prickle plush toy

there's cool gumby stuff to look forward to coming this summer ~

i've seen some sneak peeks! ;) ~

but for right now i'm sharing this rare prickle plush toy ~

prickle may be my favorite of gumby's friends ~

art clokey made prickle & goo based on alan watts' description of people being either prickly types or gooey types ~

my friend jeff at papercutz calls prickle 'persnickety but with a heart of goo' ~

he's complicated & feels misunderstood, the artist of the group ~

from prema 1998, i've only seen these large plush toys available as imports ~
