Red Tooth Wedgehead VINYL

I am SO psyched. Just saw on Uglyblog that my beloved Red Tooth Wedgehead is being immortalized in VINYL.



David Horvath mentions in his blog that great time and care was taken to insure that the blue of the body matched the blue of the arms. The Uglydoll company always comes through with a top quality, safe, and amazing product.

The release is just around the corner at New York Comic-con. Since I can't travel to New York, I will start early to develop a strategy to get one of these beauties. I'd like to avoid paying flipper prices on ePay, but that may be my only recourse. Have any suggestions on how to get one straight from Comic-con?

My Red Tooth Wedge wanted me to post his picture too, so you can see the amazing resemblence to his Action Figure. They nailed it, didn't they!



The creative genius of David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim rolls on and on.

With the exception of the Uglydogs, I have a set of the Critterbox release of Uglydolls first Vinyls, and they are top notch. I am so looking forward to the next generation of action figures from Uglydoll.
My impression is that the upcoming action figures will be slightly smaller than the Critterbox Vinyls, and will move at waist, rather than at the neck.

Below I've included a pic of the older Critterbox version of Vinyl Wedgehead standing next to a snack bag of Cheetos, Little Ice Bat, and Little Tray. It's a good size comparison. Wedge is wearing his neck warmer because he is out on a visit to a friends office.


For those of you who are now saying, hey, there is ALREADY a Vinyl Wedge, so what's the big deal, I have two words. Red Tooth!

Note: The Critterbox Vinyls are no longer in production.

Fantasy Christmas List

Little Weloos Mom suggested the Fantasy Christmas List of things you'd buy if you were rich rich rich.
So far I've come up with a couple items, but more to follow.

The Batman Button. $50.00





Of course I grab this set of Uglydog Vinyls with bowl for 1500.00
And I'd grab a set for Mary.




Angrite Meteorite. One of only 12 known to exist on earth.
This one weighs in at 5.26 pounds. Too big for a pocket worry stone,
but perfect for a door stop, or to stuff behind the car tire on a hill.
$15,548,000.00. Yep, fifteen mil and change.

Green Abima is in the House

No adult supervision leads to all kinds of fun. As soon as Winged Green Abima arrived from Tokyo he whipped the cape off my old Ice Bat and got spooky.

His black wings are velvety soft. Bright yellow eyes give rise to a very cheerful expression. Green Abima is from a limited edition of 25, from Uglycon Tokyo 2008. Four color sets of Abima's with Wings were released at Uglycon:

• Our Green boy pictured here
  
• Red Abima with black wings
  
• Black Abima with red wings
• Pink Abima with blue wings
  

Each is a limited run of 25. We count ourselves lucky to have one. He brings happiness to our home, and a smile to my face each time I see him.

Stay tuned for photos of our other Uglycon treasures.


Green Abima is another brilliant manifestation from the mind of Uglydoll creator, David Horvath.

It's Johnny's Birthday

Have you ever heard the Beatles song that says "It's Johnny's birthday, it's Johnny's birthday..."? Is that the title as well? Anyway, the way-back machine is not working perfectly today, but I think it might have been on the White Album.
Well, today it IS Johnny's birthday. Happy Birthday John Lennon. And Happy Birthday Sean Lennon. A shared birthday is very special.
Love to you John, and Sean.

Cloning Sheriff Dart

I'm not yet a big fan of cloning, but if we're going to clone, for heavens sake let's clone Sheriff Dart. Standing between innocent renters and surprise eviction is Sheriff Thomas J Dart of Cook County, Illinois, a county that includes Chicago. , who today refused to do the dirty work of banks by putting unsuspecting renters out of their homes and on the street. Some say he is breaking the law he swore to uphold. Others, like myself, see a heroic person who stands up for what is right, even if it means going against established laws designed to protect some and not others. He may suffer from this. Might even lose his job for taking this stand. But he will not lose my respect, his self-respect, or the personal qualities that make him say NO in the face of powerful, greedy forces bent on mindlessly ripping lives apart.
This article explains the plight of renters facing eviction because their landlord did not pay the mortgage. Can the banks do any more to ruin their reputation? We shall see.

After we clone Sheriff Dart, let's spread him around on school boards, committees, and even up at the highest government levels. Any place that we need integrity and a cool eye for fairness.

Next I plan to navigate over to The Cook County Sheriff's Office and give Sheriff Dart a personal high five for being a real, feeling, thinking human being! I invite you to join me! Here's the email address. You can also see his picture there. On top of all his virtues, he's also a fairly handsome fellow.

Choco may not have made it in the chocolate factory, but he has other skills. Here he is seen creating his Choco's Chicko Not-So-Sicko Soup that put us all to rights within an hour. Target says it will put hair on your chest. He should know.
