Weight Watchers Says Hungry is Not for Sale

8 Jan

Sorry guys, Weight Watchers is not selling Hungry stuffed animals right now.  Maybe if a bunch of people write them they’ll change their mind?  Email them!

Here’s what they said:

Dear Helen,

We are so pleased to know that you really like “HUNGRY”!  At this time, he is exclusively on air, and is ‘one of a kind.’  We agree that he is adorable!

Wishing you all the very best with your weight control efforts, and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Sincerely,

Vicki
Corporate Affairs Representative
Weight Watchers International,  Inc.

    Aww. My boyfriend really wants one, hah. Maybe *we* should make one – he doesn’t look too hard to make! Even better – let’s contact the makers of the Muppet’s!

    • Helen January 9, 2009 at 11:27 am #

      You’re right! He doesn’t look hard to make! Anyone want to join me for craft time? :)

      I SO WANT one as well..I think WeightWatchers could have a nice little side biz here.

    If you are successful let me know what I can do to help! My fiance wants one too!

  7. Chris January 16, 2009 at 10:05 am #

    I think he would be great for the times when I’m craving junk food – I could just cuddle him instead! I really think he would help!

  8. Jody January 17, 2009 at 10:25 am #

    Super GREAT marketing tool not to mention evey time you look at him it’s a reminder to loose weight! Everyone needs him, Kitchen, Car, Office, etc….a constant reminder!!

    you should really make your mascot for sale. because hes adorable not only would it help your profits but it would also help your costomers with their problems because everytime they would want to eat they can just hold hungary

  10. LesiaT January 26, 2009 at 10:54 pm #

    Yes! my daughter wants one really bad

  11. Tabitha Casteel January 27, 2009 at 12:58 pm #

    STOP ASKING for “Hungry Dolls!” If everyone says having a Hungry Doll will help them lose weight, Weight Watchers will NEVER make them available for sale because, then, Weight Watchers won’t make as much money selling their food products & programs. So STOP asking for Hungry Dolls. Make one! Or paste a copy of one on your refrigerator!

  15. Rachel February 16, 2009 at 8:22 pm #

    The Weight Watcher’s “hungry” is a Grumbelly Monster. If you search “orange grumbelly monster” you will find them. You can buy them on eBay.

  16. Debbie February 19, 2009 at 1:16 pm #

    Whenever “Hungry” appears on TV my boyfriend makes it a point to let me know he wants one. It has become my mission to get him one…so when they do become available…PLEASE let me know.

  17. Christina O'Brien March 1, 2009 at 1:39 pm #

    I make Hungry the weight watcher monster!!
    In my Etsy shop!

  21. Angela March 9, 2009 at 2:37 pm #

    Awww I’ve been looking all over for one. My 2 year old niece just loves hungry everytime he pops up on TV she just laughs.

  22. Mark March 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm #

    There’s a site that’s keeping track of when/if they release a Hungry Doll…Grumbelly.com. You can submit your email and they’ll let you know when the doll is available.

  23. maria escalante March 17, 2009 at 1:03 pm #

    we all want one!! please please!!!!!

  24. Scott Migliore March 25, 2009 at 9:43 pm #

    I want a Hungry!!! :D

  25. Joey Reinleib March 31, 2009 at 9:53 pm #

    My wife and I would love to get the little loveable guy. I know people at work all want one and there’s a lot of money to be made for whoever can produce copies. If anyone knows when hungry becomes available please let us know, Many thanks. ramblinjoey@aol.com

    I am looking for a “Hungry” stuffed animal, too! Please, oh please, create one…He makes me smile every time I see him! He reminds me of a character from Sesame Street or the Muppets.

  27. Steve April 12, 2009 at 11:42 pm #

    There is a new commercial out featuring Mr. Hungry. It was aired this evening on VH1. Didn’t see it on the Weight Watchers website or on YouTube, so it must be brand new.

  28. Anonymous April 20, 2009 at 11:31 am #

    I just bought a Hungry at the Meeting Center where I live! :) He’s ADORABLE. They are selling a small stuffed magnet for $4, and a 6″ plush for $6.

