Who threw the toys into the fryer? The “Ugly-Cute Chicken Nuggets” blind box is here

The NUGGETS Ugly-Cute Chicken Nuggets series is what had the editor laughing out loud the most. These little guys have somehow turned into golden, crispy chicken nuggets, with 7 designs in all. They may look quiet and well-behaved sitting on a plate, but their signature goofy expressions are impossible to hide. This series makes a great little office decoration. A bit of this “wickedly delicious” humor on a busy afternoon is so comforting.

The clumsiest stealth mission ever: the “Chunky Bouncers” head into the jungle

Last is the CHUNKY FUGGS Chunky Bouncers series, packed with laughs. This group of pranksters tries to sneak into the jungle disguised as an axolotl, hippo, elephant, capybara, and even a snowman, only for their terrible acting and clumsy movements to give them away at every turn. That sense of a “carefully planned prank” is exactly where FUGGLER’s appeal lies. Seeing them in ill-fitting animal costumes can’t help but make you laugh out loud; they’re the ultimate weapon against an ordinary daily routine!

A must for cat lovers! The “Alley Night Cats” series will warm your heart

If you love a soft, plush feel, the ALLEY CATS Alley Night Cats series is definitely the first choice. The series captures cats’ dual personalities: well-behaved by day and mischievous at night. Their furry appearance, paired with FUGGLER’s distinctive lively eyes, is exquisitely made. More than a trendy collectible, these little cats feel like a small everyday joy amid busy city life, keeping you company late at night as you discover the little beautiful moments in life.

What are the must-buy highlights at FUGGLER’s Hong Kong store?

The store opening brings plenty of exciting merchandise. The most anticipated item is the FUGGLER scarf, launching first in Hong Kong. It’s a fashion piece that’s hard to find elsewhere, and it looks especially eye-catching worn around the neck or tied to a bag. If you love the comforting feel of oversized plush toys, be sure to bring home one of the “Dreamy Giants” from the store, with their soft texture and signature quirky expressions. The store has also launched a special FUGGLER Y2K DIY kit. It includes a range of colorful accessories, so you can decorate the toy to your liking and dress it up with all kinds of trendy adornments. The newly released FUGGLER phone cases are another top pick: durable and impact-resistant, and sure to draw attention wherever you go. Beyond the toys themselves, practical girls will love the FUGGLER crossbody bag, which works well with casual outfits or more individual streetwear looks.
