I'm not big on Mighty Muggs but these figures are warming me up to the toyline. Ironhide and Prowl look great.

I love the Mighty Muggs. Please please please do not let this be a dead line yet. It has so much potential for the Transformers characters.

These are pretty sweet, but I just can't have one, I'd need to collect them all..... Give me a Mighty Muggs Blurr and I'll stop the whining!

I hope they at least even it out like they did so far and continued with the unreleased Jazz and Shockwave.

Wouldn't mind seeing Skywarp and Thundercracker as the other half of this wave. Wouldn't be so hard since they can be repaints (with different faces) of Starscream.

The only Mighty Mugg repaint to date would be metallic Optimus which was a complete let down. Another one would be the up coming War-Machine which is a repaint of the SDCC movie Iron-man.

Can't wait to see what they plan to do if these are legit

Aww...so cute. Want both of them. However, I still don'thave Prime or Megs! Saw them at my Target, but never had the money to get them.

I swore to myself that I wouldn't get any of these things so of course I have all 6 of them. I can't wait to get Jazz & Shockwave and now Prowl & Ironhide. Before they were doing a Bot and a Con so two Bots will throw off the balance.

This line must be the dream of Hasbro... They can do endless repaints for the same base figure, and some people will buy them. Personally, I hate these figures.

Interested for sure.

The Mighty Muggs are 6" vinyl figures. They're not stuffed dolls. Those would be Popple-like stuffed Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from 2 years ago.

Considering the unique style and attention to detail that goes into each figure, these are far more than just "repaints". I admit this line is not for everyone, but I love the concept. I think the designs on each figure are very well thought out. These guys are fun, to say the least. Can't wait to see their return in stores.

I really love the little differences and details between each figure, ie the individual guns, or the seeker wings, and so on. I haven't bought any of these figures, but I have to start collecting them.

When I first heard they were cancelling Jazz & Shockwave, I considered making my own so I did a few designs like Cliffjumper, Hot Rod, Swindle, Ultra Magnus, Alpha Trion, Thunderwing and a bunch more. When I priced out the base parts I would need, I decided against it. The only design I didn't delete was for Bludgeon. I wasn't sure how to do the helmet. I had a third with the Darth Vader helmet as the base but it looks like I deleted it too. Here are the 2 that survived.

I was going to say this, but I thought the clown faces meant he was being sarcastic. The 'My Buddy' comment also threw me because he was more plastic than doll wasn't he?
