They need to make Mad Men Mighty Muggs. It's a no-brainer.

attachable cigarettes included

[optimus187prime]

All this talk has made me wonder: Do you think an artist would allow you to commission him/her to do a mugg ?

Because I would get a blank and give it a try.

[esophagus]

This guys does some awesome custom muggs. He takes commisions, but I'm guessing they're probably pricey.

True but I would imagine if the artist didnt think they could accomplish the task they wouldnt talk your $$$.

At least I hope. Greg Land would then just tape a picture of Jess Alba on it.

The best custom Mugg I've seen is this shiny Iron Suit Spider-Man (http://cgi.ebay.com/CUSTOM-Iron-Spiderman-Mighty-Muggs-Spider-Man_W0QQitemZ230284768030). Awesome.

Id say for one as rare as Parker it is worth it. The series one Venom was going for over $30 not too long ago, and that is a normal release.

Wow there is one going for over $40 + $6.50 shipping with 4 hours left, hold on to your Venom if you have one. Looks like that is the hot figure out of the first set.

that's a sweet blog. i'll keep my eye on it

[darron]

I had never seen/heard of these Mighty Muggs before today. Maybe once, but I thought they were talking about coffe mugs.... whoops.

There are some pretty cool ones. Thor is on my list. I might get Ult. Cap when that comes out. Possibly Lando 'cause that sweet eyebrow action. But other than that, I'm not big into Star Wars or Transformers, or even GI Joe. All before my time, I guess.

Personally, I wanna see a Nick Fury mugg, cigar included. That might just be too cool for words.

Also, although already mentioned, Daredevil would be pretty sweet.

Oooh, Nova! I think I'd get a Nova, or a Rocket Racoon mugg. Possibilities are endlees, no?

Star Wars and Transformers are just eternal though. So that IS strange and weird and unethical and sort of unacceptable.

Now, if he were to mess with say, the Thundercats or the ninja turtles, he's a pariah and I'll ignore him as I pass him in the street. Dead to me. But that isn't possible. Is it, Darron?

You kids and your dragon rangers, what the fuck is a dragon ranger?

Last time I saw a Power Rangers episode I think they added Tommy? The White/Green ranger dude?

[owlboy]

He was Green then White then the Red Turbo/Zeo Ranger and they brought him back recently as the Black Dino Ranger and mentor to a whole new group.

That took way too much nerd energy to remember.

I was actually contemplating looking for a Soundwave the other day. Decided against it when I realized it wasn't Soundwave I wanted, I want the cassettes!

I loved those Transformer cassettes more then most of my toys. I had all the Dinosaur ones and I would pose them along my bookcase. Damn, what I wouldn't give to find a set of those!

[gobo]

I think I still have my old Soundwave and MAYBE Ravage. I'd have to go poke around in my parents attic.

Megatron is really hard to find because he was made pretty filmsily. He broke extremely easily and pretty much everyone I knew who had one had theirs break in one way or other.

At some point I'll pick up the entire Masterpiece Transformers collection.

Also: The dinobots were awesome, I had all of them but Grimlock.

[kahunablair]

I was always bitter towards the Gun version of Megatron. My mom had one of those strict no gun policies. Even though I was a spoiled little bastard and got pretty much every toy my little ass wanted, I always felt bitter for not having that gun!

I had really lame family members...no MASK or Dino-Riders or even, ugh, Go-Bots.....just robots that tranform inanimate, uncool pieces of earth.

I have a bunch of MASK toys in the basement, I've got to clean up a bit before taking a picture though.

There were two Rock things... one was Rock Lords which was a Go Bots spinoff, there was another one... I can't remember what it was though but it wasn't robots turning into rocks.

I remember the toys were just normal dudes with like rock plates on arms/legs/back of head so you'd just bend them at the waste and neck so the plates came together.

I owned more action figures than one could imagine as a child. I still have boxes of them. My grandfather is an auctioneer, so when I was younger he would take any action figures he found at the auctions, and give me a big box of them for my birthday. I always loved it. I had a bit of everything. I was the only one on my block who owned the Batcave, the Batplane, the Batmobile, and more Batman figures than I could ever use at once.

All this He-Man talk is making my wallet itch... I've got to "finish" my MASK collection first though, it's been a few years since I've bought any though.

You could stick him next to your recliner, keep the remotes in his hands, put a coaster and cool beverage on his head, and keep your rolled up newspaper in two doohickeys coming off the side of his helmet. It would be brilliant!

Toys for kids only? Only thing exclusive to kids should be Trix and diapers. Probably my favorite toy is my Starman action figure. Won it on e-bay a couple a years ago and he is a gem to look at.

No you can't, how will I put on little shows with my Mighty Muggs if they're in a box?

Plus I don't buy anything with the thought of reselling it later on, if I can, great, but I buy things so I can enjoy them right now.

Take it out of the box. Throw out the box or recycle it.

Are you frowning because you want it out of the box or because it's out of the box?

I was in target yesterday and just thought i would check to see if they had any mighty mugs and they had 1 silver surfer and 1 galactus. i figured get both, master and herald.

the gf was kind of confused as to why but she thought they were cute.

Lucky, I havent seen them locally yet.

are they hard to find?

the target had 7 on one little shelf. 2 wolverines, 3 human torches, 1 silver surfer, and 1 galactus. i literally almost passed them by because they were all lined up right behind each other.

Well right now they probably are. Galactus, SS and Human Torch are both of the newest 'series' so once they start getting distributed they will be everywhere. Wolverine is from series one so once they are all bought up they will be hard to find.

