WIN! Mugg Yourself a Top Transformer at Vinyl Hotspot This Week!

Q: What’s 6” tall and made of ‘100% recycled awesome’?

It’s a Mighty Mugg, of course – and thanks to the lovely people at Forbidden Planet Limited, Vinyl Hotspot has four Transformers Mighty Muggs to be won at Forces of Geek!

Up for grabs: the four ‘bots of the Apocalypse! Yes, it’s Mighty Muggs Transformers Wave 1, each in his own custom box – including Soundwave, the favourite of the Muggs’ sole designer Chris Hicks.


Along with Optimus Prime, Megatron and movie-hero Bumblebee, they’re all waiting to bring their war to your toy shelves.

All you need to do is read the rest of this column (yeah, you so knew there was a catch!) and leave a comment on the end – tell us why you love Mighty Muggs!

PLEASE READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW.

To find out if you’re a winner, tune in to next fortnight’s Vinyl Hotspot column!

If you’re intrigued, but you don’t yet have a clue as what a Mighty Mugg may be – well, where’ve you been hiding? Made by Hasbro, these are the latest, hottest, edgiest designs in art toy culture – they’re 6” tall, chunky, urban and (dare I say it?) cute. They feature bright, eye-catching colours and a strong, distinctive design to bring your favourite science fiction and superhero characters to vibrant life.

If you head over to the Forbidden Planet website, you’ll see they’re available as a glorious assortment of Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers and Indy characters. They’ve got a lot of presence and a lot of humour – once you’ve got one, you know you’ll have to keep building your Mighty Muggs collection!

What are Mighty Muggs? These are the guys that will bring urban vinyl tearing through the toy shelves and into the mainstream.

You might even say, ‘Mighty Muggs, roll out!’

I currently have a Dr Doom Mighty Mugg sitting on my desk. He seems lonely. Therefore I should get a transformers prize.

Til All Are One!

20th century cool meets 21st century quirky... what's not to love about the Muggs ? The folks who design these things really do an unbelievable job - whether its Bumblebee, Ghost Rider or Storm Shadow ! I seem and think... *want*

Denny said...

It's not often that you find yourself hoping and pleading to be Mugged.

Pretty please? :)

I love the mighty muggs. They don't disapear on the shelf like other figures. I have a star wars one and I would love one of the transformers for my son although my husband might fight him for it.

Being the only guy left in IT here at our station, I think I need some more male influence around here.

I would be a hero if I could present my 7 year old daughter w/ a BumbleBee Mighty Mugg. Because her daddy has the Star Wars collection of MM, they are cool enough for her to own. There's my reason - they're cool and I'm trying to buy my daughter's love. :)

I love Mighty Muggs. I've got a few from the Star Wars and Indy ranges and a couple of the Marvels. I think Logan might be my favourite.
