Hugga Bunch: Hugs and Kisses for Everyone

Hugga Bunch History
The Hugga Bunch was a toy line from the Kenner and Parker Brothers companies for Hallmark greeting cards. Starting in early 1985, the companies manufactured the Hugga Bunch dolls, each of which held a smaller doll called a "huglet" in their arms. During that year, the line generated over US$40 million in sales

Premise
The Hugga Bunch live in a magical faraway place called "Hugga-Land". With the help of Huggins, Hugsy, Patooty, Tickles, and Bubbles, they go all around the world on Missions in Caring thwarting the evil plans of the organization "The Mirror Empire.

Huggins (Voiced by Tracey Moore)
Sweet, curious, and loving, Huggins has all the makings of a full-fledged future Princess of Hugga-land. Almost never seen without her best friend Tuggins, the two always seem to get themselves into crazy situations thanks to their boundless curiosity and playful attitudes with their other friends. Huggin's catchphrase is "Huggy-Wuggy-Awesome".

Tuggins (Voiced by Robert Tinkler)
He was originally entitled "Hugsy" in the 1985 television-film. In Tuggins' own mind, Tuggins is a full-fledged, full-grown citizen of Hugga-Land, and can be really brave, though he is hardly ever without his best friend. They both get along, but like every friend, they sometimes fight. Naturally curious and playful, Tugs and Hugs have a habit of getting into trouble, and are usually looked after by Precious Hugs and Precious Kisses.

Patooty (Voiced by Terri Hawkes)
If sharing truly is caring, then Patooty may just be the best of the gang. This incredibly selfless bear would gladly give up his last possession to make someone happy, even if he couldn't magically duplicate it first. But sharing objects is only half of his character, and he just as willing to share a laugh, some fun, sweets, or some advice with anyone around.

Tickles (Voiced by Stephanie Anne Millis)
Tickles doesn't have to be a doctor to know that laughter is the best medicine. According to her, there's no situation that can't be improved by looking at the humorous side, and sometimes laughing in the face of adversity is the best way to overcome it. Because laughter is infectious, she stays giddy most of the time, hoping that her happy-go-lucky attitude will rub off on her friends and the kids she helps.

Bubbles (Voiced by Sugar Lyn Beard)
While most Huggaland citizens probably wouldn't pass up the opportunity to have some fun or join in a game, Bubbles takes her leisure activities to a whole other level. Though not as competitive as some of his other physically-inclined compatriots, she's more interested in just having a good time and spreading the joy of camaraderie to others. If all work and no play make someone a dull Huggland citizen, this girl'll never be stuck in the doldrums.
