MMF must change...

[B.A.L.D]

Yes MMF must change! As all know this forum (that I love) is dying and has been losing active members steadily.

I believe that it must change, it must adapt to the climate of customizing now, with muggs at death's door a lot of my fellow customizers have started to do other toys and platforms for our work.

Does this mean a name change? Possibly. Deffinatley a change in design and categories to a more open forum where everything can be featured.

Something similar to Vinyl Toy freaks, but with the base of members we have this thing could be rocking once again.

Those are some of my thoughts, I hope Ralph heeds this call because I know I'm speaking for most of the community on this.

[Fuller2356]

I agree 100% and have mentioned such a thing once before. Muggs are on the decline, but I do love this forum!

Maybe change a few thread names and the name of the forum and badabing you have a cool new site.

Out of all the forums I'm a member too, I like this one the best, so I hope it doesn't go the way of the dodo bird.

[F1SHCUSTOMS]

I agree 100% as well. Right now what we have is only Mighty Mugg customizers showing there "other work", if an all vinyle forum was established here rather than just mighty muggs, we would have customizers of All Kinds showing there work, rather than just the few artist on this forum.

And personally, I think this is what Mighty Mugg forum "needs" much more and it doesnt offend anyone like some other brilliant decisions that have been made as of late. Im sure everyone knows what im talking about...

[chard5000]

Gentlemen (and Ladies), we can rebuild MMF. We have the technology. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster.

[Fuller2356]

If it is a matter of money for revamping this site, I can help by lending my designer skills to help rebuild the overall look. Free of charge. I can build the web pages, just not that good at coding... :(

[F1SHCUSTOMS]

Im pretty sure if everyone wanted this to happen, we would definitly have the means, its a matter of whether or not everyone is on board with this. However if this is where MMF ends, maybe its time the U.A.A. step up to the plate and maybe we can put together our own little program lol.

[Fuller2356]

Amen brother! LOL!

[rocketboy]

well I don't know much about much but ill show up and ill post so word

That's exactly what I'm thinking of if this baby bites the dust.

[chris.o.saur]

i'm down for all of this as well. completely on board. i use a few other toy forums, and other than kidrobot none have the base of this one. vinyltoyfreaks usually has the 2 mods on and a few guests....thats it. we should do what we need to. and if this site falls, let's just start a fresh one. we have a good base of friends and artists here, let's not lose it

[MaloApril]

Mike and I also agree... There are sooooo many more things to customize and we all are doing new stuff so MMF doesn't represent everything that is happening here now. If it doesn't happen and you guys end up just creating a new site be sure to email us MaloApril79@yahoo.com and we'll see you there! This could be just what "mmf" needs to stay alive!! The other forum we are in isn't quite as easy to navigate though and this one does seem to have that part figured out! It is the best so far that we have seen. Just needs a new name and some excitement! :)

[JasonTeck]

I guess I am in the minority but I am not a customizer so I have no interest in a site where everyone pats each other on the back for the work that they do. I come to this site everyday to find out information about Mighty Muggs and where I can buy them...that is pretty much it.

[MaloApril]

I don't think that part would have to end... I think it can be muggs and MORE!! It's not about the pat on the back... It is just ONE of the aspects of this forum to share custom work. All of the other content can remain there would just be NEW stuff too!

[Pandiddy]

I'm down with the changes

Could we maybe include a politics section while we're at it?

[B.A.L.D]

Yes I would say you are in the minority, Muggs are pretty much dead in retail, your very late to the party...you can still buy them on ebay though.

I agree most Mugg stuff would remain but it would just be an expansion, we all still love muggs and customizing them them but honestly the demand for them is nil, nada, none to really speak of, so many are migrating to other things to paint.

[Ninja Mugg]

Well for anything to change a particular mod needs more power.... Hint hint.