  29. lets keep you guessing April 20, 2009 at 10:03 pm #

    I’m not orange or fuzzy but I am hungry :)

  30. Anonymous April 20, 2009 at 10:56 pm #

    I too have thought of just making my own “Hungry”. I can’t believe that sooo many people have fallen for that lil guy, like I have. Weight Watchers.. if you don’t want to sell these darling animals, well then, I will myself set out to make my OWN Hungry animal ! I suspect that you guys hold some legal hold upon this, so no one could sell it without your permission..right?
    I will let you all know if I am successful.

    just kliky in E.Texas

  31. sally April 28, 2009 at 1:14 pm #

    I want a hungry doll!!!!!!He is such a cute reminder!!!!!!!

  33. Bambi May 22, 2009 at 7:19 pm #

  34. sam June 11, 2009 at 12:39 am #

    my boyfriend gets such a kick out of mr. hungry and he’s growing on me too! i’d love to get him a stuffed animal as a gift if they were made!

  35. Anonymous June 12, 2009 at 2:56 pm #

    I WENT TO E-BAY TO CHECK ON THE HUNGRY DOLL. I DONT’ UNDERSTAND WHY WEIGHTWATCHERS IS NOT SELLING THEM.

  36. Anonymous June 15, 2009 at 4:34 pm #

    I really want one! I just wish I knew how to make it happen!

  37. Laura June 30, 2009 at 11:23 pm #

    Why did they pull these at all the WW nationwide today? Was it that they were poor quality crap toys with eyebrows falling off? Serious choking hazard! SCARY! I would have paid more to have a better quality gossamer! This one is crap!

    She makes wonderful plush Grumbelly monsters. I highly recommend her. :)

  40. Don & Sandy September 12, 2009 at 9:44 pm #

    Yes by all means we would really like a Hungry mascot.

  41. Mary E. Waugaman September 13, 2009 at 4:55 pm #

    My kids think Hungry is awesome. Is possible to get him.

  42. Erica September 17, 2009 at 1:31 pm #

    All – I found a website where they sell Hungry dolls – they aren’t Weight Watchers originals (obviously, since they got pulled), but they’re identical, adorable, and CHEAPER than any you’ll find. I’ve seen them for $30-50…that’s ridiculous. This site charges under $25 plus shipping and handling. AND they have dolls and magnets. Let me know if anyone is interested!!!

    • Michaela September 21, 2009 at 10:57 am #

      I would love to get the Hungry doll for my boyfriend. Please send me the website you found!

      • Erica September 22, 2009 at 10:18 am #

        It looks like the website is under construction – she is adding all kinds of cool stuff – sort of like Build a Bear! You can get a golf hungry or a hungry with a Harley shirt – you know?! It’s so cute! Hungry is becoming famous!! I still have her email address written down if you want to email since the website is being worked on. She takes pay pal payments as well! It’s ricofae22@yahoo.com! Enjoy!!!

    • leo mansu September 24, 2009 at 10:33 pm #

      hi could you forward the email address for the hungry look alike doll

  43. Holly September 21, 2009 at 1:18 pm #

    Could you send me the link to where I can get a hungry doll too?
    My husband said that’s all he wants for Christmas!!!!

    Thanks!

  44. Erica September 22, 2009 at 10:18 am #

    Holly – read the above reply to Michaela! :) Enjoy!

  45. Mandy September 28, 2009 at 7:49 pm #

    My one year old daughter always stops in her tracks in mid play to watch Hungry on the Weight Watchers commercial. She laughs and smiles while bouncing up and down to Mr. Hungry’s antics. Wish it was for sale. Would be fun to see her reaction to him in real life. 8)

  46. Erica October 1, 2009 at 8:32 am #

    The email address for hungry dolls is ricofae22@yahoo.com!!

  50. Michelle Beebe January 14, 2010 at 1:29 pm #

    this is now Jan.14 2010…..how about selling me a Hungry doll…..PLEEZE!!

  51. Debbie January 29, 2010 at 11:15 am #

    I think if the plush orange character was available, he would be like a buddyexspecially if you lkive on your own everybody needs that alittle ppush and I think would be awesome remember to help to keep you on track every time you see him you would think twice about cheating,Like a Key chain charcater to carry around with you or you can make it an incentive lose your 10% and you can purchase one I know he was the one that made up my mine to come back to
    weight watchers The commercial is the best yet and I’m an old timer I’ve been going off and on since 1975

  52. Maureen February 1, 2010 at 4:33 pm #

    My mom, sister, friends & I would all love to have hungry. He is soooo cute!!! We would love to have him too.