[hank41]

im gonna check my local Target for them later today

Just got back from Orlando, FL and I got a sweet Punisher bobble head. It is very similar to a mighty mugg. The base has 'psycho' on it. There was also a Cap, Spidey, and Wolvie.

Does anyone buy these action figures ?

Why is this Wave 8 going to suck so bad.

DCUC Wave 8 line that is due to hit stores sometime in mid-spring 2009. It looks like we are going to have……

Hawkgirl
Gentleman Ghost
Dr Fate (with a chase classic version)
Parademon (both Red and Yellow versions split 50/50!)
Mr. Terrific
Vigilante
Commander Steel

The bonus figure is a 10 inches…… GIGANTA !!!!!.

I reserved a Vision Mighty Mugg for next week.

That's coming here soon, but I want the Galactus one!

No real interest in the heroes, I find it hysterical having the megalomaniacs or giant villains in little cute bodies though.

Galactus is pretty cool. Hulk is still the funniest one.

[optimus187prime]

Santa has brought me the Silver Surfer, and the Red Skull. Red Skull is so awesome looking.

I also bought myself Ultimate Captain America.

[sarahg42]

I am a big time collector... mostly Star Wars. I have a decent DC figure collection as well. I also have some film (mostly horror) and television based figures. I don't keep them in the packages. I don't collect for value -- purely for joy. Plus I like to play with them. :D

Here is a pic of my Star Wars collection (well it is almost two years old so it has expanded some since then - heh).

No, and there never will be. Well, unless you get the custom ones mentioned earlier in the thread.

EDIT: Damn me going up to get a drink. Too late.

[gabeja]

Thanks so much guys, that rorshach pic is really cool, hope I can find one.

[paper]

Gonna tell you right now. From an aesthetic level, if you're only going to buy one Mighty Mugg this year...make it Vision.

I like to keep three on my desk at a given time and put them in rotation. Right now it's Vision, Hulk, and original silver suit Iron Man. I think Vision is the best looking design in the bunch.

[gobo]

I think Doom has a great design. Galactus is rad also.

[optimus187prime]

I favor the Red Skull and Galactus. I really want a Punisher Mugg, but outside of ebay I cant seem to track one down. Any of you guys gonna go for the Joe Muggs? I am eyeing up Cobra Commander, Storm Shandow and Snake Eyes, maybe Destro.

[gobo]

I'm just waiting for the Transformers ones. CC and Destro are the only Joe ones I'd be tempted to get.

I like the villains more, they just have that extra sheen of ridiculousness when you think of a world devourer in a 7 inch tall, big headed, cute body.

I feel the same way. Typically with these muggs the villans are my favs, its fun to just look at them and say "awww, your not so bad".

My shop already has the Joe Muggs. At least Cobra Commander. Not really a Joes fan, and I think I'm retired from Mugg collecting unless something like Thundercats gets announced.

Just got my newest mighty mugg, I need to make a speech bubble for him saying, "It's a Tarp!" http://phodroid.com/pc884d

[hometeam790]

The new DCU's have come out, I'm not sure if these are the Wal-Mart exclusives or not, but that's where I got Mr. Miracle. This one is the Build-A-Kalibak series. I think this'll be the first where I get all of the figures in the set. Killer Moth is the only one I don't really care to have, but at that point, may as well get him to finish off Kalibak. I can't wait until the Adam Strange/Starfire 2 pack goes on sale. I'm definitely getting that one as well. Hopefully they'll have an Animal Man one coming soon to complete the 52 trifecta.

All 4 Wave 1 Transformer Mighty Muggs: Acquired!

Bringing my total Mugg count to 12

[brandeezy]

The upcoming Spider-Man previewed at NYCC is sweet! Two words: removable mask!

[elwood]

Much as I still love cool toys and such, I don't really collect any.

However, a few days ago I bought my first two Mighty Muggs (Doctor Doom and The Thing) after having geeked out over how cool they were for quite a while. They look very nice on my shelf.

If I do decide to start collecting them, I think I'll stick with the Marvel ones ('cept for Chewie, Chewie looks way too cool to pass up).

[decepticon]

I used to collect action figures, but after a short period of purchasing the Marvel Legends, DC Direct figures, and a slew of Star Wars figures, I simply stopped when I realized I didn't have the room for them anymore. Honestly, that's the reason I've slowed way down buying much of anything in that vein (like DVD's, video games, books, CD's) because I don't have room for that anymore, and have stopped buying action figures all together. If anything, I may just buy one really kick ass statue here and there for display on one of my shelves, but I'm pretty much done with the Toys R' Us runs :)

On the plus side, I got a nice chunk of cash last summer selling off a lot of my collected toys, DVD's, books, CD's, comics, etc. that I collected throughout the years, yet knew I wouldn't miss once they're gone, and now I save a good chunk of money each month by only buying the DVD's I really know I need on my shelf, or video games I'll play for more than 4 hours.

In a way, having a small home is the best way I've found for controlling my collector's mentality. At the end of the day, I even prefer seeing my shelves looking a lot leaner, but knowing there is a lot less crap on them then there was even a year ago :P

[gabeja]

Wow, I really, really, really want that Rorshach action figure. REALLY

[gabeja]

Just bought a cool silver age Jimmy olson figure and a 52 animal man for 5 bucks each. Yay!

[optimus187prime]

Bad news for the muggers out there. The GI Joe and Transformers lines are being cancelled after their second waves come out.

[hometeam790]

They're going Toys R Us exclusive starting in the fall. Don't know why those two have been cancelled though. That stinks.
