Marvel Mighty Muggs - Wave 3


Latest designer vinyl figures for Marvel Mighty Muggs (environmental friendly; 100% recycled awesome, claimed them) by Hasbro. What we have here is Dr. Ock, Thor, Ghostrider and The Nemesis Spiderman (I guess..). These batch is coming out soon here but as usual, had been launched in Singapore and we Malaysian, shall just wait, retail price should be around RM45 each, available in all major department stores and Toy R' Us, be quick, these are some hot cakes! (*see short story). Or else pay double at ebay or online stores if you would. Go check out the rest of the cool and good looking Marvel collections together with Indiana Jones and Star Wars waves. As the tagline says... "we look good in tights", they do.

For me, I intent to collect them all. Really dig the packaging as well, it's an art by itself, every one of them has their own beautiful vector art on top and at the side of the box, lining them up nicely makes a great poster. Twelve I have now...more to come.



* Rumours has it that during any major stocks arrival at Toy R Us, some of the staff hide/keep/ 'however-you-wanna-say-it' all potential money-making or best-selling toys (such as transformers, star wars etc.) for their personal contacts in return of a fees or worse, getting it themselves and sell it off at a marked-up price. Bad. No wonder the country is in turmoil, even children (ok, adult's too) playground are exploited.
