Usually $10-$11.

Well I went to the 'ghetto' Wal-Mart by me (there's 3, two nice ones and one not so nice one which I usually avoid) and I find the piece I've been looking for FOREVER...General EFFIN Grievous! I also checked out my local K-Mart. They had Doc Ock, Thor, and Commander Cody...BUT...they are $13 there, so I passed. I really wanted Cody, but I know he'll be in Target, TRU, or Wal-Mart for $10.

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. It was just a suggestion, bro. I'm always for "small and easy" when making a transition. "Practice makes perfect", for me. Personally speaking, I'd rather start off slow and easy and make a good one than set lofty expectations and end up frustrated and disappointed. Even if you've been customizing figures for years, there's gonna be at least a small "lost in translation" problem when shifting from detailed figures to something that relies mostly on cuteness and caricature. Seemingly Marvel Wave 5. That looks like a solid line. I'm not exactly sold on the Skrull, but I'd definitely pick up New-Age Cap, Old-School Iron Man, and Vision.

Yea, I know what you mean. I'm just kind of a go big or go home type. I'm pretty good at drawing cartoony things too, so I'll be fine. I just need to decide who to make.
While I like the line, I just wish we weren't seeing different versions of Cap and Ironman. There are a ton of characters the can choose from. Skrull looks like a recycled Yoda head, which isn't bad. Vision is pretty awesome.
I just can't wait for the TRU exclusive Punisher.

More power to ya, bro. Good luck, I hope it turns out great. Whenever you do decide who to do, be sure to post pics when you're done.
Also, I'm kinda-sorta o.k. with different character versions, since Cap and Iron Man seem like good sellers. Plus, they're done right and look very cool.
That said, I'm gonna have to hunt Punisher down, he looks awesome. Hopefully my TRU will actually restock their Marvel Muggs.

I could see them coming out early. So far almost all of these have been spotted in stores before their supposed release dates. My current most anticipated is the GI Joe set.

My own collection stands at about 22, right now I've got five on my desk and the other 17 atop a big drawer. They're all out of package. I've also saved all the boxes, mostly because I think they're just as cutesy as the Muggs themselves, and currently they're in a 4x3 pattern next to my drawer. Also, here are some pics of the Anderson Silva Mugg! I love it to death, can't wait 'till it's mine.

Wow, and here I only have 13, although I pass up on a lot of them. Villains are my priority. I have a feeling ones like Skywalker, Han, Hulk, Thing, etc may find themselves in a clearance bin at some point.

I bought 12 at once and havent bought any since, I have to go hunting and buy like 20 more asap. I don't think I can take them out of the boxes, they're so ing cute but look way too childish imo loose.

Very nice customs, awesome work.
To me, I can't help but open basically all my figure purchases. The "owner's high" I get of something being mine all mine is just too good to pass up.
While I've evolved passed the stage where I'd frantically rip the packaging to shreds just to feel a sense of empowerment, I still keep all of my stuff loose. It's just fun to mess around with 'em.

Lmao, its bad when your mom calls you from target asking if you need anything, and you make her buy you 7 muggs over the phone. and also have her check the condition of the boxes. what have I turned into, lmao.
