Fugglers, also known as “Funny Ugly Monsters”, have captured the hearts of children and adults alike. This range of plush toys features an unusual appearance, complete with crooked smiles and human-like teeth. These quirky toys are unlike any other toy the industry has seen before and are said to come from the dark corners of thrift shops, once abandoned and now waiting to be rescued.
Each Fuggler hosts unique looks and personalities with each collection varying in sizes, colours, and styles. There is simply a Fuggler for everyone!
Louise McGettrick, the creator, and founder of Fugglers, first began this journey as a hobby. One day, with the lead up to Christmas, McGettrick was shopping on Ebay for a gift for her Husband. After hours of searching, McGettrick ended up searching the word “teeth”, in hopes to find something related to a shark tooth as her husband was fascinated by them. Instead, she stumbled on a zip-lock bag of miscellaneous false teeth.
Louise found the listing hilarious, and the more she thought about it, the funnier it became. She then went on to imagine this story of lady buying these teeth to later add them to her homemade teddy bears and go on to set up a stall and sell them. This idea was so hilarious to Louise that she ended up buying the teeth.
Louise began drawing basic templates of these small monsters, making them with her sewing machine, and adding the teeth to the designs. Originally, she just wanted to make others laugh by finding them on Etsy, but before she knew it, everyone design sold, and people wanted more. This birthed the Fuggler monsters we know and love today.
Fugglers were getting bored and resorted to hunting and stealing treasures. They have set up work-of-art decoys to distract their rivals by drawing them to falsified treasure maps and trails that simply lead to nowhere! These gold, curious monsters have dived headfirst into their newfound treasures and are proudly dressing themselves in all the ill-gotten gains and showing off to their Fuggler family. Check out the Gold Fugglers.
The Original Fugglers. The classic style Fugglers that we all loathe. They are here to cause havoc and spread mischief. You don’t want to love these monsters. We really advise against loving them, yet you do. And we understand, but also do not understand. They will ruin your world, good luck.
These unique, funny-ugly looking monsters are extremely difficult to deal with. They are great at hiding. If they happen to set your home on fire, steal your dentures, or break every vase you have… we already warned you. Yet, you still chose to adopt one. Check out Special Fugglers.
The Snuggler Edition Fugglers have super soft fur making them a great cuddles buddy, but don’t underestimate them! Their Fuggler ancestry is very strong and have evolved to lure their victims into a sense of false security. Please don’t be fooled… These monsters are up to no good, causing more havoc than ever before. Did you see the holographic sticker on the box? That is our warning to you, now you know who we are talking about! But hey, you’re going to adopt one anyway… Just don’t try to return them when your life starts falling apart.
As usual, a new Fuggler edition is here to bring havoc, but this time they are doing it in undies! Meet the Budgie Fugglers. Yes, at first glance you may think these monsters are adorable in their colourful, patterned undies, but these pieces of clothing were stolen off washing lines outside of houses that like just like yours. We are surprised by their choice of crime, but at least for once they are covering their BUTT-on holes (which is located exactly where you think a BUTT-on hole would be). They clearly have no shame because all the clean undies are now covered in skidders! Horrendous.
We all know avoiding night-time strolls alone is essential… especially when these FuggGlow monsters are on the loose. These nocturnal nuisances love staying wide awake throughout the night and are asleep all day. They lurk in the shadows, waiting to fire phlegm at unsuspecting victims. Lucky for you, these creatures can be spotted from a distance. Watch out for their lowing eyes, mouth, or clothing. This way you too can stay alert.
The renowned world-leading Fuggler lab had been experimenting on some Fugglers, but all we’ve learned is that these rebellious creatures cannot be tamed. These troublemakers have exploded out of their test tubes, fart blasted the scientists, and have gone skinny dipping into a variety of unknown chemical liquids. These Laboratory Misfits are out and about causing havoc and creating a mess with their wacky colours and weird markings.
