Globby database

Couldn't find a Globby database here, and thought it was worthwhile. Just listing full-sized for now, but would be happy to update it with pocket releases if anyone wants to provide release info [edit: pocket release info provided by animator & myself, thanks david]. List will (eventually) contain production releases as well as smaller custom runs (but not one-offs) as well as info on headers.

Picture of all globbys from bwana flickr.

 

The last THREE in the picture. And I've never heard of the Pumkin Tree Globby! >< I didn't think the Brown Nose was a regular release since it was more of a custom. Time to start searching again! (Anyone want to help complete my Globby family?)

 

nice globby collection shadowspectre!

list has been updated with some more photos and pocket info. for the pockets, i'm going to include small runs of hand paints like the pinkeye brown nose...i'll interpret "custom" as a more unique one-off.

 

Is the Thrash Out 4th Anniversary Globby and the Worker Globby the same thing?

they look quite the same

 

They ARE the same one. I think he confused it since it's a different shade because of the cameras used.

 

Sorry guys. I use a lot of light in my pics so it may have changed colors. =P

 

list corrected to resolve the worker / thrash out duplicity, thanks guys!

 

That's pretty much all of them. 6 Standard releases, 6 Mini releases, and 3 hand painted multi-produced minis.

 

added in some of the more recent pocket globby releases. run of 4 hand paints is still a release, right?

 

those birthday globby's are awfully pretty!

 

updated! hope to add to the list in 2 months (5th annual international globby day)

 

There's also a painted GID T9G Globby and a few unpainted ones floating around...

 

updated with the GID t9g in celebration of 5th annual international globby day. details here:

Thanks guys. I didn't even know this was on here. Globby fun tomorrow.

 

!!!

 

Woah !!

 

Haven't received the box yet... Prolly biggie glow blanks with maybe prize next Friday. So excited. First biggie release in years.

 

Missed that guy...! Glad to see him cutting loose again.

 

Since this is a Globby database don't forget this guy that was included in Gargamel lucky bags this year!

 

New Biggie Globby this Friday

Thought it was definitely worth sharing here (especially on this Globby release Friday)


Globby.

It’s been at least 3 years if not 4 or maybe more since we have seen a “Biggie” size Globby released into the wild.

Last week I received two boxes of magic on my doorstep.

This Friday, June 17th at 10am pacific, I will be releasing a batch of blank glow Globby here on Gravy Toys. Aaaand I may paint some too. I might not be able to help myself.

Since i was a little kid I have been designing characters that live in worlds big and small.

The Birth of Globby came during a group of characters I designed way back when Super 7 was a magazine. I was doing little articles about Micronauts, and we started talking about doing a toy together. Brian and Mark said to make a small stack of buddies and we will see what happens. From that stack came Globby, who wasn’t chosen for Super 7. They said. We like the vampire. Which turned out to be Steven the Bat. Who is by the way NOT a vampire. He’s a fruit bat. Back to Globby…

I took my first trip to Japan in I think 1997. And there i experience Takoyaki for the first time, and saw this image everywhere that I had seen before in a few wind up toys. An octopuss with a really long nose snoot. I became obsessed with this nose snoot idea, and soon after was drawing these things i called Quintopuss almost everyday in the late 90’s. It was an octopuss with 5 tentacled limbs, and a really long nose snoot. I’ll see if I can find a pic somewhere. Anywhoo. years later I’m working on these characters to make a toy with Super7. Which became Globby.



Globby’s mommy was an octopuss, and his papa was an ice cream cone. As with all ice cream, Globby’s papa met his fate when his mama licked him gone in the mating ritual.



Appendix/glossarium.

Why all this talk about Super 7 characters and Globby.

I was always drawing characters for toy companies to make. At the time when Super 7 was making Steven the bat. I was begging for S7 to have Kiyoka to sculpt Steven. Thru koji Harmon I had started exchanging mail with Gargamel, and fantasized about having Gargamel do a toy with me. so far it was not to be. And it was “too expensive” to have Kiyoka, of Gargamel to sculpt Steven the Bat. After meeting Gargamel in person they finally did agree to make a toy with me, but what. They passed on the super space sentai team I made up for them, although very different this eventually became the Sun of Brodarr. Gargamel passed on character after character. One day they showed ME, an image I had done, and said… we want to do this one. It was from a small group of drawing i had done for a Gallery 1988 show of my new friend Killer, who I had offered up to S7 or Gargamel. Go figure.

I think it goes like this. S7 makes the first Steven the Bat, then Gargamel makes Sleeping Killer, And then makes Globby, Super 7 makes new Monster Family Steven (Gargamel sculpt), and Gargamel makes Randall, and so on.



More on all this in my next bigger blogger post.

 

Thanks for posting this. It's always fun to know the stories from behind-the-scenes. Glad he took the time to share that.

With a mind for great whimsical characters that belong as sofvi toys, I can't think of any other maker at the time who would've done Bwana's ideas justice like S7 and Gargamel have. Even now, they go together like peaches and herb
