The brainchild of designer Paul Budnitz, Kid Robot is at the forefront of the growing art toy movement. Aimed towards older teens and adults, the items sold by the Kid–many designed by enormously popular artists in coveted limited editions–prefer the mantelpiece to the toy box

Perfect for geeks, hipsters, wannabes, nerds, graphic designers, surly teenagers, funky teenagers, funky-smelling teenagers, and anyone who’d rather stare at a Boba Fett action figure than a still life of fruit.

Not really ugly

Ugly dolls are cute, cuddly

Irony, get it?

Each Ugly doll comes with a short backstory and enough charisma to charm the pants off of children, hipsters, Seniors, and perhaps even the most cynical of creatures: the teenager.
