Big Coffee, Small Wage

Big Coffee. Small Wage. Thankfully, not a comment on my economic status. The small Wage is the new Medicom Bearbrick Series 19 release of our darling and beloved Uglydoll...WAGE! And wow, he is powerfully appealing. All 2 inches of him. He's nicely articulated to stand, sit, turn his head, and charm.

If I were of a mind to collect outside the Uglydoll realm, and most of you know what a stretch that is for me, I would grab the Mr. Spock Bearbrick that came out in the series with Wage. He has it all.
Do you want your own Wage Bearbrick so bad you could scream? No problem. I got this fellow off ebay for a very reasonable price.

The lovely cup came from Starbucks. You can see my red SUV in the very back of the pic past the red pickup truck.

Tin Toys from Uglydoll

I'm dancing for joy! Tin Toys from Uglydoll. Trucks, cars, robots, more! I just hauled this image over from David Horvath's Uglyblog. I am SO excited. Uglydoll will debut their latest creative endeavor February 14th at Toy Fair.

I've loved Tin Toys my whole life. I lost my entire Tin Toy collection when my storage room was broken into and cleaned out. I never had the heart to begin again. Until NOW! I'm already planning the location of my new shelves.

This was so totally unexpected. I'm always trying to guess what Uglydoll will do next. I'm never right, but it's fun to guess. (Ok, how could anyone have GUESSED First Mate Trunko.) I didn't even come close to guessing this one! Tin Toys! Way to go Uglydoll!

As soon as I can find some, I will post more pics.

Wanna see something fun? Click here. This is robot webpage for Schylling who will be making the Uglydoll Tin Toys.

My dreams will be filled with hopes that my beloved Wedgehead will someday be a Tin Toy! Gulp.

Uglydogs Blue New Year's Eve

This is Bluedog and his friend, Buzzbee. Bluedog is a classic sized Uglydoll Uglydog, not to be confused with a bluedog democrat.

This New Year's Eve Bluedog is planning his Blue Moon New Year's Eve gathering to ring in the new year and to celebrate the Blue Moon that occurs on New Year's Eve only once every 19 years. His next Blue Moon party is scheduled for New Year's in 2028. And you're invited!

Mrs. Kasoogi tells him the moon will not be blue, but rather is the second full moon in a month. Bluedog doesn't care. He's knows blue can strike where you least expect it.

If the moons not blue, he won't be disappointed because he will be with his friends and family and plans to shine so bright blue himself that no one will miss the moon.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to All Our Friends!

If you would like to adopt your own Blue Uglydog, head on over to the Offical Uglydoll store link on the sidebar of this blog. There's a sweet fellow waiting there for you.

New Uglies for the Holidays

We began celebrating our Holiday's on Solstice and continued right through Christmas Day. Midnight is near and before we say goodbye to Christmas 2009 we wanted to say Happy Holiday's and Merry New Year to all our Uglydoll friends and family.

We welcomed a lovely new group of Uglydolls into our ever-expanding happy family. Pictured here from left to right are Wedgehead "Nevada Cat", Little Blue Ox, Suntan Target, Two Foot Fea Bea, Green Pointy Max "Chris", and Plunko "Sunny".
In front of Suntan Target is a set of Uma Series 5 from Giant Robot that I've been wanting for months, and I was fortunate to receive for Christmas!

The biggest surprise in this group was Green Pointy Max. Receiving him was one of the highlights of my life. . He was on my front porch when I came home inside a box inside a big white Santa-style bag. When I opened it and saw that face I was filled with joy.

He is an expression of the generosity and kindness of those who gave him to me, and one that I will treasure always.

This was the best Solstice / Christmas I've ever had, and Green Pointy Max helped push it over the top. You know, I think I'll go hug him now!
----------------------------------------
Want your own? All of these amazing goodies are available, or soon will be. Check Giant Robot for the Uma and also for Uglydoll plush. Of course the Official Uglydoll Store has all the current Uglydoll lineup. If you want Uma, I suggest a purchase sooner than later. They've been around awhile and could disappear from the shelves any day now.

Comet Debris Lucky Bags are up!

If you are familiar with the creative powers of Koji Harmon you will be excited to see he has his 2010 Lucky Bags up on his CometDebris website. His Lucky Bags are not just Lucky, but are also a mystery. Meaning: you don't know exactly what you are getting. In these bags you might get Tokoji Seijin or Tokoichi Seiju, along with other goodies from Koji. You are certain to get a high quality, limited edition, custom painted figure from Koji, and that's double luck to me. Go grab one soon. They won't last long.

Uglydoll Solstice Fun

Many of you will recognize our Dr. Max Abima in his clever Holiday disguise. He delights in making people smile. For Solstice he accomplished that goal in the local Starbucks. Who could look at that face and not feel the love?

Always the fashionable Ugly, he wore a nice set of Gama-Go buttons.

After meet and greets at Starbucks, we all headed to downtown Olympia to visit our local toy shop, Wind Up Here. We planned to browse and hug our way through the piles of Uglydolls and perhaps add to our family.
Mission accomplished: Meet Plunko.
We did adopt, but it didn't go exactly as we'd imagined. Plunko here was the ONLY Classic sized Uglydoll left in Olympia. He caught my eye through the big picture window in the storefront, and had me at hello. I adore him, and feel so very grateful to have found him. He immediately offered to help me set up an online business in my spare time, so this guy is a go-getter. I could use a little more getter in my go.

The staff at the toy store were so kind and helpful and made us feel welcome They even wound up robots for us to enjoy. One employee was especially fond of Uglies and had a handmade name tag with Uglydoll pics on it.





Our Little Wedgehead "Jammer" jumped into Dr. Max's bag when we left the house. Max proudly showed him off to everyone.

One of the highlights of our day was watching the expression on people's faces as they looked over the few remaining Uglydolls at Wind Up Here. Their eyes would go all dreamy, they'd sigh and smile, or laugh. We saw two Little Uglies get adopted as we waited, a Little Trucko and Little Wage. Uglies just warm the heart.

I was impressed with those nifty metal robots in the store. They wind up and walk. One called Chief Robot has a light that flickers in his chest while he walks. I foresee a metal robot collection in Dr. Max's future to go along with his button collection and Steven the Bat collection and.......

Happy Solstice Everyone!

Ket is here!

A package arrived from The Official Uglydoll Store. Ket popped out with a twinkle in his eye and a hug for everyone.

David said this is one of the earliest Ugly designs, and is one of Sun-Min and David's favorites.

This little guy reminds me of a fluffy piece of toast with banana ears. And hugable? Oh yes. He fits snuggly in your arms, and has ears like handles that fit perfectly in your hands. He arrived a bit flat, but a little fluffing is all it took for him to puff into a lovable softy pal.

David Horvath describes him as a guy who KNOWS clothing saying, "He IS fashion". But being super indecisive, he arrived without an outfit to his name. No prob. He came to the right place. We have some VERY decisive Uglydolls who can take his fashionable ideas and craft the wardrobe of his dreams. Then tell him which one to wear! Perfecto.

About Ket: He is a Kitson Exclusive Uglydoll, meaning....get him at Kitson while you can! Also available at Uglydoll Store. Only in classic 14" size for 20.00.
