Uglydoll Tin Robots are HERE!

My three Uglydoll Tin Robots are here.  I've been admiring them all day.  Their boxes were a big surprise.  I shouldn't be surprised by the creative punch of Uglydoll at this point, but I AM!

How can I tell you how much fun these boxes are.  They are covered in David Horvath art, and little text bubbles that make us laugh and laugh.


         Look.....................
Here you see the back and two sides of the boxes.  Get a load of that big blue Uglybot with what appears to be wings and a rocket pack?  HA!  I want him!
If you click the photo it will big up so you can get a closer look at these detailed boxes.

Thought, care, and fun are put into every aspect of an Uglydoll creation.  I sometimes imagine David Horvath at his art station drawing and thinking of little tidbits to tuck here and there that will delight and surprise us.


  INSIDE the front flap of the box you'll find MORE art!  There's even a little Ugly character in there I've never seen before that I would dearly love to adopt.  I won't give away the surprise, but I'll tell you it has one eye.  One-eyed Uglys knock my socks off.  No explaining it.

Check back tomorrow.  If all goes as planned the Robots will be out of the boxes and posing for more pics and MAYBE a Robot Video to share with you!  Woot. You wanna see these bad boys go, don't ya?

Thank you, Uglydoll!  The joy just keeps coming.

Uglydoll Tin Trucks--A Sweet Fleet!

Buying a new truck is always a challenge. It has to fit the budget, look sharp, and be reliable. All of these Uglydoll Tin Trucks fit the bill.

So which one fits my personal needs? Pencil holder trucks or bank truck? Now that's a tough one.

I'm gonna have to go with Pencil Truck. It fills a need plus will be visible on my desk at all times. Perfect. But which one? Now that is the question. That Ice Bat truck is very appealing on the bottom right.




Or maybe a Bank Truck! At 14.99 each I can easily save enough money to have an entire FLEET of Uglydoll Tin Trucks!

Which one do you want???

Uglydoll Alarm Clock

What time is cookie time? All the time! Well at least according to this Uglydoll Alarm Clock. It's part of the new Uglydoll Tin series of goodies. Those are real metal bells on top to ring in the morning or clang at cookie time. Babo says the hands point to the number of cookies you get at that time. And he includes BOTH hands. It's a fun game to brush up the on addition skills, and tasty too. Let's see. 9+3= cookies. Got it.

It's 6 inches tall, runs on batteries and comes in a window box. Retails at 16.99. I've saved up the money and dusted off a spot on my nightstand.

That's Babo and Ox on the face.

In 2009 we saw the Ox Collection that included six different colors of classic sized Ox in limited numbers. Now he's on the clock. It's must be pretty good to be Ox these days! And then there's Ox in the Box. Stay tuned fellow Ugly fans!
------------------------
In case you missed the Ox Collection you can still adopt one from the Official Uglydoll Store!

Uglybots

Get em out. Wind em up. Watch em go. My prediction is this towering 4 1/2 inches Uglybot will take over your room and you heart in under 2 minutes. I have uncanny accuracy in these matters. You'll see.

These guys are tin with a colorful plastic trim that holds them together. All over their robot bodies you will find your favorite Uglydoll characters. David Horvath knows what makes a robot tick. Just look through the window and you'll know too.

Speaking of windows, these come window boxed. That's extra nice. You could put an empty Uglydoll window box on a shelf and enjoy it. They look that good. Yep.




Uglybots will retail at $7.99, but if you're under 3 years old, put your money away. Only for 3 and over. Sorry. (But put it in an Ugly bank! ) That's only $23.97 for all three
