7 New Uglydolls in 2008!

New for 2008 - The Magnificent Seven!

There are 7 new Uglydolls of varying sizes being released throughout 2008. See our updates below for information as it comes in.

Send us your comments and we'll add them to our updates.

22 August 2008

Puglee has arrived!!! We are pleased to say that the latest Uglydoll to hit our shores is available at last, and all our pre-orders were shipped today. She is the most vibrant pink (lobster?) of all the uglies, and is oh so cute.

With a piggy nose and trotters, there is little doubt that her design owes something to our porcine friends. Frankly, she looks great on it. She is also reputed to be the cleverest of the Uglydolls - only time will tell...

Only Uglyghost to go now, and the full batch of 2008 Uglydolls will have been released. We are still being told it will be October - we'll keep you updated as the news comes in.

21 July 2008

The latest news is that the containers will be with us mid-August, a little later than hoped. All the clan are waiting with bated breath...

As already stated, apart from re-stocking some of the uglies we have been unable to get for a while, there will also be Puglee, and the 2 Foot versions of Puglee, Poe, Babo's Bird and Plunko. We can't wait!

12 Aug - update. It looks like they will be shipping from about the 25 August (fingers crossed).

8 July 2008

We have just heard that the container load with the new release Uglydolls will be reaching us hopefully at the end of July (Customs permitting).

This shipment includes all sizes of the new Puglee (contender for this editor's best ugly doll ever), plus the 2 Foot Poe, Plunko and Babo's Bird.

It also includes a few oldies that have been out of stock for a while, so watch this space.

29 June 2008

After just over a month on release, we though you might like to know who's the most popular new uglydoll (according to our sales). And the winner is...

1. Babo's Bird 

2. Plunko

3. Poe

4. Little Purple Babo

5. Suntan Target 

And last, but not least - Cinko!

24 May 2008

Another new release for 2008 that has slipped by almost unnoticed in the excitement is Little Purple Babo. Beautiful!

23 May 2008

As we're sure you know by now, the first batch of new Uglydolls have arrived, namely Poe, Plunko, Babo's Bird, Suntan Target and Brown Cinko.

The new ugly dolls include the Classic, Little and Clip-on models (apart from Target and Cinko, who are only being made in the Classic size). Unfortunately we are going to have to wait until July for the 2 Foot Uglies.

July should also see the release of Puglee (below). We are divided over Puglee. This author thinks Puglee is one of the best Uglydolls ever, but some of the team think he really lives up to the name of Ugly... Let us know what you think?

17 May 2008

We have just been told that the new Uglydolls will be with us by Wednesday 21 May (so we are crossing fingers very tightly). As soon as they do we will ship all pre-orders immediately. Our apologies, and thanks to everyone for their patience.

16 April 2008

Well, the bad news is that there has been a delay in the manufacture of the new uglydolls. We are now being told that they won't be with us until mid-May. Sorry about that.

Here's picture of Babo's Bird to wind us all up, knowing we still can't get our hands on them for a while... 

1 April 2008

Another picture of Poe to keep us all going until the end of April.

It has been said that Poe looks rather like Icebat. There are a number of differences, however, not least that Poe is the first pea-green uglydoll (he's a dragon, anyway, not a bat!). He also only has 2 teeth (Icebat has 4) and both the wings and ears on Poe are longer than Icebat’s.  Plus, Icebat has feet...

Roll your mouse over the image and see what you think.

UPDATE: Thanks to Lydz, who sent us this comment:

"Was reading some of your stuff on Uglydolls and thought I'd tell you that Poe and Ice Bat are cousins :D that's why they look a bit alike".

Nice try Lydz.

The new Uglydolls are coming... As a taster, we thought you might like to see the catalogue pictures of the new clip-ons. How can you resist?

1 March 2008

You know how everyone looks like their pet? Well, Babo looks just like his pet peeve! BIRDS! Babo can't stand birds! They always eat the crumbs his cookies leave behind! One bird has taken a liking to Babo and now likes to call him mommy. Sounds serious, right? And Babo doesn't have a mean bone in his body. So now Babo's Bird is...Babo's bird. Luckily Babo doesn't have shoulders either. Have any cookie crumbs?

Plunko is a business man. He’s got his own car wash, his own tyre store, and  ideas for lots of other stores. Some of those ideas are his very own! Plunko is a good guy to know - he's got connections. And if you call Plunko’s phone, you may get a bad connection. So anyway, are you sold on Plunko? Are you ready to do business? Plunko is the ultimate business partner because he only wants 100% of your love and even less of your money.

Puglee is super smart. How can you tell? You know how they say if you get really good grades, you’ll have a better shot at getting a really great job? Well Puglee figured out that a great way to avoid getting a job was to get the worst possible grades ever!  Only an F- would do. But here’s the problem... Puglee LOVES to read, write, and count. So she gets all A’s no matter how hard she tries! Puglee is also smart enough to know that life isn’t about getting a grade. It’s about the special bond she now has with you.

Ugly Ghosts can be found way out beyond the back exits of Uglytown.  If you ever decide to go camping near those trees just beyond the gates of the big city, you may be lucky enough to see one! Boo! Boo! Is that some sort of scare tactic or is he trying to tell you his name? Or is it Karaoke night? Hard to tell. But one thing is certain... Ugly Ghosts are good to have around if you can find a way to make friends with them. Try leaving out some sweet snacks under the bed.

Target is the grandpa of the Uglydolls. That's why he has hair! The other Uglydolls are a bit scared of Target's body hair, and wonder why he has so many arms. But they come running to Target when there are questions to be answered. Old age may bring Uglydolls a few extra arms and whiskers, but it also brings wisdom and foresight. Target is often bailing the other Uglydolls out of trouble and getting them into more sophisticated forms of mischief. And now he has a Sun-Tan!

Cinko is afraid of water. What if he gets thirsty? Aren’t our bodies mostly water? What if he takes his family to the drive-thru window and everyone orders water? Can Ice-Bat melt? Are tears water? Cinko needs help. Cinko needs you. The best way to keep Cinko calm is to sit him down next to you to watch TV. Watch something about dry stuff. Maybe sit him on a towel. Those are dry. Or tell him your best joke. No, the other one.

Poe is an Ugly Dragon. Ugly Dragons come from the Ugly Dragon Mountain. But Poe has left the safety of his caverns is search of his big dreams. The other day he had a big dream about a big scoop of Ice Cream. Chocolate. While most Ugly Dragons sleep all day and fly all night, Poe is more into cars, trucks, bikes, and anything that lets him sit down while moving. Flying is hard. You have to flap your wings around all the time! Can Poe roll with you?
