Oh the dangers of being replicated in a novelty toy factory in China! Of course they got the colors “wrong”, they never heard of Gumby or his pony pal Pokey. Were U.S. kids upset when they got the “wrong color” Gumby and Pokey out of the Gumball Machine at the supermarket? Would an orange Gumby have been as successful as the green Gumby? Is this a question of race or just a question of clay? Was Gumby actually a successful property? Sometimes I feel like people only really like the Eddie Murphy version of Gumby from Saturday Night Live, where he played it like Gumby was an old washed up Jewish vaudeville type. I like it when Gumby would just flatten out and hide from people.
Whats a Gumby?
