What Are Fugglers? The UK Collector's Guide to ZURU's Funny Ugly Monsters

Quick answer: what are Fugglers?

• Fugglers are plush "funny ugly monsters" made by toy company ZURU, known for wonky eyes and a mouth full of plastic teeth modelled on real human teeth.
• The range runs from 3.5-inch Baby Fuggs and 4-inch keyrings up to the 18-inch Bigg Fuggs plush.
• At Infinity Collectables, Fugglers start at £3.99 for squishie blind bags and run up to £24.99 for the 18-inch Bigg Fuggs, with collector sets a little higher.
• Official Nickelodeon crossovers exist, including SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fugglers.
• Limited-edition crossovers like the TMNT plush and seasonal Festive Fuggs sell out fastest and rarely get restocked.
• New to them? Start with a 9-inch classic or a £3.99 blind bag, then build from there.

Some plush toys are cute. Fugglers went the other way. These are the funny ugly monsters with crossed eyes, lopsided grins and a full set of plastic teeth, and somehow that combination has built a cult following across the UK. Spotted one online and thought "what on earth is that, and why do I suddenly want it"? You're in the right place.

We carry one of the UK's biggest Fuggler ranges, so we field these questions daily. Here's the plain-English version: what they are, the sizes and prices, the ones worth chasing, and which Fuggler to buy first.

What is a Fuggler?

A Fuggler is a soft plush monster made by ZURU, designed to look charmingly hideous. Each one has mismatched eyes, a squashed face and a grin packed with plastic teeth sculpted to mimic human teeth. That last detail is the whole point. It's what makes them weird, slightly unsettling and oddly loveable all at once.

Here's a bit of collector trivia. The earliest hand-sewn Fugglers used real denture teeth, which is where the "do they have real teeth" myth comes from. The plush you buy today use sturdy plastic versions instead. No two faces feel quite the same either, thanks to the way the teeth are stitched in, so every Fuggler ends up with its own expression. Half the fun is picking one in person.

The Fuggler range, explained

"Fuggler" is one brand with a lot of formats. Here's what actually sits under the name.

The classic 9-inch plush

This is the size most people picture. The 9-inch line includes series like Mini Rascals, Gold Fuggs, the Hairy Fuggs, the louder Fart Face range and the seasonal Festive Fuggs, with Santa and Elf versions turning up for Christmas. Most 9-inch Fugglers sit around £12.99 with us. Some lines run a little cheaper, and premium editions like the Fart Face range are £17.99.

Baby Fuggs and squishies

Smaller, rounder, easier on a shelf. Baby Fuggs measure about 3.5 inches and start at £3.99, and the squishie figure blind bags come in at the same price. A gentle entry point if you're not sure yet.

Bigg Fuggs

Want a statement piece? The Bigg Fuggs plush is an 18-inch beast at £24.99. It's the biggest in the line and the one guests actually notice.

Keyrings and blind boxes

The cheapest way in. Fuggler keyrings are around £4.99, squishie figure blind bags £3.99, and Rad Edition blind boxes £4.99 each. Blind formats mean you don't know which design you'll get, which is exactly why people keep buying "just one more".

Beyond plush

There's merch too. The A6 furry notebook is around £5.99, and there's a furry pencil case and a silicone coin purse if you want the look without another plush on the pile.

Fuggler sizes and prices at a glance

Those are current UK prices and they shift with new releases, but the £3.99 to £24.99 spread covers nearly the whole plush line. Collector sets and multi-packs run a bit higher, up to around £32.99.

Which Fuggler should you buy?

Depends what you're after. Here's how we steer people.

• Best first Fuggler: a 9-inch classic like a Mini Rascals plush. It's the definitive size and the one you'll actually display.
• Best on a budget: a £3.99 squishie blind bag or a £4.99 keyring. Cheap, clip-on, and a low-risk way to see if the teeth grow on you.
• Best for the blind-box thrill: the Rad Edition blind boxes at £4.99. Same buzz as a Labubu or Squishmallows reveal, just uglier and prouder of it.
• Best statement piece: the 18-inch Bigg Fuggs at £24.99. That's the one guests notice.
• Best gift for kids: a standard 9-inch for older children, or a Baby Fugg for the very little ones, which is built for the youngest collectors.

Honest take: most people overthink the first purchase. Pick a 9-inch in a colour you like, or roll the dice on a blind bag. You'll be back for the rest soon enough.

The rarest Fugglers and the official crossovers

Part of the fun is the chase. The releases that go fastest are the limited-edition licensed crossovers and the seasonal drops.

The Fuggler x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plush, launched in late 2023, turns the four turtles into grinning fox-like monsters, shells and all. The SpongeBob SquarePants crossover runs across keyrings and blind-bag figures. Both are genuine Nickelodeon collaborations, not fan-made copies, which is exactly why collectors chase them. If you collect across fandoms, those crossover faces are the ones to prioritise.

Seasonal Festive Fuggs (Santa, Elf, Snowman and friends) show up around Christmas and tend to vanish by January. Some standard lines move fast too: the Hairy Fuggs often sell down to the last face or two. Once a limited run is gone it rarely comes back, so grab it when you see it rather than sleeping on it.

Common mistakes when buying Fugglers

• Ignoring who it's for. Standard Fugglers suit older kids and collectors. For babies, choose an actual Baby Fugg, which is designed for the very youngest.
• Assuming a blind box is a set design. Blind bags and boxes are random on purpose. Want a specific face? Buy an open, named plush instead.
• Buying unofficial copies. Genuine Fugglers have the sculpted plastic-teeth detail and proper build quality. Cheap lookalikes skip both, so stick to a seller that confirms the stock is the real thing.

Collected Labubu, Pop Mart blind boxes or Squishmallows before? The buying rhythm here will feel familiar: a core line you can pick by sight, plus blind formats for the gamblers.

Fuggler FAQ

Do Fugglers have real teeth?

No. The teeth are plastic, but they're modelled on human teeth, which is exactly what makes a Fuggler look so memorably odd. The very first hand-sewn Fugglers did use real dentures, and that's where the question comes from, but everything on sale today uses durable plastic.

Who makes Fugglers?

Fugglers are made by ZURU, the toy company behind several global plush and collectible lines. Every Fuggler we sell is a genuine, officially licensed piece.

What sizes do Fugglers come in?

The classic Fuggler is 9 inches. Baby Fuggs are about 3.5 inches, and the Bigg Fuggs plush stands a full 18 inches. Keyrings are roughly 4 inches with a clip, with squishies and blind-box minis below that.

Are SpongeBob and TMNT Fugglers official?

Yes. Both are officially licensed crossovers between Fuggler and Nickelodeon, so they're genuine collector pieces rather than fan-made copies.

What is the rarest Fuggler?

The limited-edition licensed crossovers, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plush, and the seasonal Festive Fuggs are the ones that sell out fastest. Once a limited run is gone it rarely returns, so it's worth grabbing when you spot it.

Fugglers won't be for everyone, and that's the point. They're ugly on purpose, cheap to start collecting, and weirdly hard to stop at one. Pick a face that makes you laugh and go from there.
