vending machine toys - marvel mini muggs

[rche]

I hear you wolf.

I can't stand the Mighty Muggs; but when I walked past the vender and saw these I thought "man, my kid would love those things".

They are not big and clunky like the Muggs and they are not statues like the Hero Squad. Somewhere in between and with a Lego like mix and match play value that is spectacular. Plus they are just the right size for 3 year old hands, he can actually put them together by himself with no help (major win factor for a 3yo), and he can hide other small toys in their heads.

We have had these for a week or so and my son gets them out each day and assembles/disassembles them about twenty times while inventing crazy games about what they are doing. More fun value from a 75c toy for him than several of the 19.99 items that came around last month.

good times

so there's a Thor too?

[rche]

yep, there is a Thor, tho he looks a little odd since the wings are painted on the side of his round head.

I just ordered a case of these little guys. If anyone is interested in them, I will post them up in the marketplace when they come in.

i'll take 2 sets of them !

[rche]

I bought a bunch of these little guys and have some sets up for sale in the marketplace if anyone was interested in them.

The vendors at my local store where I originally saw these have already changed the machines out and put some rubber sticky hands in their place. They were just about sold out of the vending machine a couple of days ago and now they are just plain gone. I have never actually seen a vending machine that empty before. I am surprised they did not reload it with more of these.

Oh they are so cute, I love that Spidey and Captain America is very cute too. Ooo, will have to check out the marketplace...can't find 'em, can you post a link please?

[rche]

help in naming my auction for these vending toys

Hiya folks,

I have a few of these sets of vending toys up on the ebay right now, but am having a hard time getting attention to them. I am pretty sure I could get rid of the ones I have left if I could get folks to look at them.

Any suggestions for keywords to use in my title? Right now it looks something like Hulk, Spider Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America vend toys

thanks

Rche,

I'd Put Mighty-Mugs In the TITLE ... somewhere's ..., then in your Descripton..., maybe show a pic with the Actual Mighty Mug, then call then Mini-Mugs ..., ofcourse. Just a thought.

Hiya J, thanks for the input.
I have a ref. to Muggs in the description, but I wasn't sure about putting anything like that in the title. I don't want to mislead anyone, plus I would have to show one of these guys next to a real Mugg which I do not have. Maybe I should try the infamous NOT in front of Mighty Mugg.

Mini Mighty Muggs?

Do you have that many left, Rche?

[rche]

I have quite a few of these left. Just no more Thors.
