Giant Robot Delivers

When Giant Robot teams up with Uglydoll, they deliver 10 pounds of fun in a 2 pound box.

Though this group arrived together, they quickly spread out and disappeared across the Ugly Shire.  They are a busy lot, and will keep us on our toes.

I'm forming a tracking party today, and supplying them with cookies and cameras.  When we find these guys, we'll report back.

Luv You Ox of a Different Color

Goodness.  Fea Bea came across another Valentine Ox looking for a ride.

I think Feabs will find a way to tote them both.

But what if there are MORE!  She'll need a bigger wagon, because these Ox's are irresistible.

Ox OXOX Valentine

Fea Bea doesn't share her wagon with just anyone.  But the charms of Ox worked their magic on her.  Just imagine having the charm and good looks of Ox.  Hey!  You can!

Found a couple on Amazon, but with magnetism like his, they won't last long.  

Best Friends Valentine

Fea Bea likes hanging around with these two Best Friends from Uglydoll.  Wedgehead and Ox have been best friends for years and they know how to represent you on Valentine's Day.

A piece of candy is sweet in the moment.  The sweet on these two never fades.

Yes!  You get both of them holding half of the Best Friends heart.

Cute factor: 10+
Price:  Cheaper than chocolates.
Happy memory factor: 10++

You can get them from the Uglydoll Store, or maybe your local toy store.

All Keyed UP!!!

Uglydoll keys are here.  And they rock.  Four keys with double-sided fun.
I'm getting them all.
It's not too many keys.
It's a lock shortage.

Uglydoll Magnets

Badge Bomb pumped up the art from the Uglydoll buttons and transformed them into MAGNETS!

This is my favorite set with four of the big star original line-up of Uglydolls: Babo, Wage, Wedgehead, and Ox.  There are other sets if you don't see your favorite here.

So far I've only found these on Tainted Visions ebay offerings and have not found them elsewhere.  In the new era of Uglydom I no longer have any idea what is coming, when, or where.  I'm now using the method of stumbling across new Ugly items and grabbing them when I can. The magnets were a fun surprise!

Anyway, as I stumble, I will share!

Uglydoll Backpack with Benefits

The Uglydoll Backpack is best friends with the Uglydoll Lunch Kit, and right now you can get the Lunch Kit FREE when you purchase the backpack from ToysRUs!

Ox Lunch Kit is also available!

These deals usually come and go quickly. Offer is good online and in their store locations.

I like this backpack.  It's roomy with one large zipper compartment and one smaller zipper compartment on the bottom front.  That's the black part in the pic.  It has adjustable straps.  Don't let the "toy store" fool you.  It's a great size for adults.
The Lunck Kit is also generously proportioned. I could fit three meals in there plus a cookie!

Uglybuddies

You want the good news first. I can tell.
That's perfect because with Uglydolls the news is ALWAYS good!

I just ordered three Uglybuddies. It was a tough choice but I went with Wedgehead, Wage and Babo  (with their Buddies of course).

These guys are about 9" tall and their Ugly Buddies are about 4".  The little Buddies have a cozy pouch to travel in, but I'm sure you could tuck a little something extra in there with him, like a special note, or Ugly savings cash.

Word around the Uglyverse is that these represent the first Uglydoll plush made in their new partnership with GUND who will manufacture  the plush Uglys in the future. (if you can call the birth of an Uglydoll "manufacture").  Don't be afraid.  This is also good news!  The co-creator, David and Sun-min still have the power! So all is well.
I've also heard these Uglybuddies still have the old Uglydoll tag, rather than the upcoming Gund tag.  So my collector heart must have them prior to the new tag.  Three down, three to go.

There is so much going on with Uglydoll these days my head is in a spin. But I will blog it soon!
They say blogs are a thing of the past.  I say, who cares.  I love doing it. So I'm doin it!
Grab you some Uglybuddies here. Just 20.00! That's only 14.77 for the larger Ugly and 5.23 for the buddie in his pouch.

Make Room for Uglydoll x Funko

Make room on your Uglydoll collectible shelves. Uglydoll and Funko got together and made these funky, funny, squat little figures of our favorite characters, Wage, Ox, Babo, Ice-bat, and Batty Shogun.

Once again, following the Ugly Brick Road has lead me to a new experience in toys. I'd never heard of Funko, but now that Uglydoll has joined the line-up, I may have to pick up some of their other amazing pieces. Funko has a nicely endowed website with a Forum of devoted fans and collectors.  Some were unaware of Uglydoll, and I was unaware of Funko, so we'll all have loads of newness to enjoy.

Cool looking window boxes make these just that much more desirable.
Mr. and Mrs. Kasoogi's investigative work on the Funko site makes me suspect these will be 3.75 inches tall and somewhere between 7-12 bucks each, with possible articulation. They are part of their Pop Vinyl collection along with Micky House,  V for Vendetta figure, Tinker Bell and more. Sweet!

My next investigative task is to discover a release date.

Ox in the Box

Looks who's almost here!  Uglydoll Jack in the Box...but I call him Ox in the Box. Jack? I don't think so.

I've been waiting all year for this guy to pop up.

My fingers are ready to turn the crank.

And LOOK at the tin box he's in.  Adorable Uglydoll art around every corner.

OK.  I do often get excited about upcoming Uglydoll items, but I'm quadruple excited by Ox in the Box.

Pre-order him here. 

The Case of the Missing Coffee

What happened to my coffee?  Gone again.  And I didn't drink it.  So who did?  Clearly a case for sophisticated intellect to solve.
Normally this would be a job for Dr. Max Abima who can trace his lineage directly back to Sherlock Holmes.  When he puts on his detective hat, scamps head for the hills.

Unforunately.......Max took a three-tiered fall this weekend.  (He'll be fine. More on this later)

With Max busy on the mend, who do we call?
The Kasoogi's of course!  With their scientific minds and innate curiosity they will get to the bottom of this in a jiffy.
They jumped at the opportunity and built a camouflaged stakeout. Here we see them watching, but barely.

 They put out of cup of java and waited. Soon the culprits took the bait and made off for parts unknown.  The Kasoogi's pursued and found the pair kicked back in their lair. (It was decaf).

Guilty! But forgiven.

Honey, I Shrunk the Uglydolls

They are tiny. They are awesome. They are Uglydolls.
Uglydoll X Medicom = Giant Fun.

Take em with you in a pocket.  Pose them all over town.  They'll keep you company wherever you go.

You can get them right now, right here. 
Limited numbers, so hop on over and grab a set.  Yep, they come in a set!  Too cool!

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.
