Hello from Another Noob

[ViceGripX]

My name is ViceGripX and I love Mighty Muggs. My first one was Chewbacca, which spawned this blog entry (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/journal/item/64/The_Many_Moods_of_Mighty_Muggs_Chewbacca) on my blog site. Chewie is also my favorite, though the new Captain America and Snake-Eyes come close. I collect other things besides Mighty Muggs (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/20/Mighty_Muggs) including Transformers, G.I. Joe and Star Wars stuff, though I'm cutting down on them so I can afford more Muggs.:D

I've been married just over seven years to a wonderful woman who is supportive of my hobby so long as we can pay the bills. Though there are times I'd rather skip lunch if it means buying a Mighty Mugg instead. :p We have no children, but will be trying later this year. We do have a cat and a guinea pig, both of whom adopted us by showing up on our patio, and almost a year apart to the day too.

I could go on, but you're probably bored by this point. So, I'll spare you more details unless you really want them. :)

Thank you, litepink.

Yeah, one of our upstairs neighbors dumped her in front of the bushes of our patio because she bit the daughter of the family. Mind you, it was November and our temperatures were in the teens to twenties overnight. She finally fessed up to my wife which is how we know who it was. She told my wife, "I just hoped it would run away." And do what? Freeze to death? Get eaten by a hawk? Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I guess.

Guinea pigs are a lot of work, so make sure to read up on them before you get one. We were a little taken back by how much they need and still need to get her a bigger cage. Her current one is about 1' by 2' and it's recommended to get one at least twice that. And when she gets mad, she makes a sound similar to a rattle snake. Weird.

Thank you. The only question I can think of right off are regarding the Bossk and Teebo Mighty Muggs (and the ones they ship with). Are they really Target exclusives? I've seen pictures with and without the Target logo on them and I have yet to see them in my neck of the woods. So, I want to know if I need to swing by Target more often.

As for my collections, you can see pics of my Mighty Muggs collection here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/20/Mighty_Muggs), G.I.Joe here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/6/GIJoe), Star Wars here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/14/The_Force_Unleashed), here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/27/The_Clone_Wars), and here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/4/Misc_Star_Wars), and Transformers here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/32/Transformers_-_25th_Anniversary) and here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/16/Transformers_Animated), and my pride and joy right here (http://vicegripx.multiply.com/photos/album/24/Jazz).
