If you believe that you’re never too old to play with toys, Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs line of vinyl toys has what you want. “Made from 100% recycled awesome,” as it says on the box, Muggs are artistic urban vinyl-inspired dolls that stand about 6 inches tall. Each starts with a similar, bulbous body shape, then gets a cartoon-inspired imagining of characters from the “Star Wars” universe, “Indiana Jones” films and Marvel comics (GI Joe and Transformers are on the way). And for every Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones or Spider-Man, there are obscure characters such as Lando Calrissian, Short Round and Red Skull.
But perhaps the best thing about them is the price: Most common Muggs are at stores like Target for as little as $9.99. For the artistically inclined, pick up the blank white or black doll and make your own. Post pictures of your custom doll here.




Buy Mighty Muggs directly from Hasbro or try Entertainment Earth for boxed sets.
