yes, both C-3PO’s have the silver leg but one is definitely a darker gold - but of course, they’re no longer in stores so I can’t tell if it’s a variant or an error …).

    [Reply]

  28. I agree with collectormom-Wonder Woman would be pretty cool. So would Superman, Batman and Joker, but I believe they are all from DC Comics not Marvel. I would think since The Thing came out, the rest of the Fantastic Four would too? Any of the X-Men would be great!! Professor X, Magneto, Cyclops, Storm, Mystique, Jean Grey and Sabretooth!!!

    (MET: Yea, too bad DC is not going to be part of this line but Marvel has just a few more characters :-) … between SW & Marvel, they & we might be busy for just a tad …).

    [Reply]

  29. Met

    Do you have any more info on the SDCC Iron Man Mugg? I can’t seem to find a pic of the actual Mugg. How much do you think it will be going for at Comic Con?

    Thanks!

    (MET: No pic yet, Hasbro released an illustration - it looks nice, it’s the current IRON MAN mask - gold and red - looks nice … at the Con, it’ll probably be $15 or less would be my guess - they’ll also have the Indiana Jones idol and Commander Gree).

    [Reply]

  30. Thanks Met!

    I did see the illustration and it does look great. I would love to get one… but I won’t be going to CC. Checked ebay and like the LS Mcqueen some people are pre-selling them for a lot!

    Do you happen to know how many will be produced?

    Thanks again.

    (MET: Unknown so far but I don’t think it’s too limited at the show).

    [Reply]

  31. Wow, the most complete picture set I have found! These things are a lot harder to find here in Canada (Vancouver) I managed to get Han plus Spiderman, Venom, Iron Man and Wolverine from Toys r Us and Dr. Doom/Hulk from some comic store. I’m dying to get Vader, Chewiw, Indy…. *sigh* so many!

    (MET: Yea, they came fast & furious).

    [Reply]

  32. Met

    Did you know there is a SDCC exclusive Peter Parker Mighty Mugg? Limited to 3,008 pcs.

    Saw them on ebay of course.

    Not sure if I like the design.

    The body has a green sweater vest, tie, brown pants and shoes but the face is half Peter with glasses and half red costume Spiderman.

    It looks a little strange.

    (MET: 3,000ish sounds like just the right amount to be perfect trade bait :-) )

    [Reply]

  33. Finally found Captain America at WM. Yippee!

    Here’s a thought for Hasbro; Moms with boys play Superheroes with them so you need to make more female characters. I know traditionally boys don’t play with girl characters but…..

    Wonder Woman, She-Hulk, Invisible Woman, Bat Girl, Super Girl, Poison Ivy, Harley-Quinn, any will do! I have no idea which of those are DC or Marvel but anything’s got to be better than Princess Leia with her dorky buns.

    (MET: I’ll do a post on the DC Anime ones - very, er anatomically correct … well, maybe not so much anatomically correct as super enhanced in more ways than one …).

    [Reply]

  34. Good for you collectormom!

    Yes! We definitely need more female Mighty Muggs!!!

    Yesterday I unboxed Capt. America for my son to play with and he hasn’t let go of it yet. He loves it. He has tested the durability of Capt. America a few times by throwing him across the room to make him “fly”. The toy past its test!

    Does anyone who’s going to SDCC have any room in their luggage for one exclusive Iron Man Mighty Mugg? I’ll pay in advance with extra for your trouble. (Should I even start…..like the LS Mcqueen list!!! LOL)

    I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

    Thanks!!!

    (MET: LOL … I had not thought to test out my Capt. America by launching him … :-) )

    [Reply]

  35. wow that peter/spidy is awesome lookin i have to get that!!!

    [Reply]

  36. well…clone wars! Good pick for wave five including the CW tv show coming out! Marvel wave three is awesome have to get Thor and Doc. Ock!!!!!!!!!!!!

    [Reply]

  37. Very nice! I live in England, and I’ve only seen the first two Star Wars waves in stores (just saw wave 2 earlier in TRU). Due to the size of the Muggs (and my already huge toy collection!), I’ve been holding off getting any, but I don’t think I’ll be able to resist for long after seeing the upcoming sets.

    Grievous and Dooku are almost definites, and I’m seriously considering Asajj and Indy too. AHHHH! :|

    [Reply]

  38. wow,

    I just HAVE to get my hands on those Marvel exclusives… I’ve been collecting them all and I have 5 of the 8 that are available right now..

    but wow I really MUST have that Iron Man exlcusive and the Peter Parker one too!

    Anyone going to SDCC08 that can get me those 2, I’ll pay you DOUBLE for what you pay for them!!

    email me at rubenstrange@gmail.com if you’re going or you get your hands on one!

    [Reply]

  39. i got set 4!!!!!!

