What do you think of Transformers Mighty Muggs?

[Grievous]

So...I went back to Toys'R'Us today and picked up the Cobra Commander
& Destro Mighty Muggs.

They only cost me $15.00 each like with Snakes Eyes...so why not?
Destro looks awesome...light just bounces off his head...


Hopefully they will end up reducing the Transformers Mighty Muggs...
That would be sweet...

I've seen these from time to time in stores. I have no idea what they are.
Statues maybe, though I'm told they are like plush toys
They don't interest me other then the fact that they are something that vaguely look like some TFs.
Overpriced for what they are, whatever that may be.
If I'm buying a TF statue/paperweight I would rather spend money on one that looks like the character its supposed to be.

They are novelty items, that should have worn off by now... They are solid plastic, oversized figurines with limited movement (usually just the arms and head, and most often the legs as well - but need to stand on both to balance).
If Hasbro can spend 18 months on a Deluxe sized toy, enginneering 50+ parts to be able to convert between multiple modes, I don't see how this lump of 5-minute engineering should cost the same as a Deluxe just because it is the same size. Same can be said about the Robot Replicas, but at least they have better sculpting.

I think the key word is "novelty". Cos that's what the Mighty Muggs are.

I think its a brilliant concept, almost like the Kubrick/Bearbrick concept. There is a simple sculpt and through ingenuity, anything can be painted on it and it can look like any character. It is a cool concept, and obviously can make lots of money for the toy companies.

So, I am fond of them to the extent that I am fond of the concept.

Well they're a crap novelty to me. But you're right about Mighty Muggs sharing the same concept as Be@rbricks.
