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 Robots Released


Why do I bother to try to pick just one when David Horvath continues to make it impossible?
Aren't they awesome?  I've been saving my Ugly dollars for the 2010 line-up so I ordered all three Tin Robots at once!
There's always the question of "do I stretch out the fun and order one at a time".  Usually, my answer is yes UNTIL they are released.  Then the answer is NO, get them NOW.  Ok.  That's me.

Already got my Uglydoll Keepsake Tin Box.  I know the robots will be just a high quality, the paint just as glossy, the colors just as pleasing. Soon I'll post  in depth on the amazing Keepsake Box.  It will knock your sox off.

Tin Robots are 4.5 inches tall and cost 8.00 each.  Available now at The Official Uglydoll Store. 
They're made by Schylling, a company know for quality.

Uglydoll Blanket YELLOW

My subconscious had chosen BLUE.  Imagine my surprise when my shopping finger clicked YELLOW!

My shopping finger is an expert.

All things Ugly are perfect, so all colors are right!

I think this is destined to spend some time as wall decor in between snuggle sessions.

It's sublime!

Uglydoll Blankets

I am completely and pleasantly surprised to find we will soon have our choice of three Uglydoll blankets!

They are up for pre-order here. 

It's a tough choice between pink, yellow, and blue.  Having chosen blue for the post, I'm guessing my deep subconscious likes it best.

The blanket is 60"x48", so it's plenty large enough to cuddle up under, or throw across the foot of my bed.

I love the little appliqué figures of the Uglydolls circled around the first Uglydoll, Wage.  Very cute design.

Once again, Sun-min Kim, David Horvath and Uglydoll have provided me the perfect opportunity to flex and stretch my patience muscle.  I just hope the pre-order period goes FAST.

Coldy Holdy Ice Bat at the Big Office.

Coldy Holdy Ice Bat lit up the sky on a cold and rainy day as he made his first visit to the Big Office. Everyone was suitably enamored. He promised to return regularly and spread the love.

This photo is one of the many amazing and delightful works of my favorite Flickr photographer, Photo David. I could do an entire blog inspired by his photos alone.
