We have received news from Hasbro regarding the next wave of Star Wars Mighty Muggs. We have not received any pictures yet but the list is confirmed. This wave will include 8 figures and the price may increased to RM49.90 each:

* Biggs Darklighter
* Snowtrooper
* Bossk
* Teebo
* Shock Trooper
* C-3PO
* Captain Rex
* Commander Cody

The last 3 figures are probably from the previous waves and these should be perfect for those who miss them last time. We will update the pictures soon when we receive it. This wave should be arriving very soon to Toywiz. Pre-order your set now!

looks like no scout troopers for me.

That sucks about the scout troopers as I was looking forward to those too!! Could this possibly be two waves with C3PO, Cody and Rex shipping with the Shock trooper? The plot thickens LOL

I just looked up what rm stands for and it's malaysian ringgit. So 49.90 rm = $13.96 USD. If all that is true then muggs are going to become very expensive very fast. It's really too bad because they have been out for barely a year and we've already seen a 10% price increase. I can't believe their cost has gone up enough to raise the price another 30% and their bad quality control might be the end of muggs. I really hope this info does not pan out.

I'll get Bossk no matter what. He's always a fun design. But I'm curious about Teebo and how he'll look. The others, eh. More boring troopers.

Ugh. It was only a matter of time before they made an Ewok, I suppose. After all, the Mighty Mugg "mold" was probably based on Ewoks. I'll, I'll try my best not to horde the Teebos in my area, giving everyone else a chance. :rolleyes::p

Biggs? Money says that if he didn't have the mustache he wouldn't have been done. After all, who's the only character in all three movies of the original trilogy BESIDES Luke, Han, Leia, Darth, Chewie and the droids? Wedge Antilles. I guess Wedge ain't recognizable enough. He needed a 'stache. :D

Bossk is one I'll proabably pick up. He should look cool. The Shock Trooper, also (though he doesn't have a gun?). Snowtrooper, probably. My oldest son will probably want a Commander Cody, glad they are re-releasing him.

I bought my first Muggs in December of '07 for 9.99 each. With a price tag of $13.96, throw in the tax, you're looking at a $15 Mugg. Then have a wave with 8 instead of 3 or 4. I hope they don't do like The Simpsons figure line did. The price went up $2.50 apiece, then it was a wave every 60-90 days, and each wave 8-10 figures in it. You couldn't keep up.

Now, here's the million dollar question: What will a $15 regular issue price do to the exclusives price?

Hitman
01-08-2009, 07:12 AM
* Biggs Darklighter
* Snowtrooper
* Bossk
* Teebo
* Shock Trooper
* C-3PO
* Captain Rex
* Commander Cody



Sort of a disappointing line-up IMO.

Where is the Short Round body R2-D2? Greedo? Ahsoka? Imperial Guard? Gamorian Guard?

I hope this line never ends!

Muggs ship in cases of 4 I don't see Hasbro making 8 box cases on these. It seems like Teebo replaced ObiWan in the asst.

The Target exclusive will ship in its own case of 4, as every target exclusive has been its own asst. They might be priced higher than the others as thats what Target has done with all there Star Wars figure exclusives.

A little sad about Snowtrooper instead of a Scout Trooper...I was never too fond of the Snowtroopers looks...maybe the Mugg form is more interesting though.

Honestly though, the only one that interests me (I'm not a completionist) is the Shocktrooper - too bad theres no Target within, like, a 2 hour drive around here *sigh*



After all, who's the only character in all three movies of the original trilogy BESIDES Luke, Han, Leia, Darth, Chewie and the droids?

Obiwan!

...Granted hes dead in the latter two, but he still shows up as a ghost.

Though come to think of it, hes one of the few characters who appears in all six movies...

I doubt the slight price increase is going to do much to the exclusive prices. It's not like these are going up to $20.

And toywiz.com is decent but you're better off ordering from another site given how high they jack up their prices there.

01-08-2009, 07:47 PM
they're probably raising the price based on what people are reselling some of these guys for. we've been getting them on ebay if we can't get them in stores or for trade here on the board and some of the prices are ridiculous. like $29 for 1 mugg. craziness. and i wonder if they're raising the prices on marvel and the others too. cos they don't seem to go up in price the way the star wars do.

its big business having its way with the underground. if its got a cult-following, they find a way to **** it up.

same things happened with alot of other collections my bf and i have.

