flashback friday favorite ~ weird gumbys

as host of gumbyland i've seen a lot of weird gumbys ~

sometimes they're kinda adorable like these tiny plush toys ~

sometimes downright weird like this big shaggy gumby ~

i've been scanning the ebay listings since ebay first came around & i've seen all kinds so i thought i'd share ~

angry gumby ~

gumby with eyes only ~

often the cutest weird gumbys are made by the ace novelty company ~

i even have a few up at gumbyland ~

some gumbys are only recognizable as gumby by the color ~

fuzzy gumby ~

one eyebrow.. among other things ~

some gumbys are weird only because their owner doesn't seem to know better ~

this was listed up on ebay this way for weeks *face palm* ~

ok, i'm updating here with this 'gumby' head (Not.) listed on ebay for $8.95 oh dear.. ~

i often find these vintage gumby knock-offs with the round head listed as gumby ~

they have toes! ~

they are usually marked papco on the back ~

actually these mini guys are currently listed ~

(i'd be interested at a fraction of the cost..) ~

this gargantuan gumby lives in myrtle beach & his owner offered to sell it to me, but it turned out the shipping would be equivalent to bringing home a deceased loved one, so i had to pass it up ~

giant gumbys ~

& weird is not bad ~

here's a photo of a vintage blowup gumby i've never come across before ~

he looks like he has a moustache & dark eyebrows? ~

this weird santa gumby is too adorable ~

weird pokeys tomorrow ~

(these pix are not mine, they were all gathered on the internet) ~

zombie gumby! ~

gumby graves! ~

this has been a flashback friday favorite post from xmas of 2015.. update: i just love this little lot of tiny weird gumbys from my friend & fellow gumby collector, thanks sally! :D ~

weird is wonderful..

flashback friday favorite ~ doodle art

this is a flashback friday favorite post from xmas of 2015.. time for me to share my lost & found xmas gift ~

back in july of 1977 on toxic's 12th birthday we got to pick our own birthday gift & it was this original jungle doodle art & pen set ~

dig those butterflies ~

well i've searched to replace this & the mythology poster toxic got later but never found them until recently when the company playtime released new original doodle art for sale ~

they don't seem to carry the mythology one yet but i'm hoping with the grown-up coloring book craze will come the release of all the original designs that we vintage kids remember ~

instead of the classic white cardboard tube now they come in a clear plastic one ~

the end screws off to become a handy pen holder ~

the pens have both fine point & full point ends ~

now i just feel a craving for a chocolate whipped cream bar from annie's & i'm all set! ~

lost & found! doodle art is back!

jungle & mythology ~

my son was fortunate enough to grow up with the nickelodeon channel ~

so it was always on at our house & the sounds & shows became favorites ~

& on the subject of sounds, these burp buttons were a special favorite at our house, especially when kitties would step on them :D ~

these kids meal prizes were from bk 2009 ~

promoting the nick kids' choice awards ~

also my son woke up each school morning with this cool nickelodeon clock/radio ~
