Spin Master has acquired Fuggler, a line of collectible plush toys.

Fuggler, the line of “funny, ugly” monsters originated in the U.K. developed a cult following due to their odd features. Characteristics include toothy grins, grimace, eyes and signature “button” holes. The Fuggler brand currently offers more than 50 collectible toys.
