The Instagram-famous account that features 'Blobby & Friends' recently entered the market with the launch of inclusive toys, adorable underwear, and a non-profit organization under the brand name 'Uncute.'
The portfolio includes three adorable plush animals that star in the online comics: Blobby the Blobfish, a big-mouthed pink head, Proboscis the Monkey, a long-nosed yellow blob, and Roly Poly, the blue snail-like creature with adorable eyes.
The underwear line, on the other hand, includes the Blobby Underwear Bikini and Briefs in three fun colorways. Both pieces are made with the custom Micromodal fabric, a textile prized for its softness and resistance to shrinkage. The sock collection also pays homage to the adorable characters in the comic and are available in pink, blue, and yellow. Fans of the account can also get their hands on slippers, shirts, and more.
Fans can shop the entire collection online at Uncute.com and a portion of all proceeds will go toward helping homeless and runaway youth as well as supporting kids in detention centers.
