walmart doesn't even sell them and when i called target they said they didn't have them but near the end of the call they found some(only 2 really..Duke And Cobra Commander)
are the G.I Joe Mighty Muggs that unpopular or something?
i don't think i've seen The Indy Muggs either but thats a different story

indy and gi joe muggs are definately not my thing...at all. i like the marvel and that's pretty much it. my lady loves the SW line a lot. I'd have to say other than the marvel line the only ones i really LIKE are boba fett and vader

I love joe muggs! They are great for custom fodder and come with lots of weapons!

does cobra commander's cape work as a weapon?

I think they're okay, I would like to see some better ones though.

you keep posting the same thing you've already said in other threads in new ones. Why?

I think the Joe muggs will start to sell better when the movie comes out. I think they are pretty cool, Destro is one of the coolest muggs in my collection.
So far I've only bought two Joe Muggs, Destro and Storm Shaddow. They don't seem to be selling all that well in my area.

The Fact that walmart doesn't even sell them seems odd then again they're the store that only sells mace windu most of the time as they're only SW Mugg...
target only seems to have duke and cobra commander
it's better then nothing but still..

If you want G.I. Joe Muggs, you need to check out the Mugg Showdown VI thread! Not Hasbro Muggs ... but better! ;)

Everytime I go to a target it seems like they always have at least one set of wave 1, havnt seen a destro, saw one baroness and grabbed her. Toys R Us seems to only have dukes around here for some reason...but targer always has wave 1's.

Joe Muggs aren't hot sellers, no. And I dunno why Wal-Mart doesn't get them. But Wal-Mart has always sucked with Muggs around here so it doesn't matter. They don't have Transformers either.

yeah the Walmarts by me are terrible too, not even close to what Target or TRU has in stock.

Wow Everytime I Call target
they always seem to have Duke And Cobra Commander
It's like nobody even wants them...

Why do so many people hate on the Joe Muggs? Just wondering.
Pumpkin King
04-24-2009, 07:31 AM
Cause they are lame?
No really, I don't think people hate them. Just not a very popular line, least in Mugg form. 3.5 and others? Yeah, they sale very well

I wasn't interested in them at first because I've never been a G.I. Joe fan. However, when I saw them in person -- they look pretty dang awesome. I had to pick them up.
Maybe it's just because they're less "popular" or whatever. I dunno.

i watched joes as a kid and i still dont really dig the joe muggs but that didnt stop me from buying them all!....except Duke...boring looking muug. But i got the 5 others!

I think they had the potential to be a really awesome line of muggs but i think they failed because 1. Theres
only six of them 2. I think the characters they decided to create were just bad choices not to say the
characters they made were lame just should have made other characters first. 3. GI joe hasent been seen
for a really long time ( i mean star wars has the movies that came out a couple of years ago and the clone
wars series, Transformers has its movie that just came out and the new animated series on cartoon
network, even indiana jones just had a movie come out and mavel enough said comic books, movies,
cartoons) compared to the other lines of muggs GI joe was a long time ago and i think people just forgot
how cool the show.

I agree duke was lame the only reason i would want to get him is cause my snake eyes is the only good guy i have and the other four are all bad guys/gal.

I bought Destro cause he is shiny. Other than that, none of them look very cool to me.

I don't see how they made bad choices in the first few. Sure, Cobra Commander could've had the hood, but he's still the top Cobra guy. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were very popular, Destro has a great look, Duke was one of the freakin' LEADERS of the team and Baroness, well they needed a female one, I suppose, though I would've gone with Scarlett (and, I DID go with Scarlett ;) )
It just was past their time, really, not unlike the Indy Muggs. Hasbro has kept the GI Joe line for all of these years (and I've said this countless times) because they are Hasbro's own. They created GI Joe and it's their property. While I was wrong about them stayin' with the Joe MUGG line because of this, it's one of the reasons, perhaps the MAIN reason, they've kept up Joe toys all of these years.

Well we haven't seen any new ones at all, besides Serpentor. I think were just getting bored of the same old wave 1 characters in stores.

That and if you look at the GI Joe collectors, most of them don't care for them. Like when the TF fans say "dosn't transform, I wont buy." Marvel and SW have built in fans who will buy anything.
That being said, I love the Joe and TF muggs.

I love Storm Shadow. I think he's one of my favorite Muggs, period. He looks like a sneaky white ninja. {Is the fact that I know nothing about the show showing? :D}

Well, for being "Joe Ignorant";) you got it correct. Storm Shadow IS a sneaky white ninja ... that is, he's sneaky and he dresses in white. He's not Caucasian, of course. :D He kind of went back and forth from bad guy to good guy. Something like that.

used cobra commander for custom, opened snake eyes for custom but he looks cool out of box.

I really like the Joe Muggs, but it seems that most people in my area don't care for them. It's too bad, too. I really wanted to see a Zartan Mugg... not to mention that super cool Serpentor that was shown in Toyfare a few months back. :(

You'd Think The New G.I Joe Movie As Well as G.I Joe Resolute Would Boost The Franchise's Popularity...

Agreed. Destro is the only aesthetically pleasing Joe mugg, in my opinion.

i totally agree! i didn't buy him for a long time but went to urban outfitters last week and they had him for $9 so i got him...opened him and he is really cool next to the others...i love his expression and i like the all white suit next to my all black snake eyes...he is definitely a favorite now. course i'm still loving my grimlock and cyclops...cyclops and his freaking smurk on his face..love it!
