Mighty Muggs are back, and Hasbro is offering at least 50 new Mighty Muggs from Marvel and Star Wars this year, which will include characters from the films and/or comics. In addition to Marvel and Star Wars, Hasbro announced this past weekend at New York ToyFair that they will be offering Transformers and My Little Pony Mighty Muggs in 2018. The Transformers Mighty Muggs include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream. These will be available in Spring 2018.
Already, fans have seen both Marvel and Star Wars Mighty Muggs expand with many new reveals since it was originally announced during New York Comic-Con last year. Hasbro is re-imagining the old style and offering fans something new, and these Mighty Muggs features alternate facial expressions that change when the head is pressed down. At ToyFair, Hasbro announced a new wave of Marvel Mighty Muggs, which includes Ant-Man, Wasp, Thanos, Captain America, Iron Man, Star-Lord and Thor.
Mighty Muggs is already a growing brand and Hasbro seems to have confidence in it given the fact that they announced two additional properties as mentioned above. This is definitely a good sign for fans of this line, and the line certainly has potential to continue to grow and expand with more characters and more franchises such as G.I. Joe and Power Rangers.
