Mr Blobby Costume

Product Information

This is exciting news – confirmation of an unaccounted-for Danish Mr Blobby. “I wouldn’t get too excited: it was probably thrown away like that picture of Mr Blobby in a skip when the BBC sold Television Centre in 2013.” Mr Blobby in a skip ups the count to seven. No one on the tube seems to understand the motto: “If you see something unusual, report it to staff …” But, after squishing through the barriers at Piccadilly Circus, I’m a bona fide celebrity. Buses toot, tourists pose, small children look terrified and motorists yell: “Blobby!” out of their windows. His demand has waxed and waned alongside Edmonds’ fame (today’s Guardian booking is only his second since Covid). “There’s more mileage in Alan Sugar, but there’s more Sugars about,” he says. “People assumed it was me in the Blobby costume at first,” but Gold wasn’t involved in House Party. He doubts any of the Blobbys he has met (usually at corporate events) have been official. And, unlike the actual Edmonds, he can’t fly a helicopter. “I’ve been in one twice and I thought I was going to fall out.” Relive your childhood and become Mr Blobby in this full costume! With authentic yellow Polka-Dots and signature Bow Tie, you really will look the part. Grab everyone’s attention as you enter the room in your unmissable outfit. Mr Blobby may be the stuff of Nightmares to some people but its sure to make a lasting impression! The most helpful person to verify our Blobby tally would be Edmonds. Is he available to comment from New Zealand?

At least there’s some good news. When Blobby appeared in panto in Peter Pan in Milton Keynes in 2021 (played by a variety of actors, but not Killerby), Unique made two new costumes, which Pascoe confirms they still own, along with a “battered, old” original Blobby. I can appreciate why Mr Blobby doesn’t do more than wave his arms about: there’s not much more you can do. At least it’s not too hot: my inflatable version (with an inbuilt fan) is more like walking around in my own personal tent. Maybe I’ll take it to Glastonbury. I rang a trusted agent, who said: ‘I can only think of one person’ – Barry Killerby, a classically trained Shakespearean actor,” says Leggo. “He brought such fantastic physical comedy to what was essentially a big pink rubber blob.” I’m beginning to wish I had an actual, rigid Blobby outfit. There’s something disconcerting about how mine keeps deflating of its own accord right at the moment when the Guardian photographer Linda is trying to get the money shot. “I’m sure this happens to all the Blobbys,” she says. Pascoe says he’s not surprised Edmonds has retired to New Zealand “after everything he’s been through”, referring to Unique Television falling victim to huge bank fraud in 2017. “Obviously, that impacted our relationship, although I did hear from him the other night.” Has Blobby been to visit Edmonds in New Zealand?” “You realise Mr Blobby is like Father Christmas or the tooth fairy, and not real?” Whatever is he talking about?But how am I supposed to go to the loo? Linda has to help me in and out of my outfit, like I’m a five-year-old. And I thought failing to keep inflated was embarrassing.
