My Friend Dave Custom

What could be better than a visit from My Friend Dave? Three My Friend Dave customs!

This much handsomeness can only be the work of David Horvath.

From the Giant Robot Biennale 2 Art Show, he is the compadre of Sun-Min's Monster from a slightly earlier post.

I've been asked which is my favorite. With Horvath creations picking favorites is futile, because they are all unique and equally fan-tas-tic! As are we all!

If you want Dave to be your friend too, checkout CS Toys. They have a few Dave's, but grab yours soon. Experience tells me they will disappear.

CS Toys has Dr. Max Abima's Super Seal of Approval.

New Uglies for the Holidays

We began celebrating our Holiday's on Solstice and continued right through Christmas Day. Midnight is near and before we say goodbye to Christmas 2009 we wanted to say Happy Holiday's and Merry New Year to all our Uglydoll friends and family.

We welcomed a lovely new group of Uglydolls into our ever-expanding happy family. Pictured here from left to right are Wedgehead "Nevada Cat", Little Blue Ox, Suntan Target, Two Foot Fea Bea, Green Pointy Max "Chris", and Plunko "Sunny".
In front of Suntan Target is a set of Uma Series 5 from Giant Robot that I've been wanting for months, and I was fortunate to receive for Christmas!

The biggest surprise in this group was Green Pointy Max. Receiving him was one of the highlights of my life. . He was on my front porch when I came home inside a box inside a big white Santa-style bag. When I opened it and saw that face I was filled with joy.

He is an expression of the generosity and kindness of those who gave him to me, and one that I will treasure always.

This was the best Solstice / Christmas I've ever had, and Green Pointy Max helped push it over the top. You know, I think I'll go hug him now!
----------------------------------------
Want your own? All of these amazing goodies are available, or soon will be. Check Giant Robot for the Uma and also for Uglydoll plush. Of course the Official Uglydoll Store has all the current Uglydoll lineup. If you want Uma, I suggest a purchase sooner than later. They've been around awhile and could disappear from the shelves any day now.

My Friend Dave x 4

Meet My Friend Dave and his friends, Dave, Dave and Dave.

These fabulous guys are new figures from Uglydoll creators David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. He stands about 5 inches high, and has spikes all along his back.

You might think the best thing about these guys is their undeniable good looks. But consider their personality described in this quote from the insert that comes in a DAVE package.

"MY FRIEND DAVE means we may sometimes feel so lonely but we are never alone because we are ALL ONE! Because we all parts of one whole, so is this gift to you. While Sun-Min and David created him, T9G sculpted him, and INTHEYELLOW produced him, bringing him to life is up to you. When you join in and show us what you've got, we all come alive together. Always feel brave! Like Dave."

The yellow and black figures are "blanks", meaning they are the under-color yet to be adorned. The green Dave is a limited edition from the Giant Robot Biennale. The pink fellow is from Design Festa in Tokyo, Oct 2009. Also a limited edition.

Coming up in January 2010 we will welcome two custom Dave's into our family AND a Monster custom by Sun-Min. Pics coming soon.
