Ugly Dolls

From the creative minds of two
love struck artists David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim emerge the Uglydoll
family! What started as a drawing of a playful orange character known as
Wage has turned into a whole new world of fun! In 2001, when David's soon to
be wife and creative partner Sun-Min had to return to Korea, he sent her
many "I miss you" letters with his little Wage character drawn at the
bottom.
Sun-Min sewed Wage into a plush doll and sent him to David as a surprise
gift. David asked Sun-Min to sew a couple more for the Giant Robot store in
Los Angeles and they sold out in one day! A very excited Sun-Min sewed many
more and those sold just as fast! Sun-Min and David then began to pull more
characters from the Uglyverse, a universe where UGLY meant unique and
special, to translate into plush Uglydolls. They both met again at their
very first Uglydoll Toy Fair booth (a small 6x6 booth made of felt and wood)
in New York, where they would go on to win Toy Of The Year 4 years later!
