The strange little plushies with human-like teeth, mismatched eyes and slightly unsettling faces that somehow manage to be both creepy and adorable.
They're called Fugglers — and they're one of the most recognisable collectible plush brands around.
If you've ever wondered "What is a Fuggler?", why people collect them, or what makes these weird-looking monsters so popular, you're in the right place.
What Is a Fuggler?
Fugglers are "Funny Ugly Monsters" — collectible plush toys deliberately designed to look weird, mischievous and a little bit unsettling.
Unlike traditional cute plushies, Fugglers aren't trying to have perfectly embroidered smiles or adorable expressions. Instead, they're known for their unusual features, including human-like teeth, button or vacant-looking eyes and their signature BUTT-on hole.
That's essentially the whole point — Fugglers are supposed to be ugly-cute, and somehow, the stranger they look, the more lovable they become.
Why Do Fugglers Have Human Teeth?
This is probably the first thing everyone notices.
The teeth.
The original Fuggler story goes back to 2010, when British artist Louise McGettrick — known within the Fuggler story as Mrs. McGettrick — came across individual denture teeth on eBay.
She imagined what those realistic-looking teeth would look like on a teddy bear and started making her own strange plush creations.
What began as handmade oddities eventually grew into the Fuggler brand we know today. Spin Master became the official manufacturer in 2018, and the brand later continued under Addo Play.
So if you've ever looked at a Fuggler and thought "Why does this plush have actual-looking teeth?" — that's exactly where the magic began, thanks to British artist Louise McGettrick who discovered individual denture teeth on eBay in 2010 and had the brilliant, bizarre idea to stitch them into teddy bears.
What Makes a Fuggler a Fuggler?
While Fuggler designs can vary quite a lot, there are a few features that make them instantly recognisable.
Human-Like Teeth
The teeth are probably the most iconic Fuggler feature. Some Fugglers have big, goofy grins while others have gap teeth or unusual toothy expressions.
Weird Eyes
Forget perfectly matching cartoon eyes. Fugglers can have mismatched button eyes, wide eyes or other strange expressions that give each monster its own personality.
The Signature BUTT-on Hole
Yes, you read that correctly. Many Fugglers feature the brand's distinctive BUTT-on hole, which is part of their intentionally ridiculous design.
Soft Plush Bodies
Despite their unsettling faces, Fugglers are still plush toys. That contrast between soft, cuddly body + questionable facial expression is a huge part of their appeal.
Why Are Fugglers So Popular?
The appeal of Fugglers is straightforward: they're refreshingly different from traditional collectible plush toys, which are typically designed to be cute, sweet or wholesome — Fugglers embrace being weird, chaotic and intentionally unconventional, and that unapologetic weirdness is precisely what makes them so beloved by collectors.
The brand's official descriptions lean heavily into their mischievous personalities and chaotic behaviour, turning each Fuggler into more than just a plush toy — they're presented as little characters with their own identities.
What Size Are Fugglers?
Fugglers come in different sizes, so you don't have to commit to a giant monster immediately.
At Spectrum Store, you'll currently find 9" Fugglers, larger 18" Big Fugglers, as well as smaller Fuggler bag charms.
9" Fugglers
The 9" size is a great starting point if you're new to collecting.
They're big enough to display on a shelf or bed while still being relatively easy to add to an existing plush collection.
Spectrum Store currently carries several 9" designs, including Fart Face, Nipple, and Baddies series characters.
18" Big Fugglers
Want something much harder to ignore?
The 18" Big Fuggler range takes the weirdness up a level.
Spectrum Store currently has Big Fugglers including Oogah Boogah, Screech, Sphinx Cat and Rabid Rabbit, with Gaptooth McGoo also appearing in the collection when available.
They're perfect for anyone who thinks a normal-sized plush simply isn't chaotic enough.
Fuggler Bag Charms
You don't have to keep your Fuggler at home. Smaller Fuggler collectibles can join you on your bag, backpack or everyday tote.
Spectrum Store currently carries Fuggler bag charms such as the Mini Series Alley Cat and Nugget Plush.
Meet Some Fugglers at Spectrum Store
If you're ready to start your own collection, Spectrum Store's Fuggler collection currently features 23 products, with a mix of plush sizes, character series and accessories.
Here are some of the Fugglers you might encounter:
Oogah Boogah
One of the instantly recognisable Fuggler characters, Oogah Boogah brings plenty of weirdness to the collection. The 9" version is soft and squishy with a goofy, strange design, making it a fun choice for anyone who likes their plushies slightly unhinged.
Rabid Rabbit
Rabid Rabbit may technically be a rabbit, but this is definitely not the fluffy bunny you grew up with. If you're a rabbit lover who likes their plushies with a little more chaos, this one might be worth meeting.
Shameless Goof
Shameless Goof is a 9" Fuggler with a deliberately goofy and unusual appearance. It's soft, squishy and designed for anyone who prefers their plushies strange, silly and a little chaotic.
Wrinkle McStinkles
Possibly one of the most ridiculous names in the collection, Wrinkle McStinkles is a 9" Nipple Plush with a wrinkly, cheeky design.
It's exactly the kind of Fuggler that proves these aren't ordinary plush toys. If your idea of a great gift is something that makes the recipient laugh the moment they see it, this is definitely in that category.
Munch Munch
For fans of the slightly terrifying toothy grin, Munch Munch appears in Spectrum Store's Fuggler collection as part of the Fart Face and Baddies ranges.
What Is a "Baddies" Fuggler?
You'll notice Baddies appearing as one of the Fuggler ranges.
The Baddies collection gives collectors even more strange monster designs to discover, with characters including:
- Munch Munch
- Rabid Rabbit
- Lord Long Ears
- Wide Eyed Weirdo
- Annoyed Alien
- Annoyed Alien Leopard
These 9" plushes are currently part of Spectrum Store's Fuggler collection.
If you're looking to start collecting by series rather than by character, Baddies is one range to look out for.
Can You Get a Fuggler That's Smaller?
Absolutely.
If you love the Fuggler aesthetic but don't have space for a giant plush army, Fuggler bag charms are a fun way to start. Spectrum Store currently carries the Nugget Plush Bag Charm, while the Mini Series Alley Cat is also part of the collection when available.
Clip one onto your backpack, tote bag, school bag, travel bag or everyday handbag — it's basically a tiny chaotic companion that goes everywhere with you.
Why Collectors Love the "Ugly-Cute" Look
The ugly-cute trend has become a popular part of collectible culture because it offers something different from traditionally cute characters.
Fugglers take that idea to an extreme. Their mismatched features, exaggerated teeth and strange expressions give each one a distinct look, which makes them particularly fun to display as a collection.
Instead of trying to find the "perfect" plush, you're looking for the one with the most memorable personality. And that's exactly what makes Fuggler collections so entertaining.