[yabemc]

Define dead? People and customizers come and go regardless of what a forum lack or doesn't. The forum was I guess stronger before because Muggs were just getting recognized. Now, the waves seem to have been disappearing in stores and are leading people to belive that they are being discntinued. If this is a Mighty Mugg forum and wish to keep it a Mighty Mugg forum, then we need to stick with only Muggs and nothing else. Yeah, there are tons of other vinly figures out there being spawned by Mighty Muggs that can also be customized but I feel that's chasing people away. If you have an elephant forum, you're not gonna be talking about chickens and hamsters right? I just feel that we're forgetting what got us here in the first place,MUGGS!

[iloverobots]

I do programming freelancing work and although I try to stay away from web stuff (especially php) I have a pretty good knowledge of web technologies and would be glad to donate some time! I think MMF could become a hub for all toys addicts out there, including action figures, 'urban' vinyl and customizers.

I think ComicVine (http://www.comicvine.com/) is a great example of what could be achieved with this community, but for toys and artists. Admins feel free to get in touch with me via PM if I can help in any ways :) and if you guys were thinking of 'expanding' to a full blown website (you know, with articles and news and stuff) I think moving to Django (http://www.djangoproject.com/) would be a great solution.

[yabemc]

Again, let's keep this site for Muggs only. We're watering the site down too much. Pretty soon we're gonna allow people to post pictures of their customized cars. Art is art regardless of what canvas you use, but people who come here want to se Muggs.

[MaloApril]

Both sides have points... BUT Muggs are becoming harder to find. Of course there will always be people who soley come here for them but why not branch out and include all avenues. This is how I see it...

I love coming here at chatting with the people I have got to know here... If we expand then we can all stay. If we don't we'll lose some and the place won't be the same. Some of the people here are the only reason I stay. I mean .... I like showing our custom muggs but lets face it... friendships have been formed... we know whose opinions we rely on or value... I don't want to start all over again on another forum. I have never been a part of a forum before and probably won't go to this much trouble EVER again to be a part of one. So why not expand mmf and keep the old friends and make new ones as well? That's why I say expand. Now that I got all mushy on you guys... ahem... Lets keep the old and add some new! K?!

[yabemc]

Becauseif we allow to show all avenues, the majorty will rule and what ever is talked about less wil die off. If we have 3 Mugg fans, 10 V.A. fans and 24 Dunny fans.... What do you think will be talked about most? When you go to Home Depot, you're not looking for milk right? All I'm saying if someone wants to fnd a forum for a specific toy, they know where to go.

[yabemc]

They come here for Muggs.

[yabemc]

I think that if we all want to make this site aboutall toys, then we should change the name. It should be called,"The Every Possible Urban Vinyl Toy That Can Be Customized Forum". Or E.P.U.V.T.T.C.B.C.F. for short. Kinda has a nice ring to it:]

[iloverobots]

Dude, you're acting like a fucking asshole. Just thought I'd let you know. If you don't have anything meaningful to bring to this discussion maybe you should stop posting. "You don't go to home depot to buy milk" is not a valid argument in this thread and your triple posting is ruining the discussion.

Back on topic:
We have a great community here, a lot of people with a bunch of different interests but all revolving around the same concept: toys (and I guess comic books). The way I see it is, if we (let's say) make this site a viable place for people who only collect Dunnies, that might eventually get them into Muggs just like a bunch of people here got into Dunnies from seeing customs here. Offering more topics/sections will not only broaden the interests of the Mugg-addicts here, but will also bring people who don't know much about muggs into the hobby.

Anyways. Assuming we stay muggs only; this site definitely needs a facelift and possibly a front page with news, a blog kinda thing but then again... since muggs aren't really active this probably won't work out so in a way that brings us back to my previous point... this site needs to be "wider" in subjects. It needs to become a hub for everything toys related!

[yabemc]

I'm not being an A-hole. I have an opnion like everyone else. This is a serius topic and I feel strongly about it. I'm here to help.

[yabemc]

The forum also may be dying because unlike before, everyone now has their own myspace and blog. Sometimes thattoo may stray people away. As long as we keep this site Muggs, they won't die off.

