Uglydoll Grants Licenses to... Everyone. *le sigh*

by
Uglydoll, in a decidedly mass-market business move, has recently granted the following licenses:
  • Callaway Digital Arts (mobile apps based on Uglydoll brand)
  • Amscan (complete line of Uglydoll party supplies)
  • Grasslands Road (ceramic ware manufacture & distro)
  • Anagram (Uglydoll balloons)
  • FAB*Starpoint (backpacks, bags, handbags, totes, etc)
  • Accessory Innovations (fashion headware, cold weather accessories, etc)
  • Thermos (Thermos FUNtainer products, lunch accessories, lunch kits)
  • Zak Designs (children's dinnerware)
  • Freeze (t-shirts and fleece apparel)
  • Komar (sleepware for children)
  • Richard Leeds (junior's and women's sleepware)
  • United Legware (socks and legwarmers)
  • Toy Factory (toys)
  • Thumbtack Press (art prints)

Honestly, I miss the days when Uglydoll just sold, well, Uglydolls. Since they went mass-market, I just can't move any of their products. It's not for lack of trying... I've bought a bunch of their different items over the past couple years. The market's just flooded with Uglydoll products. Nothing I get from them sells anymore. So sad. Used to be one of our top sellers.

ALIAH: A 3D ANIMATED SHORT FILM BY LAB81

by



ALIAH - Trailer from LAB81 on Vimeo.



Between reality, dreams and dreams of reality, time goes by.
Seeing and listening the harmony of a carillon to find serenity in spite of the cruelty of war, through a dream and the eyes of an Afghan little girl. Aliah.
The carillon, symbol of memories and time passing, makes everything sweeter through its melody. Hope for a better world.

Manly Art 1-inch Hello Bertie customs up for sale now

by

 We are very pleased to announce the launch of another Tenacious Toys artist exclusive custom series: Jason Chalker of Manly Art got his big Texan mitts on a bag full of tiny little 1-inch tall Mini Berties from infamous Hong Kong toy manufacturer ThreeA. He then proceeded to customize them in the least obvious manner possible for a Texan: creating a Hello Kitty homage x 3A mashup that works surprisingly well.

Jason painted up 18 of these figures, with the star graphic coming in 4 different variants as pictured above. Each figure is painted and weathered uniquely, and comes affixed to a grassy base. I think this was a smart move, given the fact that Mini Berties have feet that are about 2 millimeters long. Not very stable for your display shelf without being affixed to a base!

Additionally, each figure comes packaged with an original, Hello Bertie-themed sketch card by Jason. The actual figures that I'll be sending to customers, and the sketch cards each order gets, will be picked randomly (for example, if you pick the Hello Bertie with a star with no dark outline, I'll randomly pick one of the 5 pieces like that, and randomly pick a sketch card to go along with the order). Each Hello Bertie / sketch card combo is $25 and you can buy yours here.

Looking at the close-ups below, you have to keep reminding yourself that these customs are one inch tall. Painting those Hello Kitty faces on the Berties' heads must have been a real exercise in patience... To get yourself some of Jason's handiwork, head over to the Manly Art page on our website, or just click here for the Hello Berties. Many more close-up images available in each product listing.

VA Paper Toys Tenacious Toys Street Dog

by
Our friend Bengi (aka nati513) has modified VA Paper Toys' Street Dog template to create a Tenacious Toys Danger Dog paper toy! He kindly printed out and constructed one of these himself and mailed it to us (pics above).

You can do the same by clicking here. Download the paper toy image / template on that page (it's the huge image that doesn't fit on the page), print it out, and cut and glue it into the shape above!

Once you create your Tenacious Street Dog, take a pic and email it to us! We'll update the page with your images of the constructed Tenacious Street Dog, along with your name, location and a link if you want us to post that. Try to take a picture with a local attraction (like the Eiffel Tower if you're in Paris, or Big Ben if you're in London...).

Big, huge thanks to Bengi and to Willie Beren of VA Paper Toys!!!
