What is your favorite and most desirable rubber ugly character? Without a doubt, mine would be Iris aka Joel. Here are the 3 I have. A later version on the left, an early in the middle and most likely a 1st generation on the right. I thought the bottom of the 1st generation was kinda unusual. I think I might of sold one to Monsterman1962 with that square shape on the underside. Anyway, let's see that one rubber ugly that is your favorite. Dave.   |

For those who know my collection it’s no surprise that Joel too is my favorite RU. I find the grossness factor in the separating eyeball and the tentacles just too appealing. BTW: All my 1st Gen JOEL’s have that scoop of rubber on their undersides along with the HK stamp. But they all look different, very hand-made) I should take some pictures of that feature sometime.

Oh boy, this is a really tough question for me to answer. Joel is at the top of my list, but I find so many of the sculpts to be wonderful. I guess I'm a bit partial to Rita, the clumsy looking cyclops.

Since everyone seems to really like Joel I thought I would post mine along with Paula. I always loved this mold as a kid but I am more partial to others as an adult. None the less, I wanted to go with the flow! Attachments:

I still can't make a solid choice. Before I first clicked on this thread months ago, Joel was the first that came to mind.
All I can say is that there is a little something to love about all of them.
I think that's why I like P.V.C. Animals so much. They are lovely Frankenstein toys made from random rubber ugly attributes to create a single fantasy creature.
When it comes to uglies, or any other toy for that matter, I think certain base rubber/paint color combinations can really bring a toy to life more than others.

I agree 100% that color is very important. I am very partial to green as the base rubber color as I have a lot of favorites that would look cool even without paint because they are green. True red as a rubber color is cool as well but very hard to come by. I have one Daniel and one Al that are red. Not to be confused with the very dark orange rubber.

I am really starting to like Paula, even though she may not even be an actual Ugly.
That purple/yellow one of Astronit's that I seem to see everywhere is to die for!
I have one but it appears to be a later reissue of rather flimsy orange rubber (but I guess it will do till I can get my hands on a first-generation one!).
I also am partial to the only four I ever had as a kid: Joel, Steve, Florence, and Alvin (of course I didn't know their names back then!). I distinctly remember having these 4 when I was a kid...I may have had others (I know my brother & I had a crap-ton of rubber critters we kept in a metal box!) but these are the only 4 I remember having that were actual Uglies. So I have always been a bit sentimental to these guys! :-)
