On September 11th 2010, Giant Robot will be hosting Photos from the Uglyverse, an art show featuring work by Uglydolls creators David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. The opening reception will take place from 6:30PM until 10PM, with the show running until September 29th. Photos from the Uglyverse will include a collection of super-limited edition of [...]
They’re Baaaaaaack!
Well, it would appear that the Uglyblog is back in business. It wasn't that long that we were without our daily fix of David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim's favorite toys and random factoids. According the last post, they'll begin regular postings on this Friday (August 27th 2010).
Medicom, Toy Reviews, Uglydolls
REVIEW: Ox and Ice-Bat Uglydoll Be@rbricks
Background Sun-Min Kim and David Horvath have always been Be@rbrick fans, so when Medicom suggested that Uglydoll and Medicom collaborate on a series of Uglydoll inspired Be@rbricks...they jumped at the chance. The first two characters to be released - Ox and Ice-Bat - come packaged as a two figure set. The adventure begins! Help Ice-Bat [...]
Ugly Pillows?
Rather interesting... David Horvath posted this photo on his Facebook account. It shows the Uglydoll booth at the New York International Gift Fair. Do those appears to be Ugly Pillows? It looks that way to me. It seems that they will be square versions of your favorite characters (with the same facial elements).
REVIEW: Uglydoll – Ket
Background Even though Sun-Min + David's Ket character was released in Uglydoll plush form back in 2009 (as a pink Kitson exclusive), collectors have had to patiently bide their time – until rather recently – to get their hands on the regular version of Ket. Look, OK, so let’s just say Ket is smart in [...]
Uglydoll Reveal: Jrumpy
The Uglydoll folks sort of surprised us with the announcement of another new Ugly. Named Jrumpy, there haven't been details as to when this plush will be released. We do know that he/she? wasn't a part of the five additional 2010 Uglydolls that were revealed last month.
Learning Express Exclusive Nandy Bear
Learning Express has released an exclusive version of one of the 2010 Uglydolls - Nandy Bear. While the regular version is yellow with bluish eyes, this exclusive variant is blue with pinkish eyes. You'll only be able to find these at Learning Express stores (possibly online too, but as of posting...it hadn't been listed).
That’s an Uglydoll Shop
No...that's not some fancy Photoshopping (well, adding NOW OPEN probably is) that is the one and only Uglydoll flag store in Seoul, Korea. Since the first Uglydoll was sewn in Seoul (you remember the story, right?), David and Sun-Min felt Seoul was the perfect place to open up an Uglydoll stand-alone shop. "Much like how [...]
Ket At Night – Kitson Edition
One of the newest Uglydolls, which sort of flew under our radar, is a special version of Ket. The Ket At Night - Kitson Edition is exclusive to the Kitson shop. He's a bright, bright blue...but that blue doesn't cost you any more than a normal Ugly. You can purchase Ket At Night for $20.00 [...]
David Horvath at Comic-Con
David Horvath - the creator of Uglydolls - was interviewed on the opening day of San Diego Comic Con. You can view that interview, which aired on KUSI San Diego, above. I love how the interviewer tries to talk him down from $20 for an Uglycorn.
SDCC10: Uglydoll Booth
At the Uglydolls booth, we got our first look at the SDCC Exclusive Uglycorn plush. If he was too big for your suitcase, there was also the Little Ugly Uglycorn Toy Tokyo Edition, which swapped the wings and body colors of the regular version. They had plenty of other Uglydolls available for your purchasing pleasure, with [...]
Five New Uglydolls in 2010
Five new Uglydolls were recently revealed...and they'll begin being released in 2010. Usually, all of the Uglys are revealed at the beginning of the year...but they've surprised collectors with these five new characters: Flatwoodsey, Mij, Uglybot (black and blue) and Tutulu. Flatwoodsey and Mij will be released in August, while the Uglybots will hit shops [...]
