Uglycorn is Here

Uglycorn

David Horvath said the Uglycorn does not fly alone and he wasn't kidding.
The pictures says it all.  They are complete mystical wonders.  We adore them!  They adore US!
They've been known to gently rub our foreheads with their soft, plushy golden horns, thereby producing waves of happiness and giggles.  Also better for a headache than aspirin in my experience.

Thank you David and Sun-Min for another miracle.
===============

Blue Uglycorn is the San Diego Comic-Con Limited Edition.
Pink Uglycorn is the Toy Tokyo release.
Get em now!
Big Blue Uglycorn at Giant Robot
Little Pink Uglycorn at Ugly Web store and at Toy Tokyo.

Uglydoll Hats!

The SDCC booth photo from Uglydolls Facebook is exciting in so many ways.  From the rainbow of Uglydolls along the wall, to all the happy people, it's a delightful scene.

But what's that I see?  An Uglydoll HAT?  Oh yeah!

So far I've seen pics of them in blue and pink.  Guess what I'll be wearing this winter! ?

Uglydoll Hat!

Ready, Set, Go for Pink Babo

He's pure pink. Like candy, but better. And I would give all my candy to have him.
In just 12 hours from now, 20 of these delights will blow out of the Giant Robot booth at San Diego Comic Con. There will be no more. Only 20 ever made. He will live on the shelves of the select and lucky few. And he will live in my dreams.

In case you missed the announcement: Sunday, July26. SDCC Giant Robot Booth. 11:00 am.

What a Croc!

Our hats are off to Crocadoca. He's handsome. He's debonair. He wears a fedora, and hangs out with the way cool Bossy Bear and Turtle. What more could you ask for?

Well, just look at that face. Now, imagine it.....glowing.

Don't strain your brain. Instead, click here.

Wowzer. Right?
That's a pic from Uglyblog. Those lovelies are limited edition Glow in the Dark Crocadoca's that will be available at the Toy Tokyo Booth at SDCC on Saturday from noon to 1pm, during David Horvaths signing session.

Got a fav? I'm liking the blue on blue version.

Want one? Me too. If I get any other info on the whereabouts of these fellows following SDCC, I'll post it here pronto. I'm thinking ebay fore sure. Hopefully there'll be a few left for retail release. We shall see.

Sailor Trunko??

News Flash! David just said "Sailor Trunko" on his Twitter. That's it. That's all he said. Take from it what you may. But, WOWZER.

There WILL be a plush released at SDCC. So 2 + 2= Sailor Trunko.
David wrote that his is his favorite limited edition plush so far. It's a must have in my book.


Second News Flash. Uglydoll zipper pulls will be released in the US after the Singapore Comic Convention in August. These can also be used as cell phone toys if you have a phone with the little external antenna. As Gato Deluxe says on Uglyblog, "Only works with cool phones". I have a cool phone. And you thought those Blackberries were cool.

I am already scoping all the places I can hang these.

Anticipation Glows in the Dark

Anticipation Glows in the DARK, comes in 6 colors, and his head turns! I grabbed this pic from David Horvath's Flickr to show what the buzz is about. Their release at San Diego Comic Con 2009 is still weeks away and people are already planning, plotting, saving and scheming to get their hands on these delightful Vinyl Ice Bat Mini Action Figures. Myself included.

I'm amazed that something so bright and exciting can also be so calming and wonderful. Minty and magical. Hot and chilly. Hypnotic yet holistic. Paradox.

To secure a GID Ice Bat, there are several possible strategies.

1. Go to SDCC yourself and get your Ice Bat from the Uglydoll booth. This is by far the most reliable of all courses of action. So if you already have your SDCC ticket, great. If you don't, sorry. The tickets are now sold out for all four days.
2. Find a mule. For those of you new to world of toy questing, this is a term used to describe a person who agrees to attend the event and purchase by proxy your wish list of toys. Some people mule from the goodness of their heart. They love collecting, and they want to share the love. They pick up your item for you and you pay only the cost of the item plus shipping. For others, it's strictly business and you pay for their service. Many mules fall in a middle category. They are collectors who want to help you out. They charge a modest fee that helps them cover the cost of the tickets and the purchase of their treasures. In any case, make sure you settle on all fees before the event. Also be careful to select a person with a reputation for honesty.
   
3. Place a pre-order on ebay, where you will pay the ridiculously high price of over 100.00 for a set of 6. NOT recommended. See below.
   
4. Buy from retailer after SDCC. Recommended!
5. Go to Singapore and attend the Singapore Toy, Game and Comic Convention August 13th through the 16th. The Uglydoll booth will have some there.
   
   

This is what David Horvath had to say about availability of GID Ice Bats and SDCC.

"We do not make SDCC exclusives.
That has always been our company policy.

More info soon!

I would not go to Ebay for these though.

We will have them at the Singapore show in August as well."

What I take from this statement is that there will be stock left from SDCC. My guess is that the stock will be available at least through Giant Robot, and perhaps even other retailers. If you don't live near a Giant Robot store you may want to familiarize yourself with their web store prior to the release of the Glow in the Dark Ice Bats just in case the dash for the Bats if fast and furious. You know Ice Bats. They may fly out of there in a hurry.

As I sign off I'm picturing my six little GID Ice Bats, wing tip to wing tip, lined up along the edge of my shelf, shining happily, day or night. Anticipation Does Glow in the Dark.

Check back for updates.

Glow in the Dark Ice Bat Action Figures

I would not have thought today could get any better. Then I looked at Uglyblog and saw these glowing orbs of color and Batitude. David Horvath let the Bat out of the Bag, and it is gorgeous x6. Six Glow in the Dark Ice Bat Action Figures in 6 different colors are to be released at San Diego Comic Con.

You get all six in the collection when you purchase a case. No chase. No mess. No worries. Just pure Ice Bat. I just can't take my eyes off this photo I copied from Uglyblog. Merzermizing and warm, yet chilly. How does David do it?

Let the plotting and planning begin. Just how do we Uglydoll fans who live too far from San Diego get our hands on the handsome GID Mini Ice Bats? It takes some effort, I can tell you. And some cash. And some luck. It doesn't hurt to have a Winged Abima to assist you. My Winged Abima has some secret magic qualities that can bolster the odds in my favor. And I plan to tap into that full force. I'll need it to land a box of these lovies. But I will. As David says, STAY POSITIVE. And I'm positive I'll find a way. It's love!
