    I'm a HUGE Mighty Muggs fan, I have all of the other ones, so I'll be looking for these soon enough.

    I'll say I'm at least interested, I've got the six that were already released all MISB. The one thing I like about Mighty Muggs is their packaging is just as displayable as the figure inside.

    I can understand why some people don't really like the mighty muggs. It took me a minute to warm up to them. But for some reason, now, I love em. I don't what it is

    why would they not make thundercraker and skywarp its like selling starscream all over gain only with black and blue paint. They would easily make money off it since they already created the mold.

    You mean simply make more seeker repaints? Problem with that is only Starscream is the really-well-known one, Thundercracker and Skywarp have been more or less relagated to extra-repaints duty, and while simply repainting Starscream into his seeker bretheren would be a good use of the mold, the general public would not know who they were, and so would not buy a different colored Starscream. The toy repaints at least have mini-bios on the backs of the box, but not MM's.

    Not a big M.m. collector, but I'm loving Prowl and if I can find him released on the street, he's going home with me:p . Maybe Ironhide too.

    If this was a Transformer, yes. But Mighty Muggs all share the same ' mold', except some little extra parts are molded seperately, and these parts are probably very cheap to create anyway.

    There is no sense in releasing repaints of a Mighty Mugg unless the repaint is just as iconic as the regular one. (Black Spider-Man for example). Thundercracker and Skywarp just aren't that iconic or well-known to ' the masses', although some of these people are bound to buy an Optimus or Starscream because they remember them from their youth.

    In the end, except for the couple of added parts, all Mighty Muggs have the same shape, so the appeal of them is the different characters to make them look different. A color change probably won't cut it.
