Notes: Gumby, quite possibly the most famous icon made of clay, was created by Art Clokey. From 1956 to 1988, Gumby starred in 214 total episodes of The Gumby Show and The All-New Gumby. Comedian and Saturday Night Live alum, Eddie Murphy, even portrayed Gumby in earlier episodes of SNL. Gumby's distinctive look was inspired by the gingerbread man and the hairdo of Art Clokey's dad.

Comments: Many people wondered exactly why this Gumby wobbler had him wearing a hula skirt, but had to put the spring somewhere, otherwise there'd be no Gumby Wacky Wobbler. The spring is concealed underneath the hula skirt, so only by looking closely, will a person actually see where he wobbles.