[yabemc]

You don't go to Home Depot to buy milk meant that people don't come here for Dunnys,etc. They come here for Muggs. I customize other tos but won't post them here. I'l post somewhere else for that.

[yabemc]

Sometimes too much of a good thing can back fire. We're sreading ourselves out too thin with this explosion of vinyl toys. It gets too overwhelming. I think that future customizers still have a better chance getting their hands on Muggs than any other vinyls out there. More affortable also.

[potishen]

Muggs

[potishen]

I think that the Muggs themselves from Hasbro are what got most people interested but right now it is the art/artists that keep me coming back everyday. I want to see what Irulan or Fuller or Toyboy or BALD or the Malos are going to post next. I like to see peoples collections ....Hell Alphaheros posted some cool looking black and white art that I would like to see more of. Seems to me we have a pretty good community of supportive people (not many naysayers that I can think of.. maybe one) that like to make,buy or look at cool vinyl/plastic toys or toys in general.
But I think its the artists right now that need to lead the way till Hasbro gets there head out of there asses, to keep us coming back for more whether thats Muggs,Toys,or a combination of everything. Thats my two cents ! Long Live Mighty Muggs
PS I do not have a problem writing those Hasbro bastards everyday of the week to get us some Muggs

[yabemc]

Us customizers have always lead the way. I think that us customizers made Muggs what they are today. Hasbro has let a lot of us down keeping us waiting, but hopefully not for long.

[F1SHCUSTOMS]

I just think Muggs, WERE the reason people came here, but as you can see as of late, there isnt much Mugg talk because there are no Muggs to talk about. Broadening the spectrum would allow people to talk about whatever they want and come here for whatever they want. It cant hurt, it can only help but whatever, to each there own

[MaloApril]

No one has ever said... No more Mighty muggs they just want an expansion... As long as there is interest in Mighty Muggs they will continue to be a part of this... but it would just be like now... we are sharing other stuff anyway. I think that letting this become a fight is the wrong way to go. We all have "things" we wanna say and colorful ways of saying them but... (iloverobots) we need to control that! I have... I am sure others have .... lets just a step back and realize that we all appreciate this forum in one way or another and don't want this forum to just fade. This isn't an attempt to end mighty muggs... just a way to share more... and for those of you who think it all about a pat on the back... it isn't. It is like sharing your talent/ art/ whatever you want to call it anywhere else. Whatever... i think it is a good idea! What could it hurt... It isn't hurting anyone now. So what's the difference?

[MaloApril]

Irulan,Fuller,BALD,Malos,Arejay,MCD,Design,DRMugg have all been a pleasure to deal with and hopefully I'll get a few more in Chard,Packersfan,JT,Sid,Rocket,Toyboy,Kire,Legend, before my wife locks up our bank account.


You forgot some... :(

[yabemc]

I was thinking of having a handfull of artists customize good guy(hero) characters and another half make bad guys(villain). Neither side will know who you're making. The idea is to make the stronger chracter/side. When everyone is finished we will not vote based on which side looks better but which side will win in a battle. For example, Fuller and F1sh would go head to head - you would draw numbers or something to determine who goes head to head, a good vs. bad of course. If Fuller made a SpiderMan and F1sh made a Doc Oc, Fuller would win. Winners would stay and move on. Just a thought. What do you think?

[MaloApril]

Huh? Whaaaaa? confused... a game?

[yabemc]

A vs. contest. Not who's custom looks the best but which of the two customs going head to head would win in a battle if they fought.

[dashrndar23]

I'll attempt to bring this back on topic with my thoughts. Here is the way I see it. I agree that the MMF is dying because of the lack of new muggs to talk about. In fact I find myself mostly coming back here to post in the Off-Topic section of the forum. I understand that most of you would like an expansion here for other vinyls and I agree that it would be a good idea...in a sense. You see, I only care to hear about muggs and (somewhat of mez-itz) and honestly I don't care that much to hear about the customs but I am also of the opinion that if we do add things that the muggs section would just die off like this forum already is. Overall I feel that we can save the community but I don't think there is anything that we can do about saving the muggs topics. Because of this we might lose some of the members that would rather hear about muggs only because they don't have the time or the money to invest in other vinyl toys. (I might be one of those people if the muggs section died)

Then again, as I think about it, I did mention to one of my friends outside the MMF that we should get into customizing... so maybe that would keep me around... I guess we will all just have to wait and see.

