Identity of orange stuffed animal with large eyes?

August 18, 2008 12:41 PM

I'm hoping to find and own this stuffed animal. It is a large eyed orange thing with arms, legs, and a small tuff of dark hair on top of its head. Any ideas on who makes or sells it?

Here's a picture:

Looks like an Ugly Doll to me, or at least reminiscent of one.

yeah, looks like an ugly doll knockoff.

messylissa, I thought so too. The toy will be used to comfort a dog. Sadly, the Ugly Doll doesn't seem like it'd hold up to some chewing.

You could probably make your own pretty easily...I had a friend who made Ugly Dolls for her kids stuffing and hand-stitching felt cutouts together (you just need the front and back). If you found some heavier fabric, you'd be in good shape.

You could request someone make it on Etsy: Alchemy. I'm sure if it was custom made they could make it durable enough for a little chewing.

I would recommend something strange if you are going to make it yourself. I repair my dog's toys by using dental floss.....it is stronger than regular thread. I am sure there is something else out there that would work, but I always have it handy.

messylissa, I agree it looks simple to make - I wish I had the ability.

Ugh, thanks for the link! What a cool feature to Etsy.
