A McD's toy worth picking up...(but now you gotta find it!)...and UPDATE!
You may have remembered seeing the Happy Meal toys linked to the Pirates of the Carribean II movie release a month or so ago at McDonald's. (Now don't try and tell us you don't keep an eye on Happy Meal toys!)
Most of the toys are plastic pirate related toys, but two are plush dolls, one of Jack Sparrow, and the other of a skeleton pirate.
These two dolls seemed a little...different...from the rest, and for good reason. According to the latest issue of Giant Robot, they were designed by UGLYDOLL designers, David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. we thought we recognized them from somewhere.

UPDATE!
We just confirmed with Uglydoll that this was NOT designed byDavid Horvath and Sun-Min Kim! (Thanks for the tip, TommyGreen.) Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it's nice to get paid, too.

It was a misprint. Mcy D's ripped off Horvath's Littlebony, so Giant Robot was confused. And did you see the fake Uglydolls cat toys at Petco?
"Thanks for your note. Neither Sun-Min Kim nor David Horvath have designed toys for McDonalds.
Hope that helps clear things up.
Ugly wishes!
