Hasbro’s popular Mighty Muggs vinyl figures have been missing from store shelves for several years, but the line will be making a triumphant return in 2018.
The company’s new line of figures will include some of the most popular Marvel and Star Wars characters, but with a new twist. These new figures will have a suggested retail price of $9.99 USD and have a brand new push-and-turn feature to change the character’s facial expressions.
IGN debuted the fist photos of the toys, which are set for a January 2018 release. The Marvel set includes Spider-Man, Captain America, Groot and Black Widow. The Star Wars set has Darth Vader, Rey, Kylo Ren, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker. Other figures are on the way, including a Deadpool toy slated for a Spring 2018 release, which has been previewed on Marvel’s Twitter, along with the figures’ new face-changing feature.
The line of toys has been commercially discontinued for several years, though Hasbro has produced Comic Con exclusive figures during that time. The return to retail is likely a response to the success that Funko has seen with its Pop! vinyl line of toys.
