Star Wars Mighty Muggs Wave 2 Coming Soon

Luke Skywalker in PackageStar Wars Mighty Muggs Wave 2 are supposed to be released sometime in February. Until then here are some higher resolution pictures of both the new characters and their packaging. Wave 2 includes Luke Skywalker (with blue lightsaber), Obi-Wan Kenobi (with blue lightsaber), Mace Windu (with his custom purple lightsaber), and C-3P0 (with no accessory).

Luke SkywalkerAccording to Hasbro Mighty Muggs are a “fun, hip version of the famed character from the Star Wars epic.” (link) I’m not sure how “fun” and “hip” they are, but they are kinda cute with their “large character head and chunky body”. (link) You know, every time I read an official Hasbro description of Mighty Mugs or even just the writing on a Mighty Muggs package I find myself laughing at the ridiculous text their marketing department comes up with. I just can’t figure out who their real market is with the bizarrely silly copy they’re including with these toys. But I guess Ill give them a pass on it for now, as long as this rumored Mighty Muggs Lando figure comes to fruition.
