Marc Baptiste <I always thought Sasquatch's eyes were red with black highlights. But, then I also think the original Batwoman's costume is yellow with black highlights. For some reason I just can't get my head around the concept of something being black with yellow, or red, or other colors that don't cast highlights. >

JB <But men turning into giant furry monsters you're okay with?>

JB,

I guess it's a matter of degrees.  Sure, I am willing to accept that a guy can fly, as an integral part of what makes superhero-genre, comic book fiction work.  However, I think it makes it all the more important to keep the "stage" on which the superhero does his flying as faithful to reality as possible.  If we start altering the laws of the physics of electromagnetic radiation... then where do we stop?

I finally found this guy today, now I'm finally caught up on my Muggs. I spoke to a friend of mine that works at Wal-mart and he claims that the new cases of Mighty Muggs have left out the Doctor Doom one. So anyone who collects these should pick him up if seen.

JB, if your having trouble locating any muggs, etc. let me know. I work at that toy company (been there approx. 25 years), keep it quiet, no one has to know. Some really great stuff coming up next year!! definately need to make room for yet another collection.

Dave.

I only have Hulk, Cap and Iron Man regarding the Muggs. I just don't like the
Wolverine and Spider-Man figures for some reason; my next planned
purchase is Thor.

Thor has the wings on his helmet, but Wolverine's mask doesn't stick out on top?

••

Thor's helmet wings are not part of his helmet, whereas Wolverine's,
um, fins are. It would require tooling up a whole new head, just for
Wolverine, to do the mask "right". And that would kind of defeat the whole
point of the series.

No, no. I see what you're trying to do here, and it's not going to work.

"Hey Ray, did you see these Muggs guys? They're so darn cute!"
"They're just itty-bitty things; hardly take up any space at all..."
"There's only half a dozen of them. Just get the ones you like the most..."

I see where this is going, and I'm not having it! I'm NOT starting another collection! I have the will to resist!

Although I suppose we don't use the dining room all that much...

At Target today I saw bobble heads of Thor, Captain America, Vison and (I think) Iron Man.
