And he also loves hugs.He is the most huggable monster in the bunch.His button eyes make him safe for children three years of age or older.

Weewah

$R10OWPT
Weewah grew up in a small community of monsters that had no contact with the outside world. Everything he says starts with the letter W. You see, he speaks a language called Weewah and hasn't been able to learn English or the hybrid language monster/english. His words are impossible to understand but he still manages to communicates his wants and needs. Buddy is 8" tall. Handsewn eyes mean he's baby safe but he gets along with children of all ages.

Loki


Don't let his "aw shucks" demeanor fool you. Loki is a little trouble maker. He's been hiding my can of Folger's every day, since he's joined us. He figured out it's the one thing I need to set my world right first thing in the morning and thought it would be fun to push my buttons.He promises to be good if we find him a nice home, but I recommend you hide your coffee.Loki is 7" tall and babysafe

Fluffy


Fluffy's name isn't very original, but don't blame her. She didn't name herself. And there's no denying that she is soft and fluffy. The name could not be more fitting.She loves hugs and butterfly kisses.Fluffy is 10 inches tall from toe to tip and baby safe.

Blooey


Blooey is a little sensitive about his appearance. He's only 5 and half inches tall and he's heavier than he thinks he should be for his height. I've told him repeatedly that he looks fine but that doesn't stop him from worrying. Aside from that one little insecurity, he's a very sweet monster and would make someone a great companion.I consider him baby safe because of the hand sewn eyes.

Yule


Yule is a little off center. His mouth is crooked. His eyes are uneven. One arm is longer than the other. But he acts and behaves like any other little monster. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with him, so why should we tell him? We just treat him like one of the gang.To tell you the truth, all of my monsters are a little unbalanced.Baby safe. 7" tall.

Bugsy


Bugsy is a tough guy. He doesn't like to be trifled with. Don't look at him the wrong way or he'll do something about it. We've had him enrolled in behavior modification classes here at the Vexillia monster school but he couldn't care less.We are torn between breaking him down to build him back him into the monster that we want or just letting him find his own way. Perhaps, on his own, he'll learn how to behave like a proper monster.Perhaps not.

Alan


His name is Alan. It says so, right there on his pants. Alan's favorite activity is visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. His favorite painting is George Washington Crossing the Delaware by Leutze. But his favorite wing is the newly renovated Greek and Roman sculpture wing. We love Alan.Button eyes make him unsafe for babies. Recommended for children three years of age and up.

Warbler


It's natural to assume that Warbler likes to sing. But the opposite couldn't be more true. Warbler doesn't even like to talk, let alone express herself in song. My husband and I have been trying to draw her out of her shell. We are making slow progress. I guess when she has something to say, she will start talking. Until then, we just have to be patient with her.Maybe you could get her to talk?Warbler is 10 inches tall and baby safe.

Mweedle


Mweedle is a lavender bunny. She really likes Easter because that's her birthday. Her favorite activity is hiding Easter eggs and then finding them. But she doesn't hide REAL eggs. Her eggs are mostly made out of chocolate. Just a few are marshmallow.I f you count her ears, Mweedle measures 12 inches tall. Mweedle is machine washable on the gentle cycle and baby safe.

Trillipa



Trillipa is related to Gralk. They inherited their jumpsuits from their great great grandmother. Trillipa is more mature than Gralk and more suited for older children - button eyes and all.Trillipa would also be a good stocking stuffer. 8" tall, Trillipa is recommended for children three years of age and up.

Gralk


Gralk is not as grumpy as he looks. His Charlie Brown like mouth is a result of complicated genetics. His mother was a smiley monster while his father was a frowny monster. Gralk is proud to share the same colors as Christmas time and hopes to find himself snuggling in a comfy sock that is hanging from a mantle - somewhere. Doesn't matter. Just as long as he feels loved.Gralk is 8" tall and is not as confused as he looks. He is all handsewn.

Linnea

Linnea
Linnea is a lovable, huggable monster. She is definitely not scary making her the disappointment of her family. But she doesn't care. She is her own monster and she just doesn't like to scare people. Standing at 6" tall, Linnea has button eyes. I would give her to a child that has stopped eating his or her toys. She is not safe for babies especially those who like to explore the world with his/her mouth.

Blossom

DSC02175
Blossom is a late bloomer. Although she does communicate with her hands, she isn't quite using words yet. I imagine speech will come with time and patience. I am confident in her ability to learn. She likes to be read to. Her favorite book is The Snowman. I think it's because the story is told with pictures and not words. Blossom is 6" and completely handsewn with no removable parts.

Clancy


Clancy is related to another monster listed at Vexillia Sock Monsters named Chauncy. They were made from the same socks and bare a striking resemblance to one another. There are differences, the biggest one being Clancy's IQ. While Chauncy believes anything you tell him, Clancy questions everything. Clancy can get on our nerves, which is why we're trying to teach him better social skills at our school for Monsters. Clancy is 9" tall with matching button eyes. I recommend him for children three years of age and up.

Big Red


Big Red is one of the tallest monsters at Vexillia Sock Monsters, standing almost 12" tall. He's truly monstrous, as one of his favorite activities is stomping around the house, terrorizing the smaller monsters and making them scamper and scream.Big Red has button eyes which makes him a bit of a choking hazard so I recommend him for children three years of age and up.

Shorty


Shorty was inspired by a teddy bear I saw the other day. I wanted to make a cute and cuddly little monster in very soft colors. Shorty is 8" tall but looks shorter for some reason.Shorty has matching button eyes.

Elliot


I made Elliot while working at the Broadway show Billy Elliot. I had a lot of down time and was able to start and finish Elliot in two sittings. Elliot is wearing a stylish track suit made from one of the many many pairs of socks I bought earlier this year. In total, I used four socks to create him.Regarding his personality, he's a little bit pushy. A bit of a bully, we caught him making fun of poor little Chauncy. In spite of all the teasing, Chauncy still likes Elliot.With his soft horns, Elliot is 11" tall.Recommended for children, three years of age and up.

Marco

DSC02136
Marco's favorite game to play is hide and seek. He's our second monster to really excel at the game. There was one time that he hid so well, we completely forgot about him. Marco has button eyes which makes him risky for children under three years of age. Marco is very soft and stands about 8" tall.

Plink

DSC02139
Plink has a little bit of a Napoleon complex. He got tired of being picked on by the bigger monsters. So, he talked to some of the other little monsters that live at the Vexillia sock monster factory and convinced them to make a little gang. Now they stand up to the bigger monsters. But sometimes I get worried they might try to take over the house. Plink is 6" tall and made out of two different socks. His button eyes are a choking hazard so use your best judgement.
