GUMBY TOYS! SEE THEM WALK! SEE THOSE, UH, WIRES.

He was once a little greey slab of Clay. SO was Pokey, They were rubber toys. And with SPRING Fever. Let's just SPRING ahead and say that when I had some, I kept seeing them getting all WIRED---and when they'd stand, Gumby and Pokey toys, from good old Lakeside--which practically was mutually inseperable from the Gumby toys--were real WIRED-o's.

Yep. Wires coming out of toys. beinding..and those little holes looking like ventilation...causing Gumby and Pokey to have, uh, mettical burstals. Not heavy metal. Just light. Just like this post..