    [Reply]

  40. if anyone knows a place called comics america thats where to find them early!!!!i got set 4 today and i went there like3 weeks ago to 3 weeks ago i got the 3rd set i live in canada and i still havnt seen the 3rd set in stores!

    [Reply]

  41. hasbros gotta hurry with the boxes for set 5 for star wars,really the 4th is on ebay for like 3 weeks and still they havnt made the boxes for the 5th,well at least that i know of but really we need the 5th set!!!!!

    [Reply]

  42. The “correct” DC female characters may be a little too adult for playing with my kids. :) I did however look at the Marvel site to check out some girlies that Hasbro needs to make;
    Electra
    Hawkeye
    Invisible Woman
    Jubilee
    Marvel Girl
    Medusa
    Phoenix
    Psylocke
    Spider Woman
    She-Hulk
    Thor Girl

    Just to name a few! Marvel has about 400 females to choose from; I’m only looking for a few to get so I can be the girl superhero when I play with my boys. Thor-Girl would be awesome!

    (MET: All good choices … though She-Hulk scares me :-) But I would buy the rest!)

    [Reply]

  43. I didn’t know there was a Thor-Girl!!! Cool!!!

    Went on a toy shopping spree today.

    Found SW Wave 4 and Mace Windu at Target. Of course I had to get all of them!!!

    Scored Iron Man and Commander Cody at TRU.

    Don’t know if anyone is into Transformers here, but I found and purchased the new line of toys from Hasbro called Transformers Animated Activators at WM. It features the characters from the new Transformers cartoon that is on Cartoon Network. They look really nice. They remind me of the Go-Bots line by Playskool which was geared towards 3 year olds and up. I purchased the whole Go-Bots line for my son but unfortunately they were discontinued a few years ago. This new line of Transformers sort of have that same cute, chunky look but are more challenging to transform, for 5+. Of course Bumblebee is our favorite!!!

    (MET: Yea, the animated ones do look cool, I decided to pretend they didn’t exist :-) )

    [Reply]

  44. I wish I had your will-power Met!

    (MET: Some willpower, I’m surrounded by 400 cars, 50 Mighty Muggs … I’d be the Super Hero who is all powerful except for the days he blacks out while holding a credit card in my hand … besides, I know TRANSFORMERS, they’re like rabbits, no such thing as not just one but not just a dozen … :-) )

    [Reply]

  45. I live in the UK so its not that easy to find most of them but I have Darth Vader Chewbacca and Wolverine. I really want all of the Indiana Jones ones and a lot of the Mavel ones. I know the Indy ones aren’t out yet but I can’t find the Marvel ones anywhere.
    I also really want the Golden Idol exclusive but I’ll probably never get one if they are only sold in the SDCC.

    (MET: Hopefully, the Marvel ones are on their way … maybe just the comic shops? The Indiana Jones aren’t scheduled for the US until July … so anyday now …)

    [Reply]

  46. for set six of mighty muggs star wars they should have hoth luke or han,snowtrooper,ewok,and r2d2, and finally jawa.

    like come on you need an r2 and ewok and jawa they gotta have they just have to.

    [Reply]

  47. I was planning on buying the Spiderman one first before I bought the rest of the set because I’ve been obsessed with Spiderman my whole life.

    I went to WM today (I live in RI) and I was searching behind other action figures and I finally found it!!

    I bought all the Marvel Mighty Muggs today at WM thanks to them having 1 last Spiderman :]

    90 dollars later, I completed my Marvel collection… CANT WAIT FOR WAVE 3!!!!

    [Reply]

  48. I am hoping for some super heroines as well. Would love to see:

    MS. MARVEL
    MOCKINGBIRD
    SHE-HULK
    WASP
    VALKYRIE

    [Reply]

  49. Oh, I forgot about Crystal (Medusa’s sister). How cool would her figure be with those big round circles on the back of her head. And of course Invisible Woman with a clear body.

    COOL!

    [Reply]

  50. how come the writing is so small

    (MET: Looks normal at my end (?) … no changes to the post from my end)

    [Reply]

  51. Thought I would get the Mugg party started over here at TakeFiveADay.

    OK, so far I have most of the SW muggs that I wanted. Still hunting down Boba and Jango Fett, C3PO, Darth Vader, Storm trooper and Commander Cody. Whew, ok when I list them out, still alot to go I guess.

    Got all three of the new Indy Muggs at WM this week (and saw them at TRU today too), just too cute to resist. Can’t wait to see photos of Wave 3 Indy.

    I am not collecting Marvel Muggs.

    [Reply]

  52. They had Wolverine and Spider-Man at Target today ^_^ I only got Wolverine, though.

    [Reply]

  53. Hey Monica

    If I find the Muggs you need while I’m out and about, I’ll pick them up for you if you’d like? Do you prefer perfect boxes and/or paint jobs?

