Meet The Uglydolls No 10 - Poe

Poe is an Ugly Dragon. Ugly Dragons come from the Ugly Dragon Mountain. But Poe has left the safety of his caverns in search of his big dreams. The other day he had a big dream about a big scoop of Ice Cream. Chocolate. While most Ugly Dragons sleep all day and fly all night, Poe is more into cars, trucks, bikes and anything that lets him sit down while moving. Flying is hard. You have to flap your wings around all the time! Can Poe ride with you?

Gachas

Gachas are one of the biggest sellers in our shop, but I don't think I've ever mentioned them in the blog before, so let's rectify that.

If you're not in the know, Gachas are small toys sold in capsules. They hail from Japan, where Gacha Machines are big news. Anyway, each type of Gacha features a series of different characters/toys to collect.

Check them out on our website - we have Pokemon, MarioKart, Hello Kitty and Winnie The Pooh Gachas at the moment, but the stock keeps changing so keep checking back.

Meet The Uglydolls No 9 - Puglee

Puglee is super smart. How can you tell? You know how they say if you get really good grades, you'll have a better shot at getting a really great job? Well Puglee figured out that a great way to avoid getting a job was to get the worst possible grades ever! Only and F- would do. But here's the problem...Puglee LOVES to read, write and count. So she gets all A's no matter how hard she tries!
