First prize:
A full set of regular size Uglydolls!
Second prize:
A full set of Little Uglys!
Third prize:
The full 2008 Little Uglys set

Woke up this morning and I saw this colorful guy perched by my window. A daytime bat perhaps?  Imagine how the rays of the sun would pass through his colorful glitter body. XD

There are only 10 of these little guys in the world and each is unique since they’re hand-dyed. I’m so happy that one decided to live with me!

Ok, I didn’t attend Uglycon Tokyo. I sure wish I was there to buy those acrylic paintings…Oh well…next time!

Got these cool event exclusive stuff from the store though.

*versions
Winged Black Abima (edition of 25) Uglycon Tokyo 2008 Exclusive
Seasick Babo (edition of 100) Uglycon Tokyo 2008 Exclusive
Red Icebat (edition of 25) Uglycon Tokyo 2008 Exclusive

Among the 3, I couldn’t decide what to get. I already had my eyes set on the Seasick Babo to pair up with my Little Sailor Babo. As for the Winged Abima, this might be the only chance to own him in his winged form. Icebat, on the other hand, is a favorite when it comes to special pieces, and his brother is already waiting for him. So, I ended up getting all 3!

I actually find some of T9G’s works scary, but when I saw this, I fell in love with it immediately.

This is their version of Ice-bat. He has more teeth! XD

Hmm…I’m still puzzled as to why Ice-bat is a favorite when it comes to special pieces. Does he have some sort of special meaning?

During Uglycon Tokyo, there were a lot of guest artists. Here’s one of the unique pieces there.

Done by Touma, I find this one really cute.  Touma is Japanese character designer who is renowned for his designs, including the wildly-popular Knuckle Bear, as well as Scuttle, Talons, Snout, Hell Hounds, BOO and many more.

I think that seated figure is made from resin. Touma’s version of Wage is really cute and amusing. The one in the painting is Moxy.

Argh! Uglycon Tokyo is today! @_@ I wonder what other great goodies are up for sale besides the Super Puncher Kaiju? (LOL! I like that picture above. David’s version of the fortune cat is cute. Hmm…I wonder if he’ll turn that into a Miao?)

Saw a picture of a new hand-painted Ice-bat Kaiju though. It was done by Koji Harmon and it’s 1 of a kind!!! >.< I wish I could own a special Uglydolls figure one of these days.

See that Ice-bat beauty? That’s the one of a kind piece!

Lonely Otaku will not be lonely anymore if you buy this limited print. If you’re  one of the lucky 50 owners if this print, be sure to always accompany Lonely Otaku in his exploits in finding Super Puncher figures!

Oops! Lonely Otaku already died, right? So, he will be the one to accompany you!!! XD

This print will be available at DOUBLE PUNCH in San Francisco during "Sun-Min + David Things" show.

Asia has been having a lot of cool events lately, there was the Taipei Toy Festival, Buff Monster Asia Tour and now Uglycon Tokyo!

For those attending Uglycon Tokyo, expect to be rubbing elbows with the following artists:

GARGAMEL
DEHARA
TOUMA
MORI CHACK
T9G
DEVILROBOTS
MAD BARBARIANS
NAO (WRECKS)
MOGRAPHIXX
MAEDA
BUCH
HERVEST
TOMONARI KAWANO
TOUGOU

Wooo! This is going to be a great event! I think I’d better buy a plane ticket now…but…but…there’s something that I have to buy first…Argh! Why?! Why?! Stop making me spend already! XP

Japan will have it’s own Uglycon! Mark your calendars: October 10, 2008! The event will be held at STITCH, located in Tokyo at Daikanyama. The show will feature plush, paintings, prints, drawings, show and exclusive items. Ugly guest artists from Japan will also be present!

Wow! What an incredible event! I wonder what the exclusives will be like? I hope I can get one. XD

We’ve seen him at the tags of the Uglycon 2007 Sleepy Chilly Icebat plushies. Now he’s finally here! First seen at SDCC 2008, but they’re not really convention exclusives. Even the Kaijus are not exclusive and will be available online for those who weren’t able to attend the convention. 400 pieces of the plush were made. I hope I will be able to get one. Hehe. XD