    Let me know. :)

    On Saturday, July 26th at 12:01am, my local TRU is having a Star Wars: Clone Wars Midnight Opening. There will be exclusive products and free giveaways.

    Is this TRU event happening across the country and do you think they will have the new Clone Wars MMs available at the event?

    Thanks!

    Heather from Maine

  55. Hey SCFEAD ;)

    My TRU is doing this too, I think that officially qualifies as “across the country” since you are in Maine and I am in California.

    I am hoping the next SW wave of Muggs will be there. Only one way to find out for sure huh?

    The 26th is turning out to be a busy day for me. Between the SW thing and Comicon and I also have a birthday party to go to that day.

    SCFEAD! LOVE IT!

    WOW! You’re going to be a very busy girl! At least your going to be doing really fun things. :)

    The Clone Wars event is waaaayyy past my bedtime….BUT WAIT!!…there is a Starbucks right next door! I wonder if they will be open that late? I think they close at 11:00pm. Getting to TRU an hour earlier would probably be a good I idea anyway. I’ll need extra coffee to keep me awake while standing in line.

  57. Hasbro.com is showing the MM Blank White and MM Blank Black. Unfortunately they only list as coming soon. I want to make Thor Girl!

  58. ‘atta girl, SCFEAD, rally!

    Maybe you can let me know if it’s worth it since I am three hours behind you?

    We saw the preview for the new SW movie when we went to Kungfu Panda (or Konku Panda as my boys call it) and they went gaga over it. I has really been a good summer for kids’ movies.

  59. Monica-

    Sure. If I can get back home in time, I’ll you know.

    Yeah, I think the movie will be good too! :)

    Collectormom-

    You’ll have to take pics of your Thor Girl MM if you make one. I would love to see it! :)

    Maybe we should have a Custom Mighty Mugg contest!

    A few people posted on 2aday that there are two more Previews Exclusive Mighty Muggs, Red Skull & Thanos. Check out bigbadtoystore.com & entertainmentearth.com for pics. They are really cool! Ordered mine! :)

    I sent you an email about a MM you are looking for!!!

  61. Walmart.com has Darth Vader listed right now. I’m going to keep checking back to Walmart’s website to see if other figures get added.

    The TRU in NH is having the Star Wars Clone wars event as well. Should be fun!

  62. Would be nice to see Bikini Leia, R2D2, Ewok, Amidala, Tarkan, and maybe even Jedi Ghost variants.

    How about these probable series: wrestling, Lord of the Rings, Godfather, horror set (Freddy, Jason, Pinhead, Tall-man, Michael Myers, Jigsaw, Cryptkeeper, Hannibal Lector)
    Altho, I dont think theyll ever make a Godfather or horror set with the ages 6+ things. heh

    (MET: Yea, you’re probably right about the horror but only because they’ve got some many easier lines that appeal to kids (Joe, Transformers) that will keep them busy for another year … of course, if they keep releasing like 10 every other week …)

  63. Just got my order of Mighty Muggs from Entertainmentearth.com. Included Han Solo, Chewy, Darth Vader (4 dots) and Darth Maul. They were packed inside their Hasbro shipper box, then packed inside another box with paper.

    The condition of the MM boxes were pretty good. Not mint. The plastic part of each box was nice and clean. There were only a few tiny creases or dents around the corners of each box. I’ve seen much worse MM boxes in the toy stores! I open them up for my son to play with so I’m not too concerned about the boxes anyway. The paint jobs on each Mugg were very good. No major flaws which is the most important to me.

    Over all, pretty satisfied with the purchase. :) Now I’m waiting for my other order which includes Boba Fett and Stormtrooper. Hopefully they will be just as nice.

    (MET: So, does anyone not have the 4-eyed Darth? Mine is the 4-eye version - how about Chewie? Does yours look different than photo here?)

    [Reply]

  64. Why don’t you have a picture of Mutt for the second wave of Indy Muggs.

    (MET: Whoops, got lost in the move - placed him back in - thanks for pointing that out).

    [Reply]

  65. I just got word from a friend that target has indeed some older generation/wave MM’s in stock, vader, stormie, chewie to name the ones he had in hand. This is confirmed! I rushed to my target locally to see if it was true but i guess during closing shift they dont pull stuff from their backroom. Also they’re scheduled to be released 1st week of august. Can anyone else confirm this?

    (my friend couldnt buy them, he got greedy, went back for more, and the manager was there waiting and said they couldnt sell them to him)

    And lastly, im a little irked cause i collected the set the hard way, ebay…limited release, hmph. Good luck to you guys lookin for 1st waves.