Bye Bye Uglyblog…
Yesterday was a sad, sad day. It marked the end of the David + Sun-Min Uglyblog. This came out of left field for many readers. It was always one of my favorite artist blogs because David would just write about the toys he liked. The RSS was one of the lucky few to make it [...]
Uglydoll T-Shirt Maker
The Uglydoll Shirt Designer has gone live on Uglydolls.com. You can choose from men, women, kids and toddlers shirt sizes. Then choose a graphic (that you can rotate and change the size of), shirt color, and if your shirt needs one - Uglydoll character. It appears that each shirt will run you $25.00 a pop.
REVIEW: Uglydoll Action Figures Series 2
Background Your favorite Uglydoll characters continue to make their way from plush form to vinyl. The Uglydoll Action Figures Series 2 brings collectors six new Uglys (Big Toe, Peaco, Poe, Trunko, Uglydog, and Uglyworm), each available in a pair of colorways. And unlike the first round of vinyl Uglydoll Action Figures, these are not packaged [...]
Uglydoll Blankets
Now THAT'S an UGLY BLANKET! But what does UGLY mean? In the Uglyverse ugly means unique and special…which is what YOU are! So when the heater is busted or when the ice age gets into full swing, break out the UGLY BLANKET and keep the uglys in your life nice and semi-warmish! The Uglydoll Blankets [...]
REVIEW: Ice-Bat Long Time Ago Version
Background Ice-Bat lives in an ice cave inside an icebox. Anything he touches turns to ice…yet he warms your heart! Awww? Yeah well did you know the very first Ice-Bats, hand sewn by Sun-Min, had toes? Way back in 2002, Giant Robot sold the very first batch of Ice-Bats which at the time had 5 [...]
REVIEW: Uglydolls – Ninja Batty Shogun
Background The fourth Uglydoll of 2010 is none other than Ninja Batty Shogun. If my memory serves me correctly, this might be the first ninja Ugly released by Sun-Min and David. Although...I guess the Secret Mission Uglydolls were actually ninjas, but they didn't have the esteemed rank of Shogun. So, what's Ninja Batty Shogun's story? [...]
Uglydoll Action Figure Collection Series 2
Keep a look out at your local shops for the Uglydoll Action Figure Collection Series 2. David Horvath posted that the line should be hitting stores within the next few days. You'll definitely want to pick up a case - to get the whole set.
Ugly Guide to Eating Out and Keeping It Down
On March 9th, the Ugly Guide to Eating Out and Keeping It Down will hit book shops nationwide. From Sun-Min Kim and David Horvath, the book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon ($5.99 or $12.99) - with the below description: Explore the culinary side of Uglytown in this fourth Ugly Guide by David Horvath [...]
REVIEW: Uglydolls – Mynus
Background The third Uglydoll of the 2010 season was released earlier this month (February). Mynus is the bright reddish-pink Ugly who's been designed with a little something extra on the top of her head. Sun-Min and David's new creation is described as follows: Everybody thinks Mynus is quiet and shy, but to her they all [...]
2002 Ice-Bat
David Horvath will be at Giant Robot 2 (Sawtelle in LA) for a signing on March 6th, 2010 from 3PM until 5PM. At the signing will be the new 2002 ICE-BAT made special for Giant Robot. In 2002, Sun-Min sewed the first few Ice-Bats with toes, bright blue fur, and 5 teeth. So if you've [...]
REVIEW: Uglydolls – Picksey
Background The second of the already released Uglydolls for 2010 - released in January along with Pointy Max - is the ugly alien Picksey. Designed by David and Sun-Min, the character is eerily reminiscent of Mothman and is described as follows: Picksey is an interdimensional being. He can be in many places at the same time. That explains why [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Uglydolls
The Pretty Ugly Toy Fair booth was yet again an extremely happening spot. In addition to a slew of tin products from Schylling (robots, alarm clock, trucks, lunch boxes, Ox in a Box), the 2010 line of Uglydoll plushies were on display. If you're a vinyl fan, the Uglydoll Action Figures Series 2 and Be@rbrick [...]
