Uglycon 2007 Is Bringing The Costume World Something Adorably Ugly

Uglydolls are just that, ugly. But their ugliness is adorable enough to create a phenomenon that is worth notice. Not too much unlike the Beanie Babies craze, the popularity springs from their creative, unique look and their individual personalities.

Fans of the Uglydolls line of toys are in luck for the second time as the Uglycon takes place in San Francisco during the month of December. The con is hosted at the Giant Robot store, and theres all kind of fun things going on. Some collectors have made it for autographs from the Uglydolls founder and creator, David Horvath. The lucky ones have been able to snatch up exclusive new dolls that were produced in limited supply.

For us here at MyDisguises, we kept our eyes on the costumes. We haven’t been up to SF for the con this year. We’ll be in LA this holiday season, so we missed the LA event by a year. Maybe if the stars align, we’ll find a way to get out there before the end of the con. In the meantime, here’s a taste of the clever costumes people made for the event. I don’t know if this counts as cosplay. Meh, it doesn’t matter, it’s a costume!

If you want to find out more about Uglydolls, check out their website. Horvath also has his own personal blog. The event goes until the earlier part of next year, so there should be plenty of time to check things out before the season is through.
