Toy OTD: Critterbox Uglydoll Vinyl Figures: Tray & Uglydog

It's a shame that there aren't more Uglydoll vinyl toys, as Critterbox's initial offerings were very appealing and affordable! Several of the original characters were made before they lost the license.

The sculpting, construction and paint work are at the typically high level I associate with Critterbox. One or two characters had sagging/balance issues, but that's not the case here. Adding Uglydog's face to his license tag is a cute touch!

I picked up all of my Uglydoll toys right away at San Diego Comic-Con, and it turns out that it's a good thing I did. Uglydog was a casualty of the Critterbox/Uglydoll split, and only twenty or thirty Uglydog toys were made. By chance, I happened to snag one of these very rare pieces!

I think I paid twenty or thirty dollars for Tray originally, and it doesn't appear that he's gone up in value all that much - he's currently selling for $49.95 + shipping on eBay. Not surprisingly, Uglydog isn't showing up anywhere online - an eBay favorite search or a chance discovery at a toy show are probably your best options. Prepare to pay big money, and good luck!
