Ox Uglydoll

All of these collectible UglyDolls need a new home where they can be appreciated and loved - they are tired of living in a closet! These are all early editions before they started being mass produced. From a smoke-free home. Shipping can be combined/adjusted if you are buying more than one.
____________________________________________

The story behind UglyDolls is a real charmer. Aspiring artist/storytellers David Horvath and his then-girlfriend Sun-Min Kim created the first character, Wage (voiced by Wanda Sykes in the film), when Horvath wrote a letter to Kim, including a sketch of a cartoonish, apron-clad wage slave. When Kim mailed him back a hand-sewn felt version of the figure, Horvath ran over to show it to a friend, Eric Nakamura, who had just opened the store Giant Robot, dedicated to Asian and Asian American pop culture.

Nakamura said, “I’ll take 20.”

The rest, as they say, is history. Horvath and Kim are now married. And the line of UglyDolls — launched in 2001 — has grown to include a wide variety of goofy-looking animal and (vaguely) humanoid characters.
