The heart is definitely cool, but I love the tribal headpiece too. Plus the expression. Mola Ram is definitely one of the best Indy muggs.

I just have Darth Vader, but I'm looking forward to getting Venom and Black Suit Spider-Man.

My friend bought me Mace Windu today. I love how people think it's so cute a 23 year old tattooed alcoholic collects vinyl action figures.

I'm the same way. People always give me wierd glances at the Wal*Mart toy section when they see a large, completely bald man with glasses looking at vinyl figures and marking out at finding one I haven't seen before and that I immediately fall in love with, uttering phrases such as "Omigosh! Look at how cute he is!" and "I must have him!"
Something about the Muggs brings out the child in me, I guess. They're affordable, really well done, and they're just so super-cute. Can't get enough of 'em, even if I do get some strange glances.

They need to make horror ones. I so agree!

The thing about Mace is that he looks even cuter because he's got that PO'd expression.
Even the villains have a level of cuteness to them, even though people like Darth Maul and Doc Ock look downright ugly.

I think after looking at these threads I want to start collecting these things, I en love them. I haven't collected really in the past few years, think getting these will be a nice change. A lot of them I won't be able to get right? So ebays probally my next best place.

You may want to shop around, man. You never know what you may find.
I've got 3 Wal*Marts, a Target, and a Toys R Us in my general area, some being farther out than the others.
When I really feel like "exploring", I hit up at least two shops just to see what they have.
More often than not, the quantity and availability of Muggs can vary drastically from store to store. At one Wal*Mart there's virtually no Marvel Muggs, with only a handful of Star Wars Muggs. At the Target there was a decent quantity of both. At the other Wal*Mart I only spotted a Dr. Doom (which I bought), but the Star Wars Muggs were literally overflowing their section.
So don't go to Ebay until you've exhausted all the retail stores in your general vicinity, IMO. You never know what you just might find.

No doubt no doubt, "the thrill of the hunt" is about 100 times better than Ebay when you find that fig you were looking for, or just a cool fig you didn't expect to see.
Speaking of which, I nabbed Lando and Hulk today. They sold out of Mace! That sucked some of the fun out of it. I would've bought Mace as well. They also had Doc Ock, Ghost Rider, and Cairo Swordsman, but I already have them.
Both Lando and Hulk are very, very cool. Can't wait to go "hunting" again, probably in the next couple of days.

These things rule but they need to make some better characters. I would kill for some horror ones such as Jason and Freddy.

Well my first day of hunting for Muggs turned out pretty good. I bought 11! lmao, I would have bought like 4 more but I didn't expect to spend that much so i ran out of cash.
I bought,
Mola Ram Indiana Doc Ock Capt. America Hulk Chewie Han Obi Lando Maul Gen. Grievous
One that I passed on that pissed me off was Thing. The last 2 they had the boxes were ripped and I want to keep Muggs MIB.
Well, I'd say a good day of hunting, can't wait to find more. I'm looking to buy everyone made to date and order the comic-con ones.

That's a very swank haul, I'm a bit envious. I would've loved to spot Chewie, Han, and Capt. America at the two places I hit up today. But alas, 'twas not to be!
I hit up TRU and Target today and they didn't have anything of value. NADA. In fact, TRU's Marvel Muggs were just 20 Hulk Muggs! I couldn't even find their Star Wars section, and I had all their Indy Muggs (Cairo Swordsman, Mola Ram, Indy himself). No luck with Target either: I spotted some Obi-Wan's and a General Grievous, but I have 'em.
I'm gonna go hunting at another Wal*Mart to see if I can pick up anything.
I did get my custom Dr. Who Mighty Mugg recently, however. Even though I bought it as a present to my sister, I've got until December until I physically have to give it to her, so I'm gonna display it loose and enjoy its awesomeness until the start of December, where I'll pack it and wrap it. I'll have to hide it every once in a while when she comes home (she lives a few cities away in a dorm), but other than that I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
F1sh is easily the best Mugg customizer I've ever seen. Some other customs I've seen come close, but most of his stuff just blows everything else right out of the water.
