Yea, I've pretty much accepted that.
Who wants to start a Mighty Muggs support group?

Oh I need one. I'm currently watching about 15 Grees on eBay.
Update: I just caved and bought one...came to about $20.

While I may hit up Target and Wal*Mart once they open for business again (one Wal*Mart I go to, the one I most recently frequent, is still closed because of Hurricane Ike, as is the Target), my next pickup should be a custom MMA UFC Mugg of Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, the dude in my sig.
It's a lofty goal, since I've requested that he be painted wearing an official "Sinister" brand hoodie and the trunks he was wearing at UFC 77, complete with all the logo's. But I trust Fish to do it correctly (see his topic on the Custom board for why) and I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like.

I'm kind of considering trying to make a custom one of these, just not sure yet who I'd want to make.
Edit - Went back for Captain America and Spidey today, but Captain was gone. I wanted him most, but I guess that's what I get for passing so many times. I went to Wal-Mart then looking for more, and found Thor, so I picked him up.
A new collection is born. If I have a decent check this week, I may order the Movie Iron Man.

I made a Target and TRU run today and picked up Han Solo, Chewbacca, Human Torch, Wolverine, and Galactus.
Sheer awesomeness all around, per usual. Especially with Wolverine, Chewie, and Galactus. Galactus has a MASSSSSSIVE head.

Wow, they're releasing these Muggs fast. I didn't even know the Galactus series was out yet.

I just got a Darth Maul and a Wolverine, I like the Maul looks really cool and the sabers a nice touch.

My collection stands at Spidey/Thor/Captain America. I don't think I'll be getting any from Star Wars or Indy. I really want the movie style Ironman though.

Myself, I'm a fan of Marvel and Star Wars with varying levels of fandom throughout the years, so I usually try to nab whatever they have if I've got the money.
TRU, unfortunately, still had the same Marvel Muggs as last time I checked...like 20 or so Hulk Muggs. Also, I felt pretty dumb about not finding the Star Wars section of my local TRU last time I went Mugg shopping...considering that they had a gigantic, almost floor-to-ceiling display within a couple of feet of the entrance.

Unless I can find Venom in stores, yea right, I think Hulk may be my next pick-up. I already have 2 Avengers, and plan to eventually nab the movie ironman, so it's almost fitting.
Still want to customize one, but not sure yet who I'd like to make. I kind of wish Captain America's wings were a little bit bigger. I also would like for them to be kind of 3D, like Thor's.

If you wanted to start small and easy, you could always customize Cap into USAgent.
That said, if anybody comes across Galactus while Mugg shopping, I say buy him now. The combination of killer painting, cute grimace, and ginormous head has made him one of my definite favorites, right up there with Black Symbiote Spidey (which was my first pickup).
Also, I'll post pics of the Anderson Silva Mugg when it's completed. The guy I've got customizing it is working on a custom title belt, but the Mugg itself is done. And I must say...for a longtime UFC fan and a rabid Anderson Silva mark, it rocks hard.

I wouldn't necessarily need to start "small and easy," I've been customizing wrestling figures for years. I'm kind of tempted to do someone like Gambit, Cyclops, or Colossus.

I don't know about the USA but in the UK its the Star Wars line that will end up killing the Mighty Muggs range I mean there warming shelfs everywhere that sells them. Apart from specialist shops no where sells the Marvel ones.

My SDCC exclusive gree came today and boy does he look great. I wish I could give the buyer more than 1 positive feedback. The box is in amazing condition...not one little crease or dent anywhere. I'm gonna hit up Wal-Mart now and see if I can get me Surfer or Galactus!

Seemingly Marvel Wave 5.
