Draft:Fugglers
Toy Plush Brand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fugglers are a line of collectible plush toys characterized by their deliberately “funny-ugly” appearance, human-like teeth, and mischievous personalities. They are officially described as "funny-ugly monsters that will warm your heart and take over your life with their mischievous antics and straight-up bonkers appearance."[1] The brand was created in 2010 by British artist Louise McGettrick;[2][3] later, in 2018, she would sell the line to Spin Master.[4] In 2021, the Fugglers brand was sold to Addo Play; in 2024, the toy brand was bought by ZURU.[3][5]

History
The idea for Fugglers is said to have started when Louise McGettrick got bored while Christmas shopping online and stumbled across a bag of false teeth being sold on eBay. In an interview, McGettrick said: "I couldn’t for the life of me understand why someone would either be selling, or would want to own, a ziplock bag full of dentures, and the more I thought about it, the funnier it became. Eventually, I had this vision of a little old lady, buying them to add to her homemade teddy bears."[6] McGettrick bought the teeth and added them to her own stuffed animals. The original Fugglers were very simplistic, but still had the signature teeth and "BUTT-on" hole.
Lousie McGettrick owned the Fuggler brand for approximately seven years and two months after she made her first Fuggler. It would go on to be purchased by Spin Master, the Addo Play, and finally, ZURU. Today, the Fuggler brand has several collaborations with notable brands such as Jaws,[7] The Lord of the Rings,[8] SpongeBob SquarePants,[3] DC Comics,[3] Gremlins,[9] and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[3]
