Adieu To Muggs?

Word has it that Hasbro is discontinuing their waves of “Star Wars” Mighty Muggs, reportedly because only collectors are buying them, and the toys have not caught on with the general public. Last year, Hasbro discontinued their line of Indiana Jones and Transformers Muggs as well, plus vendors like Target and Wal-Mart dropped all Muggs from their inventory (yet they are still available at Hasbro.com).

However, there is word that Marvel Muggs are still in production, with some new editions (e.g. Deadpool, War Machine, Spidey with removable mask, Iceman, Magneto, Green Goblin) allegedly due for release in 2010.

But who knows? At this point, nothing seems set in stone.
