Fuggler Funny Ugly Monster - Laboratory Misfits Edition

This item is a contemporary plush toy known as a Fuggler (Funny Ugly Monster), specifically from the 'Laboratory Misfits' series produced by Spin Master. The toy is housed in its original brown cardboard 'adoption' box which features an irregular, jagged cutout to allow the creature to peek through. The plush itself is constructed from vibrant, multi-colored neon yellow, orange, and hot pink tie-dye synthetic fur. Its most distinguishing and trademark feature is the inclusion of realistic, human-like plastic teeth embedded in its wide-open mouth. It possesses two large, pink felt-rimmed eyes with small pupils and a black plastic button nose. Below the facial features, a turquoise and white patterned fabric section is visible. The packaging includes a '4+' age rating symbol, a 'Laboratory Misfits Edition' stamp graphic in the bottom left corner, and the Spin Master logo at the bottom right. The condition appears to be new-in-box (NIB), with crisp edges on the cardboard and no visible fading to the textiles. This specific edition is characterized by its intentionally 'odd' or mismatched aesthetic, designed to mimic a failed scientific experiment. The craftsmanship relies on high-contrast textures—pairing soft, long-pile faux fur with hard, smooth realistic dentures to create a 'creepy-cute' uncanny valley effect popular in niche designer toys of the late 2010s and early 2020s.
