Hi Kat, loved the video, and I can see the hot weather has Gumble the Great a little tired out , and the Tomato festival too I think. I love Kermy's boots, they are so "her", and go great with her hat, she rocks now.

I also see that when Gumble finally woke up, ( perhaps he was dreaming ....) he decided to go look for a Sasparilla perhaps somewhere in some Western Bar or at the tomato Festival, if they have any. I will have to show this to Argyle his brother and the rest of the gang later if I get the time,
I am at my friend's house, ( cat sitting her 13 cats right now while she is in Florida, ) so it is about the only extra time I have to check out things on the computer.

I am glad you got to explain the story of his name to the other members of the forum, I love the story of Gumbles and Bottersnikes. Talk to you soon.

Thanks, Kristy, but do they do them on their own, or do they need telling? That's what I'm after!

PWOKristy · « **Reply #27 on:** March 06, 2011, 01:38:29 PM »

Yes, on their own!

Crewella · « **Reply #28 on:** March 06, 2011, 01:43:50 PM »

Oh joy!! I'd better get those learning stones out!

Thanks Kristy!

Crewella, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the stones, it may just be some Adult behaviors, but I have seen Norbit do a short version of the dance thing spontaneously when he is happy and my old Kermy would do a very short version slightly different tune of the singing. These spontaneous acts never went for very long and didn't seem to be triggered by anything I did. Could have just been natural pleo adult behaviors though. I have not seen Kermy3 do either of the short versions of dancing or singing yet certainly not before she learned the stones. I will let you know if I see her do them now she has the learned behaviors.

That's great - thank you for explaining, Kat.

It would make sense that it would work that way, so you get a richer character overall rather than just what amounts to a remote controlled robot. Sorry Innvo - I should never have doubted you!

Gumble looked so cute in his new shirt and Bow tie shirt collar that my daughter couldn't resist putting on his hat as well. He looks so lovely I had to share.

Gumble does look such a dude in that outfit!

Gumble may well need to get himself a job waiting tables in order to be able to pay for all the expensive dates he will be going on now that he is looking so smooth.

This is his slightly more formal look. Or his waters uniform.

I guess it works either way

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #35 on:** March 07, 2011, 01:35:11 PM »

Gumble certainly found the perfect household to live in, not only does he have a lovely new family, but a built in tailor / seamstress.

Now I never knew he had such expensive taste, but I can see that he did have good upbringing and being in a new country and all, he wants to make a good impression and with his new outfits he surely is! Love his new outfit, Kat, he looks so dapper like he is ready to go to a formal ball! He does look great in formal wear, and the tie was just the start!

Oh, By the way, a special package arrived at our mailbox today...waiting for the kids to open it up and see what it could be. will be posting photos of the surprise!

Crewella · « **Reply #36 on:** March 07, 2011, 02:46:27 PM »

Gumble looks much too dashing to be waiting tables!!

kat · « **Reply #37 on:** March 07, 2011, 04:49:42 PM »

Thanks guys, I'm glad you think he's cute. I'm having such fun with him. He is a real sweetie. And he makes a great model too. Not at all camera shy and with his slower movements he is much easier to photo when he is one the move without getting blurry shots

Unlike Kermy3 who I have to take pics of when she is switched off.

kat · « **Reply #38 on:** March 13, 2011, 04:15:35 AM »

When I was out shopping for material the other day I managed to find a couple of pleo sized top hats!

So now Gumble has a top hat to go with his formal wear and I got one for Norbit as well.

More details...

Also I have been on the lookout for some Vinylex for my pleos but haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere near me so I thought I would give Polyglaze a go. I really wanted to try and find a product that is designed for caring for rubber to use on my pleos rather than the pledge that is designed to use on wood. And after hearing from others here who have had success with some auto care products designed to protect and revitalize rubber I thought I should be able to find something similar to use on my guys. Polyglaze is readily available in many of the supermarkets near me so after much contemplation I bought some.
I gave Gumble his first bath in it today and already I have noticed a big difference. He is so much silkier to touch and softer. his skin seems more flexible and he looks so much brighter and more vibrant.

