New Mighty Mugg Reveal

We've received word from Hasbro that they made an appearance in London at MCM Comic Con, which is one of the largest conventions in the United Kingdom, this weekend. At the show, they revealed yet another new Mighty Muggs figure which is set to hit store shelves next year. This cute little guy, like all of newly designed Muggs, will include three different expressions which can be rotated by simply depressing the character's head. The upcoming line will also include a mix of Marvel Superheroes in it and at the convention Hulk too was revealed. Look for a both of these to drop in January.

Mighty Muggs Guide

After taking a 7-year hiatus, Mighty Muggs are returning to the store shelves in January 2018.  The line of stubby over-sized vinyl figures first debuted in 2007, three years before their modern counterpart Funko Pops exploded onto the scene. The line featured almost 60 different Star Wars characters over the duration of the line. The "figures" featured about 3 points of articulation and typically included a single accessory. With declining sales and interest, the line went to online only for the last few waves before fading into twilight with their Target Mini Mugg sets in 2010. During New York Comic Con 2017, Hasbro announced the return of the line but with a "twist". Now the figures, which are considerably smaller than the before, feature the ability [...]

The Last Jedi Trailer & Speculation

During this week's Monday Night Football, the first official trailer finally debuted. Prior to the halftime release, Starwars.com revealed the official poster for the eighth episode of the Saga. What stands out immediately is Luke's position in the montage that is typically reserved for Darth Vader. Speaking of Vader, speculation online has pointed out that the position of the characters and wording on the poster take the form of Darth Vader's helmet. Following the trailer, tickets for the movie were made available from most theater chains. Now as the anticipation begins to  build for the December 15th release, we thought we'd take a look at some of the already iconic images that can be found in the trailer. So without further ado, let the speculation begin! We begin [...]

Hasbro’s Value 6″ Series Checklist

We've been getting a lot of questions lately concerning Hasbro's discount 6" figure line. The line which Hasbro.com has referred to as a "Value" series includes figures which are for the most part scaled down versions of Hasbro's 12" line of Hero figures. For a good look at how these figures represent their 12" counterpart, check out our Galaxy of Toys co-host's look at the most recent releases: This line has had limited release in the United States as it is intended for International and discount retailers. Selling for around $6-$8 a piece this line costs a mere fraction of Hasbro's other 6" line, The Black Series. This discounted price can be found in the fact that most of the weapons are permanently glued to the figure's hands [...]