BUT

yay, a snowtrooper. and i can't wait to see the others too!

is it re-releases or different versions od c-3ps et al. ??

Teeks
01-08-2009, 07:53 PM
I would hope that the 3PO is like, his look from Phantom Menance, with all the wires showing and everything, but I'd be okay with a re-release, too.

Green Eggs and Death
01-08-2009, 07:55 PM
Ok, it's a TOY STORE in Malaysia that is saying that prices MAY increase(d). How everyone is interpreting that into meaning a worldwide Mighty Mugg price hike is beyond me. LoL. :rolleyes::D

Heh, if it happens, it happens, but come on wait UNTIL it happens. Rofl.

Pumpkin King
01-08-2009, 09:16 PM
No doubt they need to increase their prices. The economy sucks and these are not necessities in life. Meaning, sales are probably a bit down and cost of production, materials, shipping etc is way up! We could pay the extra 4 bucks or they could scale back the line and release far less per year or just flat out cancel it. I think the extra 4 bucks is worth it.

Unfortunately I couldn't sneak any pics so I've committed them to memory for my fellow loungers...

I saw IN BOXES:

- Wampa (comes with a bone with some meat on it + his arm comes off!)
- Qui-Gon Jinn (nice Liam likeness)
- Obi-Wan (nice Alec Guiness likeness)

- Bossk
- Biggs Darklighter (in orange X-wing pilot gear)
- SnowTrooper

Sadly, mostly all of the news we receive about muggs is disclosed at comic con. The shock trooper was way out of left field. I can't wait to see what muggs will be in that glass case at sdcc09.

Price increase does suck. I think they are pushing the price to see at what point our buying habits change. We may all complain, but how many of us are REALLY going to stop buying muggs. We are all guilty here for the actual value we are putting on mighty muggs. I.e. $50 sdcc iron man. And. $80 venoms.

I don't mind the increase, but give us some better quality control... and BRING BACK VINYL HEADS.

Gammorian Guard? Wampa?! Oh come on...surely in all the mythos of Starwars-dom they could come up with more interesting characters than this...

I'd love to see a Jawa, or the 3 Sith lords from KOTOR II, or even characters from the Legacy series.



Anakin, Obi-wan, C-3PO, and R2-D2 are the only characters to appear in all six films.

Palpatine is the only one you missed I think.

Grak
01-09-2009, 08:32 AM
Palpatine wasn't in ANH...

Also, I am pretty sure most true Star Wars fans would love to get a Wampa and a Gamorrean. These would make GREAT Muggs and they are very memorable characters.

Gamorian Guard is perfect for the Ax alone! I will get one customized into THE EXECUTIONER to display with THOR!

Another thing I noticed is that the list has some spelling errors in it. Ex. Gammorian vs. Gamorrean.

Star Wars fans are usually pretty particular about this kind of stuff so it is possible that he is just a casual fan. I only bring this up because perhaps he was mistaken when he said they Mugg he was holding was Wicket (when in fact it was Teebo.) To him, all the Ewoks might be the same.

Green Eggs and Death
01-09-2009, 09:54 AM
Wicket has been immortalized in many toys before, including plush ones, so perhaps they're givin' another Ewok first shot at Mugg Stardom ... though Ewoks, no matter which, still suck.

i say, just because ONE retailer ONLINE has them listed for more (different currency and economies mind you), does not mean that target, or walmart, are going to have a price increase. how much does an individual mugg cost you normally at like BBTS? most retail for about $12.99. this doesnt mean they cost that much at target. video game systems, for example, sell for different prices in Japan then it does in the US. they price them different based on many different factors, muggs not excluded.

also, more so than when it first began, muggs have been going on sale at various stores

Kmart has had marvel/indy buy one get one free. Star Wars buy one get one half off.

Target has them for $8.99 until feb 9th

so, everyone rest assured, mighty muggs should be $10.99

This is true. I mean look at Case Fresh.com, ALL the muggs I've seen are listed as $29.50....


