When I saw Uglydolls featured on the news last year, I had to have an one, and I bought this little guy. According to his hang tag, his name is Ox and his best buddy is Wedgehead.
Uglydolls emerged from a love story: the two creators, David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim, came up with these scary-cute critters. When distance separated the couple, David sent Sun-Min many “I miss you” letters with his little “Wage” character drawn at the bottom. As a surprise, Sun-Min sewed Wage into a plush doll and sent the doll to David. David asked Sun-Min to sew a couple more for the Giant Robot store in Los Angeles, and they sold out in one day! Sun-Min and David then began to pull more characters from the Uglyverse, a universe where UGLY meant unique and special, to translate into plush Uglydolls.
They both met again at their very first Uglydoll Toy Fair booth in New York, where they would go on to win Toy Of The Year four years later! Sun-Min and David are currently married and have children that can now share in the Uglydolls saga.
Now Uglydoll characters are available in a variety of sizes and styles of plush, and are available at specialty retailers worldwide.
