Title: Gumby Blockhead Keycaps
Post by: TBone on Thu, 24 July 2014, 20:18:54

I was just thinking it would be the coolest thing ever if someone made some G and J Blockhead keys (from Gumby). I was a huge Gumby fan growing up (even though I was a little late, born in 94), and always love watching the movie still...even though it's a little strange, but that's what makes Gumby so awesome. Just wondering if anyone thinks it's possible (not sure what could be done with artisan caps).

I was thinking even just the colors in the font in a Cherry profile would be cool for any key cap layout, or the full heads with faces on the F row would be even cooler, with their faces like this or something

Good idea, seriously, but wasn't Gumby green? and had an orange/red horse?

I've never seen these two characters in your picture but they are cool looking, also really look like Gumby. I tought he had some kind of triangular flat head tough in my souvenirs?? :?

The block heads were the protagonists in Gumby, always doing things to mess with Gumby, the green guy!

That would be awesome.  I grew up on Gumby.  There should also be some Prickle keycaps in yellow.
