# Freaky Human-Infused Dolls Fuggler Dolls Contain Fake Human Teeth By Thomas Wade-West | Published 2013-09-23 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuggler-dolls References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/fugglers-creepy-plushies-with-fake-human-teeth/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/130432822/not-this-fuggler-seed-but-one-like-it?ref=shop_home_active) Fuggler dolls are [frightening plush toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giggle-pickles) you can also purchase Fuggler cups for that morning cup of joe (assuming you survive the night). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Frightening Plush Toys:** Opportunity exists for creating a line of unique, unsettling plush toys that tap into a hidden market for unconventional and perhaps frightening designs. - **Handmade One-of-a-kind Toys:** There is an opening for creating one-of-a-kind toys that are handmade by the creator, giving each piece a unique value and potentially increasing the perception of the product as an art piece. - **Niche Market for Repulsive Toys:** There is an unexplored market potential for toys that are purposely designed to be repulsive as opposed to being a traditional comforting and attractive companion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** Incorporating unique, unsettling designs for plush toys and creating one-of-a-kind pieces could offer a new direction for the toy industry with potential for capturing previously untapped markets. - **Art and Sculpture Industry:** Creating repulsive art pieces that serve as functional toys or collectibles may provide a new outlet for artists and sculptors, presenting a new way of looking at the relationship between art and play. - **Gift and Novelty Industry:** Marketing unusual and repulsive novelty items like Fuggler cups could serve as an add-on for consumers who value unique and quirky purchases and gift-giving options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Interactive Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-plush-toys.md) - [Sensorial Anime Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz.md) - [90s-Inspired Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-1.md) - [Anthropomorphic Cup Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusesable-coffee.md) - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Imaginative Soft Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blabla.md) - [Plush Toy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urupochachan.md)
