A little while back we heard the news of a metallic finished Optimus Prime Mighty Mugg release for SDCC this year, but were expecting at least one other as well.

Today, images have started circulating of the newly announced companion to the Transformers re-release – it’s an X-Men Origins movie version of Wolverine – complete with retractable claws!

Being an Aussie I have no problems with the Hugh Jackman styled design, which I think they have nailed very well. From the side of the box shot here I think there may be some classic “Wolverine scratches” across the artwork around the back.

Overall a pretty cool choice for an exclusive I reckon, and I’m glad to see that there’s life still in the Mighty Muggs brand. Rumours still circulate about a new Transformers line “Revenge of the Fallen” themed Mighty Muggs, but no confirmation on that front as yet.

As I won’t be making it to SDCC this year (just to clarify – I’ve never been to any SDCC’s at all, but there’s always hope!) I’ll be pinning my chances of picking up this Wolverine through either eBay or perhaps an online retailer who starts stocking them after the conference. Out of the 4 SDCC exclusive Mighty Muggs released so far (Commander Gree, Fertility Idol, Peter Parker, Iron Man), I’ve picked up two from online retailers in Australia (Gree, Idol) and hope to one day buy the others without having to sell a kidney.
