Has anyone purchased a custom mugg from Fishcustoms? I've purchased two, actually. I've got a custom Dr. Who Mugg that I gave as a birthday present to my sister, and I have a custom Anderson Silva Mugg that has been my #1 favorite Mugg since the moment I got him. You can view both in his topic on the Customs board, on his website, and the Anderson Silva is on the UFC: Figure Talk board if you do a bit of digging. F1SH has fair prices and is a good guy to deal with. I got into his topic because I had never seen custom Muggs before, and he's one of the reasons why I have so many Muggs now. If you're willing to take the time and drop the change, F1SH is always willing to work with you and make sure that you get exactly what you want. Not just because he's a good businessman, but because he's a good artist as well. I raised a small nitpicking complaint about the ".com" not being on the back of Silva's trunks (it should have read "spidersilva.com" and just read "spidersilva"), and in the end, despite having tried several times before and not being able to squeeze it in, he went back once again and managed to get it in there. Not just because I asked him to, and definitely not because he felt I was entitled to some special treatment for being a friend, but because it bugged him that the custom wasn't really "complete" without the ".com". F1SH gets an A+ from me, every time. If you work with him, he'll work with you. He's never once given off a "holier than thou, you get what I give you and you like it" vibe that some other customizers give us. He's a down-to-earth guy, but is seriously talented. If you do want a custom Mugg, definitely get it from F1SH. Thanks PdW2kX for the input. I really appreciate it.

No problem, man, I'm here to help. Speaking of help, for those still deciding on the GI Joe Muggs, or for those that simply want to read a review, I've written up a review of the first series of GI Joe Mighty Muggs. You can read it here. Here are some pics.

Apparently from what I've read on the Marvel website, the reason we have seen 2 different Jean Grey figures for the next Muggs Series is because there are 2 variations, one Jean Grey, the other is supposed to be Phoenix. So there will be a variant in the next series.

Thanks for the review. I've got Cobra Commander and Storm Shadow on the way from Ebay No problem, my friend. I'm glad you liked the review. I never thought I'd get into Muggs period, let alone care enough about them to want to write a review, but here we are and there it is. It's a testament to how seriously Hasbro is taking this supposedly kid-geared line that I've never seen a Mugg I didn't like. Now, here are today's Mighty Muggs pickups. I know Vader's packaging is messed up, but he was the only one there and I've been wanting a Darth Vader for a really long time.

I picked up Optimus Prime and Megatron today at TRU. They have proto pics of Starscream and Gridlock on the back. I've never heard of these two in the MM line before, are they exclusives?

So there will be a variant in the next series. That sounds plausible, but confusing. Hasbro has already given us two-sided faces with Darth Vader (the one I just bought, in fact), and removable hair with Thor. Having Jean Grey have one side Phoenix, one side Grey, with removable hair so you can alternate between the two sounds like a much more cost-effective measure. I'm not saying I wouldn't like variants in Muggs, I'd love them if they were done right, I'm just saying that having a Dark Phoenix variant instead of just having a two-sided head and removable hair seems a bit weird if that's what ends up happening.

That may be exactly what they're doing. It didnt really state it too clearly. I didnt even know there was a Darth vader with 2 sides and I also didnt know Thor's hair is removable since I keep all of my muggs in the box.

Actually, Darth Vader is one of the best Muggs they've ever produced, IMO, largely because of the two faces, plus a removable hand. It's kinda like getting two figures for the price of one. I'm actually a big fan of this gimmick, and would love it if more "two faced" characters came out. Where the did that Biggs come from? I hate these exclusives. I got it from Target, bro. And I feel you on the Exclusives...it's really tough to keep track of who's coming out if the line-up keeps varying from store to store. Does anyone out there have a list of all the Muggs that have been made, preferably one that details which Series or Sets are exclusive to which stores? I can't be the only one that would seriously appreciate and sorely needs such a list.
