Ugly Snuglies Reviews
Plush pets are big business, and with Ugly Snuglies we have a product which attempts to encompass a number of features typically coveted by consumers of this type of toy. With 6 silly designs touted as “so ugly, they’re cute” we see that each includes a special feature. These range from a radio to backpack to coin bank (see above). Thus, the choice is made that much more difficult for kids who may want a specific feature and a particular animal.
Ugly Snuglies are probably larger than the average As Seen on TV plush pet, which could be a pro or con depending on the parent. The variety of features seems to encompass features from other plush pets which have advertised over the years into a single line of products.
Although the cost of $29-$37 seems on the high side, keep in mind that these are somewhat oversized, which can at least somewhat offset the sticker shock.
Similar Products
There are a seemingly infinite number of plush toys for kids, including a rather long line of those in the As Seen on TV category. Recent competitors would be Bright Eyes Pets (review) and Stuffies (review).
