Confession: I actually like the Mighty Muggs

[icruise]

That's kind of the point.

They're just paint.

Well, plastic and paint.

I found Darth Revan! (Thanks for the offer though, Neil )

I admit : fantastics !!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajajajajaja i love it :chew:chew

I found the Snowtrooper, Teebo , Shocktrooper, and Bossk (my favorite) but left Biggs. Also the Muggs are still on sale for $8.99. They also had a 3PO & a Commander Cody with the "Only at Target" sticker on them, huh weird.

Picked up Captain Rex today with the Target sticker...No luck with the rest though...

I'm really frustrated at this wave of Target exclusives. I've already been to the only Target in the area several times looking for them but no luck yet. The only other option is ebay (and paying at least double) since Target doesn't even carry them on its web site.

I'm in the same boat, but I have two targets to go to. I want Bossk, Teebo and Cody. Gonna hold out until March, but ebay may be the answer unfortunately on these.

You want me to pick em' up if I see them? Cost plus shipping of course.

 

[icruise]

That would be great. I'm looking for Bossk, the Snow Trooper, Biggs, and Teebo (don't really need the shocktrooper). Is that all of the Target exclusives?

 

[Amanaman]

Apparently the heads are now made of plastic and not vinyl. Haven't opened Bossk yet, but he indeed has a mold line running from the side of his head.

 

[icruise]

Where is the mold line? The side of the head? I think they've been that way for a while. The last wave with Hoth Han had it as well. It's not very noticeable, although it is a little disappointing.

That I know of, but Obi-Wan, Wicket, and a Gammorean Guard are shown on the back. No Shocktrooper? He sure is awesome. And they have had plastic heads for awhile now, I prefer the vinyl heads. I'll let you know what I find icruise.

 

[dr_teng]

It doesn't really matter to me either way. The Vinyl ones feel a little bit nicer, but I don't usually move them around. A few of the earlier waves had some plastic heads too.

The good news for Star Wars Might Muggs fans is that there's quite a bit of stuff coming out, including these (Hoth Luke, Gammorean Guard, Old Ben, and Biker Scout). I have to have all of these. The bad news is that they are shared online exclusives, and won't be available in normal stores.

In related news, after several more fruitless trips to Target, I decided to bite the bullet and get their damn exclusive wave on ebay. It actually wasn't that much more than getting them in the store, but I had to buy a full case, which included a few figures I didn't need. If anyone wants Commander Rex, C-3PO, Commander Cody, or the Shock Trooper mint in box, let me know. I'll sell them to you for retail ($10.99 apiece) + actual shipping.

According to the hasbro presentation at Toy Fair all Muggs will become toyrus exclusives.

 

[icruise]

That doesn't bode too well for the future of the line.

 

[Amanaman]

A bad move. I picked up my Muggs at Target out of convenience, when buying other things, and usually on clearance.

 

[icruise]

Of course if they regularly go on clearance, that could be one reason why they decided to narrow down the distribution channels. (I personally haven't seen any Muggs on clearance at our Target, though).

I went around to three different stores today: Target, Toys "R" Us, and Wal*Mart only to find the same ones in the Marvel and SW sections.

Star Wars they only had: Hoth Han, The Emperor, Tarkin, or Asajj Ventress.

Marvel they only had: Wolverine, Iron Man, and The Thing.

Obviously none of the ones I'm looking for. But it sure is frustrating to hit up three different stores around town only to find the same ones crowding the shelves. But I did score a Hulk & Doom today online for $12 (together) And Cobra and Snake Eyes for about $24.
