Happy Snack Day

On Snack Day Little Red Tooth Wedgehead was apple of everyone's eye today. Or should I say muffin. The snack was so large everyone got a piece and came back for seconds. Our two Babo's agreed to share the cream cheese center. Everyone went away stuffed and happy and wishing David had made another Nap Day for tomorrow.

The question now on all their minds is.... how many more days till the next SNACK DAY. Boy those Uglydolls can eat. And me too!

HAPPY SNACK DAY EVERONE!

Arrivals at the Uglydoll Clinic

When we saw this sad group of Ugly refugees, we pooled our cookie money and adopted them.

Old Cinko, Wage and Babo had their mouths ripped off. It was said to be a dog that did it. Ice Bat fought the dog off but was left with a sad frown. Wedgie stood on his head and the dog left him unharmed and went away.

When this mute little group arrived, we'd never treated this type of Ugly injury before. We researched different types of material for mouths and various kinds of glue to attach them. We had the emergency supplies assembled and waiting for them.

We bought several yards of anything we could find that might serve as a mouth. Nothing looked just like the original mouths, but these guys needed something immediately. So we worked with what we could find in our smallish town.

The glue was even trickier than the mouth material. We bought 3 or 4 kinds of fabric glue. After some hugs, our Winged Abima lulled them to sleep with a song and we went to work on the sleeping Uglies. We surface washed the dirt and goo off. Then gently, tenderly attached new mouths.

When the mouths dried, they looked pretty good, but to the touch, they feel stiff.

When the Uglies awoke, they were chattering and singing with joy. Babo used his new mouth to eat an entire package of Mother's Iced Oatmeal cookies with Molasses. I can't even imagine being Babo without a mouth. It makes me cry.

We didn't hear one bit of complaint out of our darling patients about the work we did.

Someday I would like to find better material, and much better glue for our Uglydoll Clinic. These mouths are a bit too thick, and the glue left them much too stiff. We will do new surgery if we ever find the right supplies. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. These will certainly not be the last Uglydolls we rescue from harms way.

And here they are today, safe and loved.

Red Tooth Wedghead is in the building.

Red Tooth Wedgehead Action Figure has arrived. First rate action figure from his twisty waist, to his bright red teeth. The finish and color on these new Uglydoll Mini Vinyl's is perfecto. The colors are bright without being harsh. Their little arms are also adjustable. This 3 inches of vinyl is packing a full 6 inches of fun or more. They are badder than toys twice their height.
Anticipation can be a slippery slope. You wait, you count the days till release. Maybe you go out and shop for display shelving. After all that waiting, wondering, hoping, imagining, the new release could be blah.
But not with Uglydoll! Nope. These people are the antidote to blah, the Anti-Blah. Everything touched by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim is endowed with something that begins inside them, and seeps into the pours of their creations. It's part imagination, part fun, a big helping of love, and a dollup of the indescribable.
I mean, look at this picture of Red Tooth. What could be better? Did I mention not only does he stand on his head, but OTHER things can stand on his head as well? Wowzer.
Pic was snapped with my cell phone, but you get the idea.
Want an action figure? I'm sure you do! Here's a link.
Have your own Action Figure? Tell us what you LOVE about it.
These come in Blind Boxes, so you have the added fun of not knowing which of the 12 Uglies you'll get. It's a surprise in every box. Or, you can buy an entire case and have one of each.
(Note that Red Tooth is only in one out of ever four cases, so he can be a little hard to get a hold of. However, the regular Wedgehead's that come in each case are beyond excellent. They just have white teeth.)

Red Tooth Wedgehead VINYL

I am SO psyched. Just saw on Uglyblog that my beloved Red Tooth Wedgehead is being immortalized in VINYL.



David Horvath mentions in his blog that great time and care was taken to insure that the blue of the body matched the blue of the arms. The Uglydoll company always comes through with a top quality, safe, and amazing product.

The release is just around the corner at New York Comic-con. Since I can't travel to New York, I will start early to develop a strategy to get one of these beauties. I'd like to avoid paying flipper prices on ePay, but that may be my only recourse. Have any suggestions on how to get one straight from Comic-con?

My Red Tooth Wedge wanted me to post his picture too, so you can see the amazing resemblence to his Action Figure. They nailed it, didn't they!



The creative genius of David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim rolls on and on.

With the exception of the Uglydogs, I have a set of the Critterbox release of Uglydolls first Vinyls, and they are top notch. I am so looking forward to the next generation of action figures from Uglydoll.
My impression is that the upcoming action figures will be slightly smaller than the Critterbox Vinyls, and will move at waist, rather than at the neck.

Below I've included a pic of the older Critterbox version of Vinyl Wedgehead standing next to a snack bag of Cheetos, Little Ice Bat, and Little Tray. It's a good size comparison. Wedge is wearing his neck warmer because he is out on a visit to a friends office.


For those of you who are now saying, hey, there is ALREADY a Vinyl Wedge, so what's the big deal, I have two words. Red Tooth!

Note: The Critterbox Vinyls are no longer in production.
