Gumby and His Surreal World of Swag

#tulgeywoodtvtuesday #gumby
Ever since he skated onto TV screens in the 1950s, Gumby has been a surreal sensation. The bendable clay boy continues to enchant audiences of all ages with his wildly imaginative adventures, created "in living color" and groundbreaking stop-motion animation. Trip out with me as I share some fun memorabilia inspired by peacefully green Gumby, his pony pal Pokey, and their friends. #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #artclokey

Always have loved Gumby and had several bendable ones growing up, including Pokey. Nice tribute to him, Jim!

[@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685]

Thanks so much, B.J.! So happy to hear that you had the "super flex" bendables...and that a Gumby fan of your quality enjoyed the video!

Great memories of childhood Amazing work fella

[@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Gumby was all the rage when it returned in 1988. I remember having some of the pose-able figures. Thanks for sharing. Of course now the theme song is in my head....GUMBY!

[@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685]

Had a feeling you would know that song... and happy to hear you had some of the "bendys". But did you have the Blockheads???

@@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685THERE WERE BLOCKHEADS?

[@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685]

@@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685 AH MAN I NEVER FOUND THEM AS A KID! Too bad they are quite pricey now!

Oh Jim Fanning! This was such a cool video! I always loved Gumby and thanks to you now I know a lot of things I never knew. I can't wait for another video with more, MORE, MORE! :-)

[@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685]

So happy you enjoyed the video (Gumby rocks!) and that you are waiting for a new video!

[@Onthebrink94]

Gumby has flown under my radar sadly for most of my life. Looks so fun and entertaining! Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers the Film included some references but of course that movie was… subpar

[@susanfit47]

I have Gumby, Pokey, Goo, Minga. I don't have the bendable Pokey, bendable Prickle, bendable Goo, bendable Minga, the miniature Prickle, the bendale Tara, the bendable Fatbuckle, Nobuckle and Thinbuckle just yet.

I learned a whole lot. I had no idea Gumby premiered on Howdy Doody! Never knew why he was green. I also never knew that there were overdressings for the figurines! Really fun, Jim! I always wondered why sometimes the eyes were red and sometimes they were black. Do you know why?

[@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685]

Happy to hear that you found the video both fun and informational! The explanation for the red vs back eyes is that at first, red beads were used as the eyes, but they did not show up well enough on black-and-white television (and though broadcast in color, most people did not have color TV sets).

[@KeepingtheMagicAlive]

@@jimfanningstulgeywoodtv4685 That's fascinating. Thanks!
