what's new at gumbyland?

what's new up at gumbyland? ~

there's a new gumby dvd available for gumby fans ~

the 80's adventures are finally available fully remastered ~

& there's a version with bendies too ~

gumby's oldest & dearest friends, prickle & goo ~

'dr prickle, please.. dr of atology, bicology & pseudofryology, now what's your problem?' ~

full sized bendies ~

the 2 dvd set includes a special tribute to joe clokey in the extras ~

i'm home sick this weekend so i'll probably binge-watch this ~

it's volume #1 so there will be a part #2 eventually ~

ad included ~

also of note, the gumby's world game app stopped working for me ~

but not before i snagged a bunch more cool prizes like these mini graphics & card foil sets ~

& best of all these 2 different collectible enamel pins ~

i'm thinking these are exclusives ~

clayboy claymate of the year ~

from premavision & rockinpins ~

also i need to mention, if you've experienced problems with gumbyland & my blogs lately it's due to typepad changing over to secure https, so this weekend i'll be securing gumbyland & the ghost gallery as well, hopefully to eliminate any incompatibilities soon! ~

my little book of dinosaurs

my little book of dinosaurs ~

from merrigold press ~

1973 ~

dinosaurs always feel like childhood friends ~

thanks to original gumby adventures, i think of this triceratops as trixie (well almost, it's a protoceratops) ~

there were often dinosaurs on the gumby show ~

& toxic's first grade class had a dinosaur diorama in class ~

a tiny diney was added to the diorama each week as we'd learn about each new kind ~

thank you, mrs dehardt ~

vintage kid stuff to watch

it's our birthday today & toxic is taking over the blog for the day! ~

toxic is the nickname i've used forever for my own inner child, she's here & wants to share all her favorite vintage kid dvds to binge watch in the ac this weekend, flashback friday style ~

obviously we've already posted about some of these rather extensively, so let's just get down to the obvious right off:

gumby
davey & goliath
wizard of oz

click the links to visit entire categories devoted to these toxic favorites ~

i've also posted the original addams family & the munsters tv shows here before ~

classic toxic favorites ~

toxic still loves the little rascals & our gang comedies ~

we found this mega pack collector's edition bootleg that has a bunch of the originals ~

another favorite was the 70s tv show family ~

toxic liked kristy mcnichol's character, buddy ~

she also liked the pippi longstocking book & movies ~

because, let's face it, she is weird & badass ~

long before the peter jackson films our son loves were these animated versions that toxic watched on tv over & over & over every year ~

tolkien is another author i've devoted an entire category to here at the lost & found ~

another favorite book & animated film, watership down ~

toxic always liked to watch the family film festival on channel 5 down in socal every weekend ~

it was hosted by tom hatten, who would often show comedy favorites like the road movies with bob hope & bing crosby, with little rascals shorts before or after ~

he showed the best movies like the time machine or fantastic voyage, & he'd tell all kinds of information like hosts do on TCM, plus often show popeye cartoons ~

i'm sure that's where toxic would've seen the original willy wonka movie with gene wilder ~

a special favorite is the 1969 film called my side of the mountain ~

toxic was always scheming to run away from home & live up in the snow ~

she felt like an orphan with parents ~

speaking of orphans, the artful dodger from oliver is our favorite ~

jack wilde, who starred in the cool psychedelic old sid & marty krofft show, hr pufnstuf ~

such 60s fun ~

i always say, witchiepoo was my earliest fashion influence ~

this dvd set of the complete series includes the best coloring book & the music from the show ~

some examples from the book ~

toxic would've loved to have had these in her day when she could've played them on their family hammond organ with her other favorite songs ~

how lucky i am ~

the theme song for the show, someone who cares, which is a ridiculously powerful earworm (caution!) ~

witchiepoo again ~

sid & marty krofft also gave us the bizarre lidsville & land of the lost ~

such melodrama in this show! ~

toxic also wanted to be holly ~

she's also seen every episode of little house on the prairie more times than i can count ~

toxic tv :D click me!

more like this next flashback friday..
