• How about intentionally ugly, like this?
• those ugly dolls are SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute. I want one. I want 5!
• /looks over shoulder jeez, only one minute behind me. I'm a little spooked.
• I prefer the stuffed microbes, myself.
• Thanks for those suggestions. Those germs are good. Them ugly dolls are uh, pretty ugly. I also found Treesons high on the wtf scale.
• Funny, that's how I always felt about Hello Kitty.
• My son has Babo. He's sweet.
• Did somebody smacktalk my homegirl Kitty-chan?!?
• crazy cat lady? more ugly dolls strangeco.com Give your young child the vivisect playhouse?? fire ant glasses? cat in a bag? psycho shark? a fly catcher? wind-up racing grannies and the barf ball!
• May we ask what you wish this information for Mr. Bored?
• And what's wrong with the McPhee?
• How about this celebration of obesity? Lots To Love Babies: "It's Just Baby Fat". Looks like the one on the left is about to expel something.
• I've always been partial to Stupid.com. Same basic stuff as McPhee, but they do sometimes hit different bases. And I love the Uglydolls. I got one for my sister, and they're so snuggly and weird.
• beautiful plush toy, made of pig split,for goat.beautiful out wear.
• Aww, I like the Treeson! He's cute. I don't think he's meant for kids... looks like "designer vinyl" to me. Ditto the stuff at StrangeCo. I will also step up to defend Kitty-chan's honor. At that last link, this is pretty darn cute (and therefore off-topic, but I want one).
• PS - I have a girlier version of one of these monster dolls from Friend or Foe. They're a little bit quirkier than UglyDolls, which are also cute. If you have a Borders bookstore in your area, or a Paperchase shop, there's a whole line of Paperchase paper goods with UglyDoll-esque monsters (called Monstarz) on them. They're really from a year or two ago, so there may not be that much from the line left floating around in stores. (Borders owns Paperchase but doesn't, TMK, operate any stand-alone Paperchase stores in the US.)
• John Murphy's Stupid Creatures are so cute that they probably don't qualify. But perhaps ugly is in the eye of the beholder! I have a bunch, and I have to say: John Murphy rules impossibly much. He's truly the best thing that ever happened to various pairs of socks.
• Them stupid critters is teh awesome
• Granma, them racing grannies is teh amazing. Kamus asked: May we ask what you wish this information for Mr. Bored? A friend of mine sent me a pair of yodeling pants and now I must retaliate! Then Lara asked: And what's wrong with the McPhee? Nothing! I only wrote it so that people would know i knew about it already. I heart McPhee! More WTF-Goodness from the green: The onion's 2007 list of Cheap toys . I like these but where to get?! I scratch head.
• Also check out this blog entry(scroll down) for truly awful hilarious emaciated Darth Vader figurine.
• Oh! Yeah, you know... while they have plenty of legit stuff, too, my first stop in an Ugly Toy Hunt would be a closeout retailer like Big Lots or (in Ohio, at least) Marc's. They get some very strange things, not all necessarily toys, along with some genuine budget scores.
• ...a pair of yodeling pants... I never would have thought those particular words would have been used in that configuration. Story, you absolutely MUST let us know what you choose!!
• I used to have a pair of plastic lederhosen with feet; when you turned the crank they would jump up and down on the table.
• Because I don't know where else to stick this: Chosen Couture. Has toys.
• ZOMG, Sports Yarmulkes!!