Please watch your language and name calling and actually he has a valid point in his arugments.

Highly unlikely this forum is going to change names, turn into something that its not. This is a forum for muggs first and foremost. sure we can add additional catergories to include other toys, whatever....it wont change the overall meaning for the forum. Just because muggs are coming out very slowly if at all anymore doesnt mean the forum is dead or should die. The discussions might slow or the forum could die all together in the future, but for now it is what it is.

As many of you have offered to help and its appreciated, however us mods will have to discuss things first before we start flying by the seat of our pants. Just as an FYI I am personally a web designer/developer as my day job. However ideas to make this place are welcome, just dont get mad if we dont use some or any of your ideas.

and if anything is going to change on this board, I need additional admin rights....hint...

[Fuller2356]

Thanks Ninja! Glad to hear you are considering it.

But, from what I read on this thread, there is two sides to the coin. Customizers and Mugg fans. And as long as the name of the site stays Mighty Muggs forum I can only guess that the rate of members will continue the fall.

Simple solution.

Customizers should make a new forum highlighting the customizing side of vinyl toys along with many other topics. Including, what's new in the toy world, comics and much more. And the people who just want to hear about muggs can still come back to this forum to find that out as well (including myself). It's not rocket science. Anyone can create a forum. So that's what I'm hoping to do, (hopefully with the help of a few friends) If not, it's still in progress.

I'm not against this forum, which I love, but for me personally I would like to grow more in the field. And if it means that I have to shell out a few hundred bucks to make a new forum that brings other people like myself to it. I'm happy with that.

Everybody wins :)

[Ninja Mugg]

I would agree with that...it seems the logical idea would to have another forum that is all about customizing of toys, which is a great idea and would be a cool forum and would never die. I would join!

that's a great idea Fuller. I'm in as well, let me know if you want any help.

[rocketboy]

I came to this site first because I started collecting muggs, then, after months of only looking at the marvel muggs section I stumbled upon the collaberation set that Fuller Arejay and Chard made. It was so awesome and have always regretted not bidding on it. At the time though, I was new to muggs and a custom was "expensive" (now I would have called it a steal) I hadn't done much art for years and years and never painted but after having so much fun looking at everyones creations I decided to give it a shot. I read the tips and tricks section enough times to feel confident trying it out. Since then, I've had a nice little hobby to release some steam and get out some creativity. I love the whole community and love seeing all thats made. The other toy creations are really neat and I think its awesome to welcome in new canvas styles to keep things intresting. If it means me goign to 2 different forums thats fine with me. I just don't want to see my new found hobby stalled out because of lack of interest.

One HUGE aspect, that I think might be looked over, that muggs feature that other vinyl toys seem to lack is that the customizers here pretty much stay on topic. That being they create characters that are already in existance. I think that is a huge point of interest for me. If its a vinyl Spiderman or Batman creation I am always much more interested in it. It's the more artsy vinyl toys which don't reference anything but the artists imagination that don't seem to interest me as much. Although this is cool, it's not always as intriguing in my opinion.

Why the rant.... I have no idea. My 2 cents I guess.

[Fuller2356]

I wouldn't worry too much about things changing as far as characters go for customizing Rocket. Comics will be a big part of this new idea. And besides. It will probably remain a small forum for quite a while... Sort of a close niche group of people. Not sure. Depending on how many people are interested in such a forum.

Unlike this forum, there was Mighty Muggs that drew everyone together, we wouldn't have that incentive. But any custom design would be welcome, and of course, I would be still making comic characters forever :)

[rocketboy]

hip hip hoorey!

[B.A.L.D]

A vs. contest. Not who's custom looks the best but which of the two customs going head to head would win in a battle if they fought.

