I found out a few days ago that Uglydoll Toodee has been retired. I’m glad that I adopted one. The reason behind the retirement was not because people doesn’t love him. In fact, he is very well-loved, all Uglies are.

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I was browsing our nearby designer toy store and saw a figure named Toodee from the Yo Gabba Gabba series. Apparently, Yo Gabba Gabba has a TV show. So, here’s the story why they had to let go Uglydoll Toodee:

"The final word on TooDee is that our friends decided to produce a TV show with a guy named TooDee. We didn’t get in trouble. They didn’t get in trouble. Neither of us knew the other was working on something with the name "TooDee" in it. It was just in the air. So we decided to retire TooDee out of respect for our friends show, which would have been VERY expensive to re-shoot at that point. I am sure they would do the same for us next time."

Goodbye Uglydoll Toodee! You will always be in our hearts!
