Granted they improved upon them vastly. yeah, I guess the idea behind the Muggs came from the Vinyl figure market but I would have to disagree and say that Hasbro pretty much started the small deformed figures trend. |

In America maybe. They did it with every license imaginable in Japan years ago. Also, that Smurf is not a good looking figure. Not at all. |

Hasbro isn't the first to use these styles, but they are pretty close to being the best...
Horrible smurf btw...

It's a horrible looking figure, and I don't like the Smurfs anyway. Double lose!  |

I saw one of those Smurfs on sale on Ebay a week ago. There's made by Peyo, the Smurfs original company. Even the box looks like a Mighty Muggs box.

As Ive said bfore I think Munnies look better than Muggs. (Plus they came 1st) I'm with 7th...Munnies kick the crap out of Mighty Muggs, stylistically. They're just superior in every way. AS for Hasbro starting the mini-figure trend, I disagree in that they started it. They didn't. We've seen lines like this coming out of Japan for ages. You know why hasbro has had so much success with the SHS and related lines? Because unlike those Japanese lines that were previously only available as Imports or through outlets like comic shops, the Hasbro figures are actually affordable AND were made available through means which the average person could acquire them easily enough ( Wal-mart, Target, TRU). Face it...mom's weren't tripping over the aforementioned import lines while shopping with junior at the store...in fact, the odds of most parents (note, most, not all) taking their kid to a comic shop even are slim. SO...to echo what has been said: Hasbro took a pre-existing concept and in several ways improved on it (with GH, SHS, etc). Mighty Muggs are neat enough...but I don't think they're an improvement...merely cheaper and more accessible. |

I like Mighty Muggs better for 2 obvious reasons. Price and Character representation. Also, all Munny's are the same, they're blanks that are done up by mostly graffiti artists. Mighty Muggs have some drastically different shapes (Human Torch and Ghostrider, Galactus, Doc Ock, Yoda and Skrull, Bumble Bee, Mola Ram, Jean Grey, etc.)
As for mini figures, I'd say M.U.S.C.L.E and Monster In My Pocket were some of the first (of course, they didn't have articulation), unless you count Mega's Pocket Heroes (much bigger, granted)
