kaNO X Lord Mesa Custom Ewok Kalua Moola Resin Figure

The folks at Argonaut Resin recently asked kaNO to do a one off custom of one of their newest figures, Kalua Moola by Lord Mesa. For those of you unfamiliar with Lord Mesa, he is a cool west coast Illustrator and new comer to the toy scene. kaNO is always channeling his inner Jedi, so you know he was going to have to do something Star Wars related. He has gone and turned Kalua Moola into one of the world’s most popular Ewoks, Wicket. This little guy would definitely look killer next to kaNO’s Boba-Def figure!

Star Wars Ahsoka Mighty Muggs at The Empire Muggs Back Charity Auction

It seems like everyone has been anxiously awaiting news on the long rumored Ahsoka Mighty Mugg that showed up on the back of a few packages earlier this year. While The Blot doesn’t have any concrete information on the status of the Ahsoka Star Wars Mighty Muggs, I have a hunch the latest addition to The Empire Muggs Back charity auction has probably given us our answer.

The Empire Muggs Back - Custom Star Wars Mighty Muggs Charity Auction
There were two new custom Mighty Muggs added to the Star Wars charity auction website recently, and both were created by Hasbro employees. While the first one is nice, it’s the second one everyone should find extremely interesting as it is described as an Ahsoka unproduced prototype created by Chris Hicks, Hasbro’s Mighty Mugg Overlord. Now I don’t know if the release of this figure spells certain doom for a mass produced Ahsoka Mighty Mugg, but it certainly doesn’t look good for this popular Clone Wars character.

The Ahsoka unproduced prototype Mighty Mugg is currently up for auction here and, as of the time I am writing this, only going for $60. All proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish foundation, so big early and often!
