I think these are kind of neat. If Hasbro made a Snake Eyes v2 I'd probably bite. Anyone else?

id probably pick 'em up if they were made, but dont think id have em on my wish list of things to be made.

I think GI Joe might Muggs would be a complete and utter failure...maybe I could see them being sold as a specality item...but no way do I think they'd make it in mass market

If it's not a 3 3/4" action figure or related product...the fan market diminishes extremely fast.

in general I'm not a big fan of anything like them...same goes for those cubey blocky mini mate things...Glactic Hero's type thing might work...but again I know I'm not gonna be buying.

Whoops. Somehow I put this in the wrong topic. I meant to drop it in general convo.

Nova: It's weird to see them at Target. They make more sense at comic stores or as a specialty item. I think you're right that a full line of GI Joe themed muggs would probably shelf-warm pretty horribly at the big guys.

I can barely believe the SW and Marvel Muggs are selling. Joe ones would die faster than TF Titanium.

That is one Joe product I'd stay away from as well. I don't like the Mighty Muggs in general. :-(

I have a hard time that people buy them at all. They are just a goofy looking version of the same characters that have been made in various forms time and time again. I thought the Galactic Heroes line was cool because they were made for young children but they had a style to them that collectors would want. Mighty Muggs are just big, round objects with paint on them to make the characters. But there is a lot of stupid stuff out there that is usually reserved for specialty places such as Entertainment Earth. I never saw them going past a place like that. How retail stores were convinced to carry these things I will never understand.

I was bought the Fett one as a gift. and I have to say that I enjoy it! At first my thoughts were "WTF IS THIS CRAP?" .

Then I opened it... and just kinda enjoyed it!

It blends well into my "Fett-Case".

Mighty Muggs...no. However, if they ever want to provide me with the opportunity to buy a Cobra Commander bobble-head, I'd be all for that.
