I wonder how hard it would be? Does anyone know if there are accessory packs you can buy to get knives/guns for customs??

i think most of the customizers use sculpey or epoxy to create their accessories. one option probably is to get one of the Muggs with accessories and customize those (Grimlock's sword or one of the guns from a SW or GI Joe Mugg). the easy way is to have one done

good luck on your project

There is a custom Union Jack on eBay right now. BIN is around $60. I think I might be able to make one on my own for WELL less than that!!

Some bad news......


"Rebelscum: Combining two lines into one single question, since the question is pretty much the same for both: Mighty Muggs and Titanium Series. Can you comment on the demise of these lines, and more speficially, when they will be ending? There's obviously a lot of characters/vehicles to bring out in these lines, and of those that were already announced (like Ahsoka Tano, the UT-AT, E-Wing, Gungna Sub), which ones will actually come out before they end?

Hasbro: Both lines are winding down for the same reason: diminished interest in these formats compared to anything else in the Star Wars lineup. While both started strong - and Titanium in particular has had an AMAZING 5-1/2 year run - interest had waned since the original launches.

Actually, the two lines diverged significantly in a couple areas.

Mighty Muggs were faster and simpler to develop, but we were dipping down into characters that consumers did not seem to care for in the vinyl format, and many fans who initially were excited about the concept either did not have the room to continue to pursue or decided that they had had enough.

Titanium was more difficult to develop, was subject to pricing volatility given the metal component, and needed a significant amount of new tooling to keep it interesting. Both of them, because of the extremely high item count needed to sustain their sales, were less important than the need to refocus our design team elsewhere on new initiatives."

I wonder how they came to the conclusion that (A. we had no more room to collect and (B. "dipping down"? what characters are they talking about? the only Star Wars Mugg that shelfwarmed around here in San Diego was Tarkin! everybody else sold well. Characters that we don't care for? Snowtrooper, Shocktrooper, Cody, Biggs, Bossk, Teebo, we all hard a hard time even finding these! how are they characters that "we" don't care for?

that's sad to hear. if they do intend to stop the Muggs line, they should at least keep on issuing the blank Muggs so that we can get stuff like this from all the customizers

thought you guys might have a kick out of these ones...
