Max Attack

Can you ever have too much fun?  Max puts it to the test.  Will we ever see our mild mannered Max Abima again?  Stay tuned.

Yellow Uglydog

We welcomed Yellow Uglydog into our family today.  He's a dog of a different color! In person, he's a more vivid yellow with a slight tint of green.  His soft blue eye just melts us like butter. And red teeth!

This guy is a one-of-a-kind  handmade Uglydoll by Sun-min Kim and is from Uglycon 2 that took place at Giant Robot San Francisco in 2007. There were two handmade Uglydogs in that show. The other fellow was blue with a red eye.

I saw this Uglydog's photo two years ago in a forum thread and commented on how amazing I felt he was.  Little did I know  he would be with me someday, but I did wish and dream!
In the photo with him are a pair of Wedgehead's you may be familiar with. It's our trusty mail crew White Cat and Humphrey who regularly appear in photos orienting new family members to their surroundings.

My sincerest thanks to my Ugly friends who made this adoption possible!  And a very big thank you to his other Mommie who took such loving care of him.

Oh, and then there are the amazing creators....thanks Sun-min and David!  

Bearbrick Babo and Trucko

Smokin!!! And in a good way.
Two new Uglydoll Bearbricks have made their way to the front of the line.
Babo and Trunko.
Look out. It's a frenzy of color. They look like they're about to launch into a snappy dance routine.  I suggest a classic like the Hammer Dance.
Pink Trunko made the transition to Beabrick in fine style.  His nose is adorable.

Uglydoll.  David and Sun-Min.  Always amazing.

It's a Mystery

MartyKat may be an Uglydoll of the Gato Deluxe variety, but he's also pure cat and ... curious.
Last night he took to the shadows and went to the Big Room to see what his friends were up to.  He was stopped in his tracks by something completely unexpected.  ANOTHER Gato Deluxe.   MartyKat does not know where this new fellow came from....and neither do we!  Seriously! But there he was, standing amongst MartyKats friends like he belongs.

We thought he was MartyKat, seen in the left of photo.  Nope. Far from it. The mystery fellow could be Gato Super Deluxe from his plump and ample stature. Everyone is talking about it today.
Where DID he come from?
The new guy's not talking.  He likes the attention.  We named him Mr. Ree.

Rain? No problem.

It takes more than inclement weather to keep an Uglydoll like Dr. Max Abima from making his rounds.

Today he popped into his rain slicker and headed to the Starbuck's Drive-Thru.  Max didn't even have to say a word.  Just one look from him and the Starbuck's staff was laughing.  Like most Uglys, he has personality that can light up a room. It's in the genes.

When we told the SB staff that Max was paying for our drinks, they spoke to him directly and called him a real gentleman.  How true!
I'm sure they were extra pleased that Max tips well.

Steven the Bat

Dr. Max Abima is a patron of the arts.  His taste runs wide, but he has a special love of vinyl, and particularly the art of David Horvath (big surprise there), Le Merde, and Bwana Spoons.

Max's collection is growing and his newest piece is a gorgeous Mini Steven the Bat with green glitter!  We'll try for a better pic later, but Max was so excited to share he couldn't wait.


Max picked this piece up on the Super7 webstore right here. 

Gifts for Halloween

Ugly Chronicles Halloween Gift suggestions are unsurprisingly Uglydoll!

How could you go wrong with an Icebat in the traditional colors of Halloween!  Sometimes called Secret Mission Icebat, these fine fellows made their way from the  Limited Edition Secret Mission group into the regular retail Uglydoll line-up. Plus they come in clip-on size for about 6.00 and two foot size as well.  That is happy news for those of you who want to get or give one for Halloween!

In this photo on the left we have Super7 Icebat, then two Little Icebat's with different teeth, then we have a regular Classic Icebat in his Halloween costume.  Guess who he's dressed up as?  Super7 Icebat!  We call this fellow Super6.5. 
Super7 Icebat is a Limited Edition Uglydoll from years gone by, exclusive to the Super7 store.  There were only 75 made.  He can be costly in today's collectors market.  BUT, you can dress up your Black Icebat like Super6.5 with a modest amount of cash and sewing skill.  Just make the cape and tie.  That's it.
Super7 has a tag in his cape that says....Super7, but for a costume you don't need that!
Hey, make yourself an orange cape, add a bat mask and go trick or treat with your Icebat as twins!

If I could afford it, I would get a box of Clip-on Uglydolls and give them out for Halloween instead of candy.  Can you image how much fun that would be for both the trick or treater and myself!

This is what I'm getting from my family for Halloween!  Here's the link if you want one.