Dude sorry but your getting my topic way off track...:confused:

[yabemc]

Sorry BALD.

[yabemc]

I just hope to see more custom Muggs. I know that we have enough talented artists now who can put out some great ones. I'll start posting my customs here on the forum first instead of my blog to prevent people from going back and forth. I feel that will be my own personal small step to to keep people coming back.

[B.A.L.D]

^That's a good idea!

[litepink]

okay, it seems like the topic has been changed a few times in this thread... but im going to put in some general MMF thoughts that i am having right now...
first of all..... no name change. this is a place for Mighty Muggs. thats why we all came here to begin with!
of course, muggs are slow and dying. we might not see any more from hasbro.... but we still see customs.
and if customizers want to post pics of their other customs and other art, thats great! perhaps a new sub-forum or whatever would be a good idea for that! just to keep things neat and tidy, im big into keeping things neat :)
this can be a place for mighty muggs first, but also a place to share other customs and stuff. why not?
i know its been slow here, and maybe i can try to come up with some sort of contest or something.... we need to spruce things up a bit and im ALWAYS open to suggestions!!!! so lemme know what you got!!!!

[B.A.L.D]

^What I'm really speaking of is longevity, in it's current form this forum may not be here this time next year which would be a big loss for myself and others. We encourage site changes maybe not a complete overhaul but definatley a refresh.

[Smernie]

I have to agree with Fuller and BALD. I first got interested in Muggs cause my brother had some. Not interested enough to go out searching for them until I came across a custom Munny on 1up.com. That got me searching online to find out if a lot of people were in to custom figures. Enter MMF. It got me not only excited in Muggs, but in toys again in general. In the last month, I must have spent $300 on toys, both muggs and other. I haven't done that in years!
I became more interested in Muggs because they were easier to find, and a cheaper solution to making my own toys than Munny, Dunny, and all the others. However, as popularity for these others grow, and Muggs continue to decline, that may not be the case, at least in availability. So I say altering the site, at the least, isn't such a bad idea. If your a hard core Muggs fan, Kidrobot fan, customizer, or just like toys, this could be the place that has it all.

[litepink]

i agree, we need some tweaks! but i dont want to completely change what this is all about and why we all came here to begin with!

[F1SHCUSTOMS]

We all want whats best for Mighty Muggs Forum, no matter how angry we get lol.

[litepink]

whos angry? haha

[thelazman]

I love this place as it stands, but some valid points have been raised. I will continue to come here and post, even if the site remains status quo. Maybe a suggestion area should be added to site, where the person can remain anonymous.

[pikey]

i came here because of mighty muggs and then began customizing them and i come back day after day to talk with those i met through the forum and to look at the new customs that are being created.

i think the forum should stay "mightymuggsforum" and maybe include "other customs' section

but i feel the same way rocketboy does...i've been to a few other sites that have custom vinyls and i just prefer the customs of known characters....yes alot of those other customs are cool abstract paintings but i just like the idea of a comic book character or well known character being custom painted on a mugg or whatever vinyl figure.

if another forum was created and the members from here were on there i'm sure i would join...my hope is that a solution is found that keeps everyone here.

[F1SHCUSTOMS]

^ I agree and you made a point that even I didnt realize untill you said it. I come here for the people, at this point its not even about the Muggs anymore

[Fuller2356]

Said it before, and I'll say it again! Love this forum and the people!

[rocketboy]

I come for the muggs I hate all you buttholes

[yabemc]

I think we need to do something with the main page. Like maybe have the custom of the week on there every Friday. Just a thought.

[yabemc]

Or even a Mugg photo of the week.

[litepink]

i always had the idea of making a MAIN page with a blog... or not really a blog but a news sections or just of anything mighty muggs..
i dont think any one else was a fan of the idea though.
i forgot who i brought it up to, ralph or LN.

[yabemc]

That would be cool.

