Hmm, I wonder how many folks here remember Gumby and Pokey?

Nice set.

Well, first off, the Gumbians natural enemies would have to be the blockheads. Unfortunately, they would resemble the Borg too much, and you would be sued by the Star Trek people, or atrocities.
Next, their ships would have to be made from toy materials, that look cool, but certainly have a hard time standing up to bLaster fire.
For their battle cry, you could use Eddie Murphy from Saturday Night Live shouting "I'm Gumby, damnit!", but I think that would get old pretty darn quick.

Best if the whole thing were avoided.

Stop-motion animated clay characters from the '50s and '60's:

Gumby came in at #16 on _TV Guide_'s recent list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters.

They were also made into cute but very dangerous toys. Made from some sort of rubber with wires in side so they would hold the shape they were bent to.
