One-of-a-kind Star Wars vinyl toys for kids' charity

Bonnie sez, "Artists, comic book creators, toy designers, and celebrity fans are getting out their markers, paint brushes and glue guns to transform blank Mighty Muggs into one-of-a-kind Star Wars art to be auctioned by The Make-A-Wish Foundation. These highly-collectible urban vinyl toys have been available in a variety of characters from Star Wars and Indiana Jones, among other comic book and film franchises. For this special project, called The Empire Muggs Back, Lucasfilm asked popular artists, comics book creators, toy designers and celebrity fans to take blank Mighty Muggs (donated by Hasbro) and transform them into their favorite Star Wars characters, scenes, ships and more."

they must not have heard how horrible vinyl is nor the controversy about using it for children's toys due to BPA.

@1 I suspect you don't give hand-painted one-of-a-kind vinyl toys to babies to chew on.

"Mighty Muggs (donated by Hasbro)"

Is this a sign of the impending uncoolness of "urban vinyl?"

What makes the vinyl "urban"?

@4, considering Mighty Muggs have been out for almost two years, you're a little late to make notice of it.

But no, Hasbro is many things, but it ain't cheap!
