This fall, the amalgamation of two pop culture giants will aim to take over retail shelf space as UGLYDOLL has announced a partnership with DC Entertainment to produce superhero UGLYDOLLS. GUND and Funko are also involved. Here’s some press release business that will either clarify or confuse:
“GUND, a division of Enesco, will produce a diverse range of colorful and collectible Super Hero plush based on the DC Comics and UGLYDOLL character universes. The initial release this fall will be a trio that includes two versions of Ice-Bat™ as Batman™ and Babo™ as Superman™ (shown on the right).
FUNKO is also set to offer a collection of vinyl figures based on the DC Comics and UGLYDOLL plush collaboration during the holiday season this year. Additional categories of merchandise and collaborative characters will be announced in the coming months.
GUND will be previewing their new collaborative plush merchandise at the summer Gift Shows and ASTRA show in June. Diamond Comics will be exhibiting at San Diego Comic-Con in July and in their infamous Previews catalog. FUNKO and others will launch merchandise in time for the holiday season.”
Fingers crossed for a Beast Boy doll. I don’t ask for much, really I don’t.
These sure-to-be-hot dolls will retail for $20+, which means you’ve gotta stash away just $1.50 a week to be able to snag both the Batman and Superman dolls in the Fall. Easy-Peasy!
