Uglydoll Action Figures Series 2

Look what David just shared on Facebook. I must summon a calm from deep within or I'll just implode with anticipation. No one will know what happened to me.

Romeo Wage Goes to Work


Meet Romeo. He a classic Uglydoll Wage with personality to spare. Today he took a break from his regular job as assistant bookseller to accompany a friend to their job for the day. It's been an exciting trip with stop-offs at the library and coffee shop. Everywhere Romeo goes people fall in love. And not just with him!

He came to us without his original apron, so we made him a new full length apron to suit his work as a bookseller. Like his friend and co-worker, Wade, he like buttons. Here he is wearing a GID Hollis button by Le Merde that he borrowed from Dr. Max Abima. He wears it every day.

Eager to share a smile, he jumps at the chance to brighten a day. See, he wants to brighten YOUR day. That's our Romeo.

Secret Mission Wage (in black) is still available here.

Uglydoll Zipper Pull / Cell Hanger

Uglydoll Zipper Pull / Cell Hangers. Coming very soon. Collecting these will be fun and affordable. Time to start thinking of all sorts of places to hang them and ways to use them. They are a great pocket sized gift too! Who wouldn't love one?

Of course each of my Uglydolls wants a zipper pull of himself! It's like a mini-action figure!

Shipping in April 2010.

Dr. Max Abima Prescription #2


You are who you are. No matter what others may say, celebrate your uniqueness. Hold on to it like a rare treasure and never let it go. If you have four fingers and no thumb , don't hide it. Instead, buy 8 amazing rings. Some of your friends may have two fingers and three eyes. Or one eye! That's ok too. It's what's inside that's important. Treat others with kindness. Keep your teeth clean and your plush free of dust. And be honest. It works for Dr. Max.

Installment #2 in Dr. Max Abima's Prescriptions for a happy life.

It's Ugly Time

I got this pic from Uglyblog, who got this pic from another blog. It is UGLY TIME! No, your eyes do not deceive you. It's an old style tin Uglydoll clock with the adorable Babo on the face. And are those cookies with numbers in them? That melts my heart. I wonder if Babo alone will adorn the Ugly Clock, or will there be others? To borrow a favorite Bossy Bear phrase...MINE! As soon as they are released...MINE.

I love that this clock has hands rather than some digital display. It restores meaning to the words "half past", or "a quarter till".

Special thanks to Ragandbone.com for the pic.

The Big Toe Collection 2010 Limited Edition

Last year Ox was the Uglyverse Special Limited Edition with 6 amazing colors. We've all been anxiously waiting to know who would be that special Uglydoll this year. Well you may have guessed it by now, but none of my friends did. I gave each friend 8 chances to guess which Uglydoll received that honor this year. One chance for each of Abima's fingers. No one guessed Big Toe. So that makes him the perfect and most surprising choice!

Which is your favorite flavor of Big Toe? So far I'm torn between the green on the bottom left, and the one next to him in the middle. We have a debate in progress over just what color that is. Three votes for orange so far. I say it's not orange. Can "not orange" be considered a color? So far, "not orange" is one of my top two picks for adoption. I think his color along with the simple black nose and light eyes are an understatement that says "Classy" without screaming it. Note: You cannot BE classy while screaming about it.
The green fellow with yellow eyes is also classy, in a Clark Gable sort of way. He's coming home for sure.

All of these gorgeous Big Toe variations rock the Uglyverse. They are due out in April.

New Uglydolls Blowin My Socks Off

Look on the back of the box! It's the new 2010 Uglydoll Action Figures. We have Uglydog, Uglworm, Poe, Big Toe, Trunko, and Peaco. I'm dizzy just thinking about. I was keeping my fingers crossed for Uglyworm, and boy did that pay off. I highly recommend finger-crossing for the big things in life.

That's not all the Ugly news for today. But I'll let this awesomeness rest on your mind a little while, and soon be back with more.

Each of the 6 figures comes in 2 colors, no repeaters. Oh, and they are still a whopping 3 inches tall. Plus they come in those totally adorable and collectible window boxes. Reminds me of the larger Critterbox Uglydolls of days gone bye!
