Uglydoll Tin Future Cars

I
I'm so excited about these upcoming Uglydoll Tin Future Cars that I can hardly type.  Look at those lines, the retro curves and colors. I see my beloved Wedgehead at the wheel of the black and white.

Uglydoll and Schylling team up again, and what a team they are!  I love ALL the Uglydoll tin toys from Schylling.  I'm sure these will be just as wonderful.

I can hardly wait for more close-up photos along with other angles.

These are extraordinary!  Go Uglydoll Go!

Uglydoll Clock

It's Ugly Time!  You waited all year, and the wait is over.
The amazing Uglydoll Tin Clock featuring the effervescent Babo is now just a click or a drive away.

With cookies decorating each number, it's always cookie time in the Uglyverse.

This clock has it all.  Number, hands, feet,  colors, style, cookies, Babo and bells.  And those bells aren't just fancy, space-age adornments.  They ring!  Yep.  It's an Alarm clock!

So get ready to be on time. Or at least know you're late.

Oh, one thing it may not have is batteries.

I ordered mine here.
It's alarming.  It's charming.

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 Memory Box Where Are You???

Word is out that some stores now have the Uglydoll Memory Box in stock.  I'm in the process of prowling the online stores, but nothing so far.  If anyone finds one online OR in any local toy shop, please comment and let us know when and where.

As soon as I locate one I'll be right here to tell you.

I can tell you for sure that having a Memory Box will be a boon to me.  I can sometimes be very forgetful.

At 7 inches tall and 6 inches wide I can fit a lot of memory in there.

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???

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

More Than An Uglydoll Lunch Box

Goodness. I have wanted an Uglydoll lunch box for years. Though tempted by a Serenity lunch box, I held out, and it was worth the wait. Just look at it. Babo's Bird, Ice Bat, Poe, Wage, Babo, Ox and WEDGEHEAD! Large Ice Bat on the reverse side.

Even more good news! There will be a second lunch box WITH a thermos. Delightful.

I'm already counting the things you can do with a lunch box...besides the obvious.


  • Store photos
  • Stow special trinkets
  • Hidden treasure box
  • Time capsule your grand kids...hehe...just think about that one.
  • Box for my Uglydoll postcard collection
  • Uglydoll zipper pulls hide-out
  • Memory box
  • First Aid Kit
  • Art Piece displayed on shelf
  • Cookie Box
Release of these is just around the corner, so start saving up.
  • Money Box!

Tin Toys from Uglydoll


I'm dancing for joy! Tin Toys from Uglydoll. Trucks, cars, robots, more! I just hauled this image over from David Horvath's Uglyblog. I am SO excited. Uglydoll will debut their latest creative endeavor February 14th at Toy Fair.

I've loved Tin Toys my whole life. I lost my entire Tin Toy collection when my storage room was broken into and cleaned out. I never had the heart to begin again. Until NOW! I'm already planning the location of my new shelves.

This was so totally unexpected. I'm always trying to guess what Uglydoll will do next. I'm never right, but it's fun to guess. (Ok, how could anyone have GUESSED First Mate Trunko.) I didn't even come close to guessing this one! Tin Toys! Way to go Uglydoll!

As soon as I can find some, I will post more pics.

Wanna see something fun? Click here. This is robot webpage for Schylling who will be making the Uglydoll Tin Toys.

My dreams will be filled with hopes that my beloved Wedgehead will someday be a Tin Toy! Gulp.