    (MET: well, it looks like they made revisions to Darth & Chewie (surprise, surprise) so make sure and look carefully :-) )

    [Reply]

  66. The chewie that I received looks the same as the photo. I’ve seen this chewie version in WM too.

    [Reply]

  67. I haven’t seen the Darth Vader with two eyes yet. I wonder if it really is out there.

    [Reply]

  68. Just ran out on lunch to pick up my Dark Night tickets for tonight…happens to be a TRU right next door…so being a muggs nut i stop in. they had tons…2 boba’s, 2 stormtroopers, all the indy’s, wolverine, iron man, dr doom, spiderman, lando, jango, leia, the emperor…tons!!! i was hoping to find this elusive 2 eyed vader as i only have the 4 eye from the first release. anyways, check your TRU’s as i think they are starting to vamp up the merch to prepare for the midnight openings next friday night.

  69. Is it just me or does it seem like C-3PO is the chase figure of the whole star wars collection? I’ve never once seen one in a store, even before I actually decided to start collecting them. Even ebay only has 8 total listings for C-3PO where as every single other mugg has at least 30 listings.

    [Reply]

  70. To Mightymuggvertigo
    I can find C-3PO everywhere. The ones i can’t find are stormtrooper and Boba. Every store I go to they always have a 3PO ,must be the area of the country your in. Sorry.

    [Reply]

  71. Every store around here is chalked full of Emperors and Leias. Looks like i’ll be taking a road trip in the near future. Seeing as i’m in the midwest, north western IL, anyone have an idea of what direction would be the most prosperous? North, East, South, or West?

    [Reply]

  72. I’m in the Midwest in the KCMO area.

    [Reply]

  73. I agree with Linsay. C3PO is rare. I got mine on Walmart.com awhile back. I think I saw C3PO at Target once. I’m in NH/MA area. Stores up here are overloaded with Lando and Leia. I have noticed Venom and Clone Commander Cody are getting harder to find in stores.

    I just put my Darth Maul mugg next to my Mola Ram mugg on my bookcase. They look good next to each other. I just love their paint jobs. Darth Maul’s eyes are painted so well.

    [Reply]

  74. mmm well i just found another fett at TRU. Figured for $10 how could i not ;)

    [Reply]

  75. Someone on ebay had both of the Vaders and a picture of them side by side, so the one with the single eye does seem to exist. But this is the only one I have ever seen. If it were being sold by itself I would have purchased but he was selling it with an entire star wars collection that I already have. Hopefully I may see another someday…

    The bidding has already ended for the item but the picture of the Vader’s side by side is still there….

  76. is anybody seeing the stormtrooper or boba in any stores because those are the only two i still need, and I can’t seem to find them in any stores I go to.

    [Reply]

  77. Hey guys, Hasbrotoyshop.com has the black and white blank muggs in stock, however, seems they wont start shipping for a few weeks.

    Also, while browsing on Ebay, it seems the Anakin Star Wars wave is out (at least in Hong Kong anyways) so keep an eye out =)

    [Reply]

  78. There are a bunch of Muggs available (all thee of the Indy wave 1, several SW and Marvel) on the TRU website right now and a coupon for $5 off any $25 purchase. Happy Mugg hunting everyone.

    [Reply]

  79. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pop off the SW figs helmets (DV, Fetts, Clones) and there would be faces under there? (guess they might look small and weird though, huh)

    [Reply]

  80. Monica - can you post the TRU website url please?

    [Reply]

  81. I picked up one of the new boba’s yesterday at TRU…there is a noticeable difference in the head material. it is no longer the softer, almost squishy material. its hard plastic. dont know why they would do this…the new indy heads are the same as the old star wars heads…so its not like they just are not doing it that way at all anymore. hope they are only doing this because its the re-release of the first wave.

    [Reply]

  82. Sure,

    http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3100132

    Type Mighty Muggs under the search and they will all pop up.

  83. I love these awesome figures! My collection is Original Trilogy Star Wars and Indy. I’ve got 11 Star Wars (plus I ordered the PX Ackbar/Shadow Trooper) and all 3 Indy Wave 1 (plus pre-ordered Fertility Idol from SDCC on Ebay). I’m really excited about the Monkey Man, Henry Jones Sr., Toht, and White Tux Indy. Hopefully, they’ll make Marion (with frying pan), Sallah, Marcus, Short Round, Willie (lounge singer attire), Lao Che (with antidote vial), bald German Mechanic (from the Flying Wing fight scene), Thugee guard, Temple of Doom Indy (ripped sleeve with Sankara stone and machete), Professor Jones (in business suit/glasses), and maybe if I’m really lucky Ilsa (with Grail Diary).

    [Reply]

  84. Only a few more days till I add 4 awesome SDCC Exclusives to my collection! Wa-hoo! =)
