Fuggler Dolls Contain Fake Human Teeth

Fuggler dolls are frightening plush toys that contain fake human teeth. There is very little known about the Fuggler, besides that it's created by someone named Mrs. McGettrick from England.

The Fuggler taps into a niche or hidden market for plush dolls that aren’t attractive—rather, scary and perhaps repulsive to some. However, because of its uniqueness, perhaps it may be construed as a work of art, as opposed to a bedtime companion (imagine waking up in the middle of the night to one of these things hovering over you with a kitchen knife). The nice part about Fugglers is that they’re hand-made by sweet Mrs. McGettrick herself, making each Fuggler a one-of-a-kind piece.

Besides plush Fugglers you can also purchase Fuggler cups for that morning cup of joe (assuming you survive the night).
