Fo Shizzle Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 or the monster thing that Human Torch is looking at? Are you talking about this pic? http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.php?mod...800&start=0 The directly to the right but behing Human Torch kinda looks like it may the Prototype for the sorcerer guy that rips peoples' hearts out from Temple of Doom Quote
battlecat Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah, you can see him better in this one: http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.php?mod...00&start=20 but yeah he's a custom too, judging from the "toms" part of the sign that's visible... For a minute I thought they might be starting an H.P. Lovecraft line or something I have no talent for customs, but I would've liked one of those squid guys! Too bad... Quote
pickle Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 For a minute I thought they might be starting an H.P. Lovecraft line or something The same thing crossed my mind. It would have been nice to see Hasbro try a brnd new idea (line) in the Muggs style. Oh well, heres hoping they will be more then customs. Quote
Trekker 42 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I don't grt it. It's the Mighty Muggs section but 15 of 21 are of Spider-Man figures. What the hell. And I'm not going t get Galactus until I see how he looks with a minimate Silver Surfer or Reed Richards. Quote
karamazov80 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Damn that Punisher looks fine! I'll have to get him and Galactus. . .and then, there are these: http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/conven...th-images-7509/ Lord give me the strength to not buy these things. . . Quote
battlecat Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 If you go look at the SDCC gallery at www.action-figure.com, and click on the Indiana Jones idol photo (I'd go back and find the link to post, but my ancient computer's taking forever to load certain sites today) you can see part of the back of the Optimus box, with Bumblebee... Now I'm not saying you *should* go look -- the best thing I can say about him is that he makes me like the Optimus Mugg a lot more... Quote

Indy idol with back of prime box The Ironman movie mug is cool and shiny looks much better then the original pics I've seen Quote
Dan Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I want that Iron Man Movie Mugg so bad. Where can you buy it from? Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 it is a sdcc exclusive upto now I havent been able to find any preorder info for it Quote
link 46 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) I want that Iron Man Movie Mugg so bad. Where can you buy it from? when i went last year they had a booth with the exclusives like for that it was like around the center Edited July 25, 2008 by link 46 Quote

Where can you buy it from? when i went last year they had a booth with the exclusives like for that it was like around the center Thanks but I'm not going to the convention. I'm stuck here in Britland. I was hoping for an online retailer. Hopefully they'll be one in a few weeks. Quote
Mighty Mugged Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Anyone else seen muggs at their local walmart on clearance? I just got Jango Fett, Chewie, and Lando for 7.00 each. They had the emporer, mace windu, and some marvel ones as well. Quote
battlecat Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Thanks MiniFiend. Here's a better photo of the back of the Optimus box, showing all of TF wave 1: http://sdcc08.asmzine.com/gallery/hasbro/m...s/IMG_1917.html I still think that Bumblebee's pretty bad, but the Soundwave is cool. That Iron Man does look awesome (the bright convention lights really sell it too!)... I hope there's enough left over for toy websites to pick them up, it's one of the few bigger exclusives I haven't seen up for preorder either. Quote
ARE-JAY Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) A sneak peek for 2009! Not really impressed by that Cap but the other 3 look fantastic. Really like that they went for an additional collar piece for Vision and the more Iron Man armors, the better! And they found another use for Yoda's head lol Update: Found this pic of some new Star Wars muggs coming. New Versions of Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Han Solo, with new characters like Plo Koon, Tarkin, and what looks to be another Sith (don't know the character lol) Edited July 26, 2008 by ARE-JAY Quote
bruticus Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Talking of Transformers Mighty Muggs, found this on my travels... Custom made but totally works with the MM body *nods* Quote
ARE-JAY Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I had seen those customs on ebay and was tempted to bid but these customizers want outrageous amounts, quite ridiculous. Plus, with official ones coming, no need =) Quote
bruticus Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I had seen those customs on ebay and was tempted to bid but these customizers want outrageous amounts, quite ridiculous. Plus, with official ones coming, no need =) See, i sort of agree and don't...you're paying for a custom figure, a (possibly) one off figure that nobody else has and that someone has spent time and money to make and poured their energy into, much like a lot of the customisers here... That to me makes it special although obviously there is a limit (person to person obviously) on how much you spend to get that figure... And have TF: Animated MM's been announced ? Also found a custom Bumblebee & Soundwave set of Munnys Quote
Mighty Mugged Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Update: Found this pic of some new Star Wars muggs coming. New Versions of Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Han Solo, with new characters like Plo Koon, Tarkin, and what looks to be another Sith (don't know the character lol) that other sith character is Darth Revan from the Star Wars "Knights Of The Old Republic" video game. Edited July 26, 2008 by Mighty Mugged Quote
Fo Shizzle Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I needs to get me a Soundwave.... and no more I swear....okay maybe one or two more.....but only if they are supremely badass and that's it... for real this time, these things are getting out of control! Quote
karamazov80 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 that other sith character is Darth Revan from the KOTOR video game. KOTOR. . .sounds like a barbarian warrior of some kind. "KOTOR is not pleased!" goes on killing frenzy with giant battle axe. Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Nice finds on new pics. The marvel wave is great and I like they are also going into the ultimate universe. I agree that the other Transformer Muggs look a little weak next to Prime, Megatron needs his long barrel on his arm, Bumblebee is just mehh and I thought soundwave had a funny shaped head so that doesn't seem to translate in the picture. Jigsaw & Punisher rumoured to be TRU exclusive. Edited July 26, 2008 by MiniFiend UK Quote
Fo Shizzle Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I think I would get nightmares seeing that Jigsaw looking at me from my shelf every night..... Quote

ARE-JAY Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 High 5 MiniFiend UK! I had not seen that Jigsaw- he looks awesome! Did they put out any others or just that Jigsaw? Quote
