What a Croc!


Our hats are off to Crocadoca. He's handsome. He's debonair. He wears a fedora, and hangs out with the way cool Bossy Bear and Turtle. What more could you ask for?

Well, just look at that face. Now, imagine it.....glowing.

Don't strain your brain. Instead, click here.

Wowzer. Right?
That's a pic from Uglyblog. Those lovelies are limited edition Glow in the Dark Crocadoca's that will be available at the Toy Tokyo Booth at SDCC on Saturday from noon to 1pm, during David Horvaths signing session.

Got a fav? I'm liking the blue on blue version.

Want one? Me too. If I get any other info on the whereabouts of these fellows following SDCC, I'll post it here pronto. I'm thinking ebay fore sure. Hopefully there'll be a few left for retail release. We shall see.

Chuckanucka's Journey


This is our Chuck. He knows how to have fun. Can you tell?

His latest plan was to journey to the center of the Earth. We explained that would cost all of his savings and take so long he would miss Ugly Independence Day on July 8. So he opted for a free DVD copy of Journey to the Center of the Earth, along with 4 excellent pair of 3-D glasses from our local library.

Not all our Uglydolls wanted to go to the center of the earth, even if they could do it from the sofa. But of course, we a had a few takers.

Ice Bat liked the deep, cold caves but stayed away from the molten core.

Wedgehead thought the mining car ride was the most exciting. Like a roller coaster!

And Chuck? He just liked hanging with his friends. There's no place like home.

Who got the 4th pair of 3-D glasses, you must be wondering. I did.

Make way for Uppy


Uppy is part of the new Uglydoll line-up for 2009. And he's in Pre-order status. That's code for, get ready, make space, here he comes!

His color reminds me of the delicious berry color of one of the six Ox's that are out for Year of the Ox. (A post is coming on those guys soon.)

I love those ears. Kinda moose-like. Yet very feathery. His upward hands tell me he's happy, eager, and as excited to see me as I am to see him.




Uppy is a avowed optimist. He and I will definitely get along.

Here's David Horvath's description of Uppy's personality:
"You'll never meet anyone more optimistic than Uppy. He's super positive!
He's positive that the snack you have in your hand belongs to him, and
that your bank account should be in his name, not yours. Uppy is sure of
things. He's sure that you guys would make the perfect team, and that your
team should make it's way down to the bakery to order something really super
delicious. You handle the money part and Uppy is sure he can do all the eating.
No worries."

He'll be available in all four Uglydoll sizes from clip-on all the way up to 2 feet! Click the Official Uglydoll Store link on the right of this blog to go straight to the source.

Sailor Trunko??

News Flash! David just said "Sailor Trunko" on his Twitter. That's it. That's all he said. Take from it what you may. But, WOWZER.

There WILL be a plush released at SDCC. So 2 + 2= Sailor Trunko.
David wrote that his is his favorite limited edition plush so far. It's a must have in my book.


Second News Flash. Uglydoll zipper pulls will be released in the US after the Singapore Comic Convention in August. These can also be used as cell phone toys if you have a phone with the little external antenna. As Gato Deluxe says on Uglyblog, "Only works with cool phones". I have a cool phone. And you thought those Blackberries were cool.

I am already scoping all the places I can hang these.

Uglydoll Intrigue: SDCC 2009


I just grabbed this off David Horvath's Uglyblog. His blog entry is an ever so intriguing sneak look at things to come from San Diego Comic Con 2009. Are they plush? Are they vinyl? Are they cookie dough? How about Rubber? Balloons? Are they floating and flying? Big? Small?

Is it a photographers trick? What IS that unusual texture? It doesn't look like traditional Ugly plush.

Our friend Purpgee thinks these may be people inside Ugly costumes. Maybe!

Just when I thought I could relax, David posts more pictures on his blog. There is no rest for the Uglydoll fan! Whoopee. I love it that way.

Mystery Special Delivery Part 4

Ahhh. Postmaster Hunphrey Wedgie is happy to see that our new arrival is a happy and friendly Uglydog.
Wedgehead White Cat (on left) is trying to comprehend how a 12" Uglydog can fit in a 3 " shipping box.

We think Pink Uglydog knew all along.

We named the new fellow Houdini, for obvious reasons. Harry for short.









We love you, Harry H Uglydog.
