Uglydoll Pillows

This pic from Uglydoll's Booth made me shout when I saw the Uglydoll Pillows!  Look close.  They're there and they're square.

Uglydoll Tags with Max Abima



Max completed stage 2 of the Uglydoll Tag Project. He recruited some other members of the Abima family to the Tag Team.  They were very helpful, usually.

Here's what he used to make it happen.

  • Uglydoll Tags.  Max used the tags from 2 foot and Classic Uglys.
  • Collector Card Wall Display by Collector's Museum. 16 x 20 (Max used two)
  • Wall hanging hardware
  • Hands
  • Virgil, Beamer(in the hat)  and Wee Abima
We found these neat Card Displays for 50% off on sale at 15.00 each.
The frame allows for sliding the individual card holders in and out of the display unit for opening and viewing.

"See what you can do with a pair of hands!" Dr. Max Abima

Edited to add a link to the Wall Unit. You can find them here, and here, but sorry, not on sale.

Tag Team with Max Abima


Max Abima is a busy guy. Among other things, he's a doctor,  consultant, ambassador, writer, editor, therapist, actor, travel planner, and bush pilot.

But Max knows the value of some good down time. Here we find him sorting and arranging our growing collection of Uglydoll tags.  He can hardly wait to show you his newest fun project. Tomorrow!

Did we mention Max is also an interior designer?

Nandy Bear


Let's hear it for Nandy Bear Learning Express Exclusive from Uglydoll.  He's like a blue piece of toast that you can love and hug and keep forever.

No surprise that I've been getting some messages from other Uglydoll fans about the how's and where's of adopting  Nandy Bear.  So today I went hunting  for you.  I contacted the Learning Express home office with your questions.   As soon as I hear back, I'll post it here.

If you live near a Learning Express, it may be as simple as walking in to get your Nandy Bear! Here's the store finder link.  But alas, most Ugly fans must adopt by mail.

Anyone with more info than I have is invited to email me, and I'll happily spread the news.

These guys come in 3 sizes: 2 foot, Classic, and Clip-on.

UPDATE!!  Good news!  It's confirmed.  You can get your Nandy Bear by calling any Learning Express store, and they'll ship to you.

Uglydoll Calendars Up Close 2011


Uglydoll Calendars 2011 came today. .  Each month of the mini and standard size calendar shows a different charming Uglydoll photograph up top, with the amazing art of David Horvath sprinkled about the bottom.
 Each calendar has a sheet of bonus Uglydoll stickers! I let the sheets peak out from beneath the calendars so you could get an idea of how awesome they are without giving away the surprise. The mini calendar has a mini sheet of stickers, and the biggy has a bigger sheet!

Both calendars show September, October, November, and December 2010 together on one page for easy reference, and to let you get started using the your new Uglydoll Calendar right away. 

Color in cheerful abundance,  David's more-than-awesome art, together with adorable real-life Uglydoll photos make these calendars 1000% Ugly!  And a complete winner!

Those who get Uglydoll calendars each year will notice a solid departure from the entirely art-driven  Uglydoll calendars of past years. Though I confess to LOVING the old calendars with LOTS David's drawings, text bubbles everywhere, and quirky Uglydoll holidays, I am all on board with the NEW as well.  The 2011 Calendars are certain to make me smile every time I look at them.  How many things can I say that about!

I can already hear my own Uglydolls hoping to make it into next years calendar!  There's a little model in everyone, I guess. 

Oh. Mini Calendar. March.  Laugh Out Loud Funny!  Oh my gosh. Wait till you see.  One clue. Pointy Max.

For Love of Uglycorn


Little wonder I'm getting a lot of questions from online Ugly friends and family about the amazing and desirable Uglycorn. In fact, I'm hearing from friends I didn't know I had.  I like it!

The questions are all the same, with minor variations.  Where can I get them?


If you act soon you can get the Little Pink Uglycorn Here at the Official Uglydoll Store or
Here at Toy Tokyo or
Go to their store in New York.
Little Pink is the Toy Tokyo Exclusive. Price 15.00 plus shipping.

Classic size Blue Uglycorn is available in very limited numbers here at Giant Robot.  Price 30.00 plus shipping

Will Blue Uglycorn go up for sale on the Official Uglydoll Web Store with the Little Pink Uglycorn?
Word is the Blue will not be put on the Official Uglydoll Web Store, but only at Giant Robot and a smattering of other select small retailers of the walk-in toy store variety. Sorry but I don't know the locations of these stores.
A very few may make it to New York Comic-Con.

My unofficial and strictly Ugly fan advice is to get your Uglycorn while you can.  Holding Uglycorn is a truly wonderful experience.