And I guess I was just a little annoyed because I was hoping for more characters that aren't in the movies *emo*


Palpatine wasn't in ANH...

I can't wait for this wave to hit. Bossk, Teebo and Snowtrooper look pretty cool. I'm sure we're going to get a Luke X-Wing pilot.

since they only ship 4 per case I'm assuming Rex, Cody and C-3po must be there own asst. Shocktrooper might be a Target exclusive one picture has the sticker the other doesn't. it would make sense since there have been 14 rumored Star Wars Muggs and 5 have now been confirmed

I really dig the Bossk and Shock Trooper, but I honestly don't like any of the other new ones very much. The Snowies helmet just doesn't do it for me at all, and I've never been a fan of Ewoks. Biggs is meh as a character, too. Those three will be easy passes, sadly. I had been really stoked about the Snowie, too. Oh well, at least I'll get another bounty hunter.

Haha, Teebo looks like a rabid hamster. I love it. Bossk looks cool like I expected, but Biggs is a surprise hit for me. I'll pick him up for sure. Just look at that mustache. Him and Lando are the ladie's men of the Muggs, no doubt.

I'll still not get him, of course. ;) Bossk is nice, the Shock Trooper is also cool and I have to say that they captured Biggs almost perfectly. The Snowtrooper isn't the greatest design, but it's not based on the greatest SW design in the first place.

Back in September we got this news report from a guy on MML:

Ok so I have some HUGE news - I saw 8 new SW Muggs today on a top secret field trip!!!
Unfortunately I couldn't sneak any pics so I've committed them to memory for my fellow loungers...

I saw IN BOXES:

- Wicket (comes with spear) HE IS CUTE!
- Wampa (comes with a bone with some meat on it + his arm comes off!)
- Qui-Gon Jinn (nice Liam likeness)
- Obi-Wan (nice Alec Guiness likeness)
- Gammorian Guard (comes with Axe - he also has nice drool detailing!)
- Bossk
- Biggs Darklighter (in orange X-wing pilot gear)
- SnowTrooper

So now that many of these have been confirmed with pictures (Teebo was obviously mistaken for Wicket), I think it is safe to say that we can look forward to Ben, Qui-gon, Gam Guard, and a Wampa in wave 9. The person who I got this information from was SPOT ON and I see no reason not to believe the other parts of the list now.

01-10-2009, 10:14 PM
He never mentions anything about a Shock Trooper though. Not saying it's any less true, just wonder if he saw it or not.

He never mentions anything about a Shock Trooper though. Not saying it's any less true, just wonder if he saw it or not.

The same guy posted over at MML again today saying this:

Hey guys, so I went on another tour this Thursday and I saw a few more Muggs to note - don't put your wallets away just yet!

Hoth Luke (with Scarred face!)
Emperial Guard (Palpatine's red guards)
Scout Trooper (way cool)
Shock Trooper (Target Exclusive sticker on box)
Teebo (Target Exclusive sticker on box)



Obviously the interesting things here are the new people on the list, the fact that Teebo is listed as a target exclusive, and there is only 3 Muggs in that wave. Is it possible that the 'Wicket' he originally saw back in September was actually Wicket? That would mean we are getting 2 Ewoks. I'd say once we see wave 9 we can pretty much take this guys word as gold when it comes to rumors.

Teeks
01-10-2009, 10:49 PM
So now I'm curious. Another rumor list went around that a wave was coming out including Hoth Luke, Emperial Guard, Scout Trooper and Ahsoka Tano. Could Ahsoka have just been a rumor or did this guy just not see her? She could be the fourth in that list. She's listed on the wiki article for Muggs as well.

So now I'm curious. Another rumor list went around that a wave was coming out including Hoth Luke, Emperial Guard, Scout Trooper and Ahsoka Tano. Could Ahsoka have just been a rumor or did this guy just not see her? She could be the fourth in that list. She's listed on the wiki article for Muggs as well.

I sent him a message earlier tonight with a bunch of questions including all the points you brought up. We will just have to see what he has to say. I am really excited for many of the rumored Muggs coming out.

The same guy posted over at MML again today saying this:

Hey guys, so I went on another tour this Thursday and I saw a few more Muggs to note - don't put your wallets away just yet!

