Happy New Year to all Ugly fans and enthusiasts out there! May the new year bring prosperity to you and your family. May it also bring more snacks to our lovable Uglies! XD

Be sure keep safe from all the fireworks. Some of the Uglies have already hidden themselves while the others are staring up the sky…wondering what those pretty lights are…At least, they’re not playing with fire. Hehe.

Bossy Bear doesn’t like to share. Jeero doesn’t know what “MINE!” means. This is going to be one crazy argument between a bear and an ugly. These two are stubborn in their own way. Better not get in their way, the only thing you’ll achieve is a headache! Don’t worry I think they’ll be able to settle this couch ownership without resorting to any form of violence because they don’t know what violence means.

The new year is near and it’s seems the Uglies have an ultimate year-long plan that will strike the human world in 2009!

*gasp* We only have a little over 365 days left to prepare for this!They already have the Ugly Guides for the second quarter of 2008 and some more special dolls. There will be more Ugly friends arriving as well so be prepared with those snacks.

Watch out world! Ugliness is spreading like wild fire and next year will surely be an Uglier year. Remember the Ugly Guides I was talking about before? Here’s what they’re going to look like:

That’s just the first two of many Ugly Guides to come. So watch out this April 22, 2008 and prepare to be Uglyfied!

Every time I wake up, I see their grinning faces. I often wonder what’s so funny. Is it the way I look when I wake up? Or they just thought of something hilarious?

I’ve talked about Choco and Minty a few months ago and they are candy bar mascots. They like to wear different colors and costumes. Unfortunately, they are usually unemployed.

Choco (in his new fuschia color-way) and Minty (in the new blue-green color-way) has been looking for a job since who-knows-when. A few weeks ago, at the peak of my flu and cough, my brother brought them home to cheer me up.

I usually wake up in a grouchy mood due to sleepless nights because of my cough attacks, but every time I look at these guys by the window ledge, I can’t help but smile. I maybe the one they’re laughing at, but it doesn’t matter, just as long as they keep me company.

He’s one cool bat, Icebat that is! He’s so cool, he’s always used for special limited edition items, like the Halloween 2006 edition Icebat and the Uglycon 2007 special plush dolls.

Here’s another elusive Icebat item. This vinyl figure was only sold at the San Diego Comic Convention back in 2005. Known as Sleepy Chilly Icebat, there were only 50 pieces made for this unique bat.

Uglycon which was held last December 8, 2007 was a big success. A lot of people lined up in the cold in order to get a limited edtion Ugly wearing a hat. Lucky dudes!

The special Icebat comes in three colors: pink, brown and gray. His wings have a different color compared to the body and his hat seems to have a life of it’s own.

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the event to get the doll. My only hope was through the Uglycon online shop, but within the day the items were posted, they were sold out.

Here are some more pictures from the event. (Thanks to David Horvath’s blog!)

Don’t want to show show your face, but you want to cosplay? Cosplay as an Ugly! Also, I like that Ugly shirt a lot! Haha! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

It’s getting pretty cold out there and this sudden drop in temperature is making a lot of people and Uglies very sick. Hopefully this will not be an ugly Christmas for those who are sick. (I mean ugly in a bad way and not pretty-ugly ugly way…am I making any sense…? It must be the ugly virus in me talking…)

Stay healthy and warm like the Uglies here! You might miss out on all the fun this Holiday season.