[LEGENDARYCUSTOMS]

Regardless of what happens to the MMF this has been an amazing community that was built from the ground up by Ralph around a product that was very new at the time. I personally would like to thank everyone involved for giving us artists a platform to share our work with the world. Many of us have met friends and become much better artists just by being able to view and critique eachother's work over the years...so many good people with lots of talent :)
YabeMc has a great point concerning Hasbro...
They have all but fully ignored an entire subculture that has revolved around their product.
I for one think we should try to make them stand up and notice what is going on here before the line dies entirely...

That pretty much says it right there, nice post. The only thing I want to add is that It shouldnt end here, not if it doesnt have to. I say if adapting is the next thing to do in keeping the communitty together than we should do whatever it is to keep everyone here and bring in others.

You are right F1sh it definitely should not end by any means...the fact that all of us are still here and putting out such solid work(yourself very much included) is proof that regardless of retail sales our community is still strong and WORTH any efforts needed to keep it alive...
Updating and adding to this forum makes perfect sense....it is Evolution.

[yabemc]

Hasbro has stopped making Muggs but we haven't. If Hasbro does one day officially cancel Muggs, then we can only customize the Muggs that we have left in circulation. That means we're gonna have to tap into our personal factory made Mugg collection if we want to keep customizing. So start stock piling now or be prepared to open up those SDCC exclusives. I'm not worried yet, I've got plenty in hand.

I agree 100% and I appreciate the recognition from such a great artist like yourself Jeta. Alot of things have come a long way on this forum, Hell we even got YAB to stop making drawings of us lol, and to boot hes actually a great addition to the communitty lol, But I just feel everything right now is as good as it gets, everyone is FINALLY on the same page and whatever efforts can be made to keep this the way it is, I personally would be more than willing to make them. But as it stands right now, this forum will die with Mighty Muggs, and I for one dont want it to.

Alot of things have come a long way on this forum, Hell we even got YAB to stop making drawings of us lol, and to boot hes actually a great addition to the communitty lol, But I just feel everything right now is as good as it gets, everyone is FINALLY on the same page and whatever efforts can be made to keep this the way it is, I personally would be more than willing to make them. But as it stands right now, this forum will die with Mighty Muggs, and it doesnt have to.

I don't think it could be put any better!!!!!

Without destroying the core of the forum (Mighty Muggs), maybe we can open up the customizing section and possibly remove some of the lesser used forums. What I don't want to happen is create 100 different sections on the board and have people scroll down 10 minutes to find the bottom. That way, we would be able to have the best of both worlds on this forum. What do you guys think?

That is a great point and a great idea.

What about having a drop down menu(like the one used for PM's) for something like mighty mugg line up? So instead of 4 mighty mugg line up titles, you would have one with subfolder containing the rest. This would save space on the main page for other stuff. If the idea is feasible.

This is very true. I am game for any suggestions

Actually, if Hasbro gives up on Muggs it would be a good thing.
Here's what we've learnt since we started up Galbottoys...
If Hasbro gives up the ghost and sells the license someone can buy it and start making 8" and 2" DIY muggs. Hell, if we wanted to get sued we could do it tomorrow and churn out some mini muggs to go with the regular size ones and customisers could have Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth with WildChild customs or any combinations they wanted...but knowing Hasbro the liscence would be huge.
All you need is a 3d model and a printer to do it.....
All you awesome customisers could get together and form a company and buy the licence for the blanks and market them towards the more 'eastern' audience and you'd make more money as a customs venture then Hasbro did limiting themselves to SW and Marvel and it's mainstream licences.
Your work is much more detailed and technically advanced.

Well since this discussion first took place, Fuller and myself have gone on to create a new forum...

http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo322/breakinganotherleveldesign/CTU-WEB-FLYER-1-1.jpg (http://www.customtoyunion.com/index.php)

This is not meant to deter use of MMF but to provide an alternative outlet for those artists and fans to post other toys they collect and customize.

So feel free and visit us, some great things are happening on there. So in closing...

JOIN THE REVOLUTION, JOIN THE CTU!!!! customtoyunion.com (http://www.customtoyunion.com/index.php)