Hoth Luke (with Scarred face!)
Emperial Guard (Palpatine's red guards)
Scout Trooper (way cool)
Shock Trooper (Target Exclusive sticker on box)
Teebo (Target Exclusive sticker on box)



Obviously the interesting things here are the new people on the list, the fact that Teebo is listed as a target exclusive, and there is only 3 Muggs in that wave. Is it possible that the 'Wicket' he originally saw back in September was actually Wicket? That would mean we are getting 2 Ewoks. I'd say once we see wave 9 we can pretty much take this guys word as gold when it comes to rumors.


So what about the Old Obi, Qoi Gonn, Wicket, and Wampa? are they Wave 10??? I'm confused now and if Teebo and Shocktrooper are exclusives it would make more sense because all exclusive have been coming out in sets you know. But that leave Wave 8 at 3 figures with the other 3 reissues to switch around in boxes... ??? I don;t know

Ah okay, cool. Because personally, I'd love to see an Ahsoka Mugg lol. I do look forward to all the ones he mentioned though.

One question I really want him to answer is if he has heard any rumors about stuff for the future. So far it has been stuff that he has held in his hands a couple months in advance. i want to know about the stuff wayyy down the pipeline. DS2 Luke? TPM Obi-wan? Unlike the Hasbro line of action figures, there are still so many great characters/outfits that need to be made.

Hey guys, how about we just wait a little bit? It's not like we have to know every single Mugg for the next year or two. Teebo and the others haven't even hit the US yet.

And I hope they don't do a Hoth Luke. I hate it when they do every single version of a character when others could be done instead and add some variety. Look at Sideshow's 12" figures. They put out 4 versions of Luke before Vader was even announced.

The next wave will have ----
Royal Guard (the red caped ones i think)
Scout Trooper
Luke Skywalker (Hoth) :/
Ahsoka Tano (the one that looks like Shaak Ti, from the clone wars. apparently this figure will come with Rotta the Hutt)

If this is the next wave, it will be good, as long as the get the scout trooper mask right. And Hasbro : WE DONT LIKE LUKE SKYWALKER NO MATTER HOW MANY OUTFITS WE CAN GET HIM IN!

No offense, but Wikipedia is never good for proof. As a joke once, I edited an entry for JFK saying that he had a pet panda named Winston. It stayed on there for a few weeks.

Seeing how Wave 8 was already confirmed and we have pics to back it up, I'd say there is a zero % chance that will be Wave 8.

It looks like the lineup will be as follows:

Wave 8:
Pilot Biggs
Bossk
Snowtrooper
Teebo?

(It's possible (however unlikely) that Wicket might be in this wave instead of Teebo. Teebo and the Shockie would be the dual packed exclusives.)

Wave 9:
Ben Kenobi
Qui-gon
Gam Guard
Wampa

Wave 10:
Hoth Luke
Scout Trooper
Royal Guard
Ahsoka

I just noticed that Boskk has his own gun. 'nice since it's not rehash from another Mugg. And he gets to rub it in lame Boba's face too.

I dunno how they'd pull off IG-88. He doesn't have a very Muggable head.


Yeah I realized this before you I posted about IG-88, they'll have to create a whole new design, which probably won't happen. The only way I can see IG-88 being produced if it is an exclusive.

Teeks
01-11-2009, 03:42 PM
Yeah. It would be neat, though. Maybe they could make IG-88 and Battle Droid with some new mold. Unlikely, but still. 4-Lom, Dengar, Zuckuss, ect are all still possibilities for the bounty hunters, though.

We have received news from Hasbro regarding the next wave of Star Wars Mighty Muggs. We have not received any pictures yet but the list is confirmed. This wave will include 8 figures and the price may increased to RM49.90 each:

* Biggs Darklighter
* Snowtrooper
* Bossk
* Teebo
* Shock Trooper
* C-3PO
* Captain Rex
* Commander Cody

The last 3 figures are probably from the previous waves and these should be perfect for those who miss them last time. We will update the pictures soon when we receive it. This wave should be arriving very soon to Toywiz. Pre-order your set now!


I am going to preorder this wave and then noticed they have updated some new photos and it's closeup version to the new muggs. Check this out, guys.
