Yup. Can't figure out exactly what they are supposed to be or why someone would want to buy one, but I have seen them at a few places, including ToysRUs.

I saw some the other day at a music store. They look like mini punching bags. are they mexican jumping beans wrapped in marvel colors? I waste enough money so i didnt give it another glance

The local Toys R Us has had them for a while. Much like others have mentioned, I can't really fathom the appeal, and have thus wasted my money elsewhere. ;)

My Nephew plays with these little plastic pill shaped things with a weight inside of them. They flip-flop down slopes and are amusing to children. Perhaps these Marvel beens are from a similar vine.

I haven't bought any either., I just saw them for the first time, on Saturday, at my work. I thought that it was a neat concept, but I myself probably won't be buying any, unless of course, the next set has both, the Basil Elks Basilisk, & Madcap in it. :grin:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those are the same product, Bud. There are a lot of different Mighty Beanz out there.

Almost like a combination Weeble/Slinky, but hey, who's to say what kids like these days.

I've bought a couple packs.
I have Loki, Giant-Man, and Iron-Fist.. Might Beanz are ahead of HeroCLix in that regard.
I've also got Abomination, Annihilus, Kang, and Super-Skrull.

Isn't it weird, how big namers, like Juggernaut, Silver Surfer, Angel, Archangel, "Grey" Hulk, Rogue, Storm, Kingpin, Toad, Typhoid Mary, Pyro, Blob, Thanos, Apocalypse, Carnage, Ghost Rider, Nomad, Jubilee, Psylocke, & Dark Phoenix are not apart of the first set, do you think that they'll be in the next set?

Yea.......i seen them also,and i like them.They have characters that hero clix dont have....and mabey you can use them as beads to mark your turns.Just get the same ones that they have for hero clix.If they went down in price,i might get sum.

I've got a handful of them - friend of mine saw a pack that all the Beanz had fallen loose and bought them for me because they included Giant-Man (Pym is my favourite Marvel hero), Dock Ock, Red Skull, the Beast and Dr. Strange (all faves of mine). Essentially they're like glorified pet rocks, I think - they look amusing and just kinda' sit there (well, wobble there). :)

And now we have TMNT Beanz! One more step ahead of Clix :)

The race tracks are fun, and you can let enemies duke it out - we even had Sabretooth knock Wolvie off the track once.

To fill the massive void in my clix life between CM and Unleashed I ahve collected the marvel mighty beans....they are in regards to randomness vastly superior to clix since you get 5 beans per 6 bucks and you get an assortment like magic cards 1 rare 2 uncommon and 2 common,

And thus because I am weak.....I have a full set....

Super Skrull is my fav....

DC, G.I.Joe, & MOTU/POP Beanz would be cool.

i was thinking about getting some, then i realised they would just sit and collect dust (things in AZ do that alot) and i would rather collect miniatures that were, well, not limbless bean freaks, its a cool idea, and i would collect if they were cheaper

Only Namor with his little strip of shorts looks sillier.

Non-clix-beanz are:
Ant-Man, Iron Fist, Power Man, (Peter Parker), Loki, Punisher, Black Bolt, aforementioned Atlantean, Dark Phoenix.

The beginnings of a good Clix set!
