Who is Winkolina?

Who is Winkolina? We’ll tell you who! Winkolina is the latest edition to the Ugly Doll crew!

“You may look at Winkolina and say “There goes a really plain, regular, everyday looking Ugly.” But on the inside, Winkolina is an adventure waiting to happen. Which is funny because she sees that in you too! Winkolina thinks you have nothing but action and adventure locked away, way deep down! Is she right? Are you ready to show the world what you’ve really got going on in there? Winkolina has 6 cookies, an apple, and 11 tacos in there. What about you?”

Winkolina is available for pre-order from the lovely Uglydoll store HERE for just $20!

It seems the award winning plush series is set to keep on growing, and I for one believe that to be a very good thing indeed! But the real question is…when will all these new characters find their way into a continuation of the original vinyl line? Seems unfair to leave the likes of Deer Ugly, Moxy, Babo’s Bird, Po, Winkolina and the rest of the latest additions out.

So c’mon if you’re reading this Mr Horvath, keep up the awesome plush work but don’t forget your new characters when it comes to the vinyl scene ;)
