flashback friday favorite ~ moody rudy

this is a flashback friday favorite post from years ago..

a 1977 expressa-flex toy created by art clokey, creator of gumby ~ (tongue & teeth included) 'for ages 4 to 100 and over'.. lol ~

made for the prema toy co. in santa monica, california, this item mint in box is like the holy grail for a gumby collector. i found this one in a little shop in la called chic-a-boom.. it even contained the rare & hilarious manual which i will now share here ~

how to handle the many moods of moody rudy ~

first of all, do not let moody rudy see this manual ~

he is indeed enlightened ~

i consider him to be the grand poobah of gumbydom ~

experiment with him ~

i think rudy was patterned after clark gable? ~

but he's a little bit reminiscent of mattel's squishies..

squishie witch

gumby features prominately in the moody rudy commercial, which can be found on certain older family home entertainment released vhs tapes of the original gumby adventures.. or you can just view it here ~ but beware.. he'll turn your mind into coffee grounds! ~