Meet the lean, green and mean… yes, its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Limited Edition Fugglers. All we can say is “Cowabunga, dude!”. The Fugglers have taken over Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello. They are still unpredictable, and we believe they are up to no good, watch out as they try to take their enemies down with ninjutsu and cover their victims in a fart cloud as they surf away through the sewers. These Fugglers are a nightmare, but at least you aren’t their archenemy… for now.
We know… and we simply can’t believe it. The Fuggler have gotten worse with the Fart Face Fugglers. Simply put, some ate some cheese when they are clearly lactose intolerant. They are fully alert and ready to sniff out their next victim. We strongly advise against bringing these monsters into your home.
Find the New Fuggs on the Block roaming and hustling in the cities. These Fugglers are like the embodiment of city life – repulsive like sky-high rent and annoying like street pigeons. Think of these monsters as the city-dwelling cousins of the Fugglers but these twisted creatures have never seen grass and are always in a rush!
Meet the adorable miniscule mischief-makers, Baby Fuggs. They’ve hatched into the world and have once again deceived us with their charming personalities… all they know is chaos! They may be young, but these mini monsters have already mastered the art of stealthy shenanigans. With innocent, wide-eyed gazes and cheeky grins with only one or two teeth, these Fugglers are ready to turn your world upside down and infiltrate small areas you never knew existed.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Yes, it’s Fuggler x Spongebob SquarePants. The Fugglers have travelled to Bikini Bottom and found themselves making new disguises of Spongebob and Patrick and managed to trick them into handing over their identities! The outgoing, friendly and love yellow sponge now has an aptitude for anarchy and his naïve pink sea star sidekick has become a master trickster. Whether they are sinking ships or throwing crabby patties as victims, these nau-sea-a-ting creatures are hiding behind their cartoon facades and creating trouble for the loved duo.
We have advised you against adopting them a million of times… yet people are now attaching these super collectable Funny Ugly Monster Keyrings to bags, backpacks, phone cases and even clothes! With plenty to collect, these Fuggler keyrings are pocket-sized and will latch onto you wherever you go. Read our terms and conditions because we are not responsible for their behaviour.
Watch out for the Fuggler Window Clingers, they love staring through windows and should not be trifled with. These fuggly monsters are ready to cause a riot with any passerby, with their tongues that stick out, suctions pads that cling onto anything in sight, human-like teeth, and disturbing demeanour, we recommend not making these creatures your enemy.
Their hair just keeps growing… and we have no idea how! These Hairy Fugglers are a hairstylists biggest nightmare, all they want to do is show off their locks and toupees. Their moustaches seem to harbour the greatest secrets and their monobrows seems to bridge the gap between chaos and more chaos. They even have hairy tongues that flick phlegm… they simply can’t be trusted. If you want your home to be infested with hair balls, then you should adopt one.
These troublemakers have stolen the identities of DC’s most loved and iconic characters, causing upset and unrest and they bring a whole new level of chaos and mischief to the cities. It’s DC x Fuggler! It’s the same creature you know and loathe, but DC style. Dressed up as our favourite Superheroes and Super Villains from the DC universe, these Fugglers are ready to fight (but probably fuel) crime.
Are we seeing double?
The Fugglers are spawning miniature versions of themselves… the problem is these mini monsters are absolute chaos with no filter and no morals. Fugglers are teaching them how to behave, making them ten times as bad. They truly are Double Trouble Fugglers. Will the Fugglers be able to keep the babies in their carriers? We highly doubt it.
It’s a few minutes past midnight and the Fugglers have found themselves bored yet again. This time they have dressed up as The Gremlins to go on their wild antics. Inspired by the iconic gremlins we love, these Fugglers are stirring up a riot! Just like Stripe and Gizmo, these mischievous monsters need careful observations. But NEVER FORGET: avoid bright light, don’t get them wet, and never feed them after midnight! If you break any of these rules… you are on your own.
Fugglers are the plush toys that just keep on giving. Adopt one at your own risk, you have been warned.
