Oh I'd buy this.

I'd buy two so I could Gumby wrestle someone.

My friend was Gumby for Halloween in high school! One of the funniest things I have ever seen was my friend in her Gumby costume running as fast as humanly possible up a dirt driveway after someone (who we saw minutes before as we were walking toward the house) jumped out of the bushes.

Haha!

my boyfriend wanted this so bad this Halloween. I feel kinda bad for not letting him get it now:( He wanted me to be pokey haha

That would have been awesome! Well, now you know what to be next year!

LOL!

Did you ever see those fish on the nature channel that hide their little offspring baby fish in their mouth? Or those dogs or those bees or those dogs that shoot bees out of their mouths? I vote this is far more terrifying than any combination of those animals... though the little kitten in the pic is pretty darned cute.

@hrothgars - lol wat? But, yeah, I really like the expression on the big tube cat's face.