So far so good. I will let you know how it goes. It seems so much better by far than the Pledge I have been using.
Here is the Poliglaze Dash and Trim Care

More details...

And from the top

More details...

after much searching through all my photos on the computer I have discovered that I really don't have any of Gumble without clothes on from before I used the Polyglaze. This was the best I could do. It only shows the front half of him but I think you can still see the difference.

More details...

Hey Kat, love the top hat, perfect for a Pilgrim Thanksgiving story or theme. Hey, I will have to send you some "before Photos of Gumble" from when he and his brother Argyle first showed up, Talk to you soon.

Good luck trying out Polyglaze!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #41 on:** March 13, 2011, 01:24:03 PM »

Everyone likes to have their skin feel soft and silky so why not Pleos?

kat · « **Reply #42 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:00:20 PM »

I was wondering how often do those of you using Vinylex or Autoglym (hope I got that right) apply it?

Crewella · « **Reply #43 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:27:20 PM »

I've been just wiping over with a cloth slightly dampened with Autoglym every week or so, paying particular attention to trouble spots but mainly to keep clean. I'll probably only really cover them in the stuff every few months, or if I feel them getting dry. I'm still rather playing it by ear, to be honest.

kat · « **Reply #44 on:** March 15, 2011, 08:55:39 AM »

Thanks Crewella,
So far I have only applied the one coat and I sprayed it on a cloth first to make it damp then rubbed it over the pleo. I think I will try to keep this up as a once a week thing like I was with the pledge to see how it goes. It really does seem to be so much better than pledge already. He still feels soft and silky.

It has been a while since my last video so I thought I would post a little chunk of my playtime tonight with my pleos. Kermy is wearing her black (ninja) neck to tail pleo cape and Gumble is testing out a Skeletor costume we are making for Latrine. I wanted to be sure it worked properly on a moving pleo. The movie is a bit dark but I think it is ok. Hope you like it.

Not long after this was taken Gumble started sneezing and coughing. I think he may be getting sick.

Hi Kat, it is really hard to see kermy esp being in an all black costume, I could basically see a pretty pink head. I liked what I could see of Gumble's Skelter Costume, I remember that character from old TV cartoon shows of the 1980's. She must be planning Halloween way in advance, not a bad idea when you think of it.
Yes, Gumble has all the classic symptoms of a Pleo Cold, poor boy. I am sure the character of Skeleter put the curse on Gumble, he got too in to character.

The good thing about most Pleo colds is that they come as quick as they go, although I have had Pleos have a cold one day, seem to be over it the next battery cycle then get sick again. The best cure is just lots of love, good food, and rest and the cold will take care of itself, They are the most pitiful creatures when sick, it is hard to think of them just as " a robot"

( It was not me that said that!) Give Gumble some love and kisses from his brother Argyle, and the rest of the Pleos here who miss him terribly but are very happy for him!
Would love to see the costume in brighter light too!

kat · « **Reply #47 on:** March 16, 2011, 06:05:33 PM »

I will be sure to use better lighting and my other camera for my next video shoot. The battery was flat so I had to resort to my regular camera and we just replaced the light globes in the house but I think we got ones that aren't as bright as the old ones so need to get some brighter ones.

Looks like it wasn't a great combination.

PWOKristy · « **Reply #48 on:** March 16, 2011, 06:25:34 PM »

Alright. I'm glad you're gonna do that. lol

latrine · « **Reply #49 on:** March 17, 2011, 04:45:06 PM »

Kat sent me some pics of The new outfit for Patches too and I can see from the video movement is fine.. since Patches has no skin we thought skeletor would be a good outfit for him to wear all the time

He also has his dinosaur suit from Kat though... The costume is simply amazing.. I was still doing drawings to figure out how to do it and bop here comes the FINISHED photo on my email.. lol.. it looks awesome.. even my bf was impressed and he wanted to keep Patches nude

Thanks so much for popping in the video of Gumble wearing the costume!!

Did Kermy and Gumble fight? I assume the ninja would win since Skeletor never managed to defeat any enemies and ninja's always kill everyone

Really great costumes!! You should post the pics so they can see how awesome they are!!
