The rarest Fugglers are the handmade originals sold by Louise McGettrick in her Etsy shop prior to 2018. The rarest commercially produced Fugglers are the “Chase” Fugglers, which have burlap fur and glow-in-the-dark eyes and teeth. These include a Mr. Buttons, Teddy Bear Nightmare, Suspicious Fox, & Count Fuggula.

Pre-2018 Handmade Fugglers Fugglers were originally the creation of Louise McGettrick. In 2010, she started an Etsy shop where she sold odd handmade plushes with staring eyes and human-like teeth. She sold Fugglers to Spin Master Toys in 2018, and those handmade Fugglers she originally offered in her shop are now the rarest of Fuggler collectibles.^{[1]

- What’s it worth? The original one-of-a-kind Fugglers don’t come up for sale very often, but when they do, they can sell for hundreds of dollars—or more. For instance, this one-of-a-kind handmade Fuggler sold for over $1,100 (£850) in August 2026, and this mint green one sold for $1,000 in May 2026.

- Mr. Buttons: Dark brown burlap bear-ish creature. This is the only Chase that didn’t get another production run from Addo, so it’s the rarest.
  - What’s it worth? Up to $250
- Teddy Bear Nightmare: Beige burlap bear
  - What’s it worth? Up to $150
- Suspicious Fox: Brown burlap fox
  - What’s it worth? Up to $150

Catch-Me Button Fugglers All Fugglers have a “button hole”—or a button about where their … well, “butt-on” hole would be (These started out as a way for Mrs. McG to sign her work and have since turned into a brand signature.^{[4]

Research source}). These buttons are usually beige, but Catch-Me Fugglers have a colorful button instead.
- About 1 in 24 Fugglers is a Catch-Me. They’re packed and shipped to stores alongside regular Fugglers, and you typically can’t tell the difference unless you open the box.
- What do they look like? This TikTok from @fugglerloveler showcases the difference between the regular beige buttons and the colorful catch-me buttons.
- What’s it worth? While Catch-Me Fugglers are rarer than regular versions, they’re not as hard to find as Chase Fugglers or retired drops, so their resale price tends to only be a little higher than a regular Fuggler, maxing out at around $40 or so for full-size Fugglers and around $20 for miniature sizes or keychains.

Limited Release & Retired Fugglers Some Fugglers are produced in limited batches—so once they’re gone, they’re gone. Collectors who want one of these limited editions usually have to buy them on the secondhand market. Some of the rarest limited edition Fugglers include:
- Ruggler Clawey: A purple Clawey that looks like a bear-skin rug. It’s said there were only 200 of these made (although some reports say 500), and they were given away on Instagram.
  - What’s it worth? Up to $700
- 2018 Wal-Mart Christmas Exclusives: Limited holiday-themed Fuggler plushes that were only sold at Wal-Mart; considered rare and highly collectible. The Purple Sweater Edition and White Felt Mr. Buttons are both especially rare.
  - What’s it worth? Up to $700
- Gnawing Terror: A 2018 Fuggler wearing a straight jacket; highly desirable
  - What’s it worth? Up to $400
- Purple Mr. Buttons: The Mr. Buttons with purple fur is rarer than other versions, although not as rare as the Chase version.
  - What’s it worth? Up to $300 in the box

Fuggler Collabs Exclusive, highly-desired collabs can sell out quickly. While they’re not necessarily rare enough to command high prices, they can still be hard to get your hands on if you’re a collector. Some of the most popular Fuggler collabs include:
- DC Comics
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Gremlins
- Lord of the Rings
6
Regional Exclusive Fugglers Some Fugglers are only released in certain markets. If you live in another country, high international shipping costs can make it hard to get your hands on one of these. Some of the most popular regional exclusives include:
- Lord Long Ears Love Fugg: A Valentine’s-themed rabbit-like Fuggler only released in the UK.
  - What’s it worth? Up to $350
- Sickening Sloth: The light blue felt, green felt, and fuzzy grey variants of this UK-only release are all highly desired.
  - What’s it worth? Up to $250
- Oogah Boogah / Odd Oogah: The Oogah Boogah Fugglers are pretty common in the UK and Australia, but they’re harder to find in the US.

Handmade and limited edition Fugglers are the rarest. Kanzig says retired first generation toys are generally the most valuable, but it really depends on the condition of the item and whether it’s loose or still in the box.^{[5]

Expert Interview} The original handmade Fugglers are the rarest of all—there won’t ever be any more made, and they weren’t mass-produced, so their numbers are pretty limited. But even manufactured Fugglers can be rare, depending on factors like:
- Color and material: Some common Fuggler variants have rare color and material combos that can be hard to find, like the zebra-striped Grin Grin.
- Manufacturer: Fugglers were bought by Spin Master in 2018, then ownership moved to Addo Play in 2021, and most recently to ZURU in 2024. Some collectors prefer to focus on Fugglers from one specific era, like Spin Master plushes.
- Special versions: Chase, Catch-Me, and limited-edition Fugglers tend to be harder to find, both in store and on the secondhand market.

Tips for Buying Rare Fugglers

Check out these tips to make sure you’re buying an authentic Fuggler. It’s easy to find common Fugglers in stores—they’re really popular, and many big-box stores carry them. But if you’re looking for a specific rare Fuggler, it’s important to be a savvy shopper so you don’t get scammed. Here’s what to look for:
- Ask to see the receipt or original packaging. If the seller can provide you with their proof of purchase, it’s a good sign that the Fuggler is real. Similarly, if it’s new in box or has the original authenticity certificate, you can feel a little more confident about the purchase.
- If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. If a rare Fuggler regularly sells for $250+ and you find it for $60, it’s probably a counterfeit.
- Compare the Fuggler to pictures online. Carefully examine pictures of the fur texture, the color of the eyes, and details like the printing on the tag. Double-check the one you’re thinking about buying to make sure everything is identical.
- Check shop ratings: If you’re shopping online, only buy from sellers with a positive sales history. (But be wary of anyone with 100% positive ratings, especially if all of the reviews seem like they were written by the same person.)
