Plex is one of the main characters in Yo Gabba Gabba!.

Basic Information

Plex is the fifth and final member of the Gabba friends where he's "A magic robot!". He also has a niece named Plexee. He has no realm in particular, though he seems to have a "docking station" between Foofa Land and Brobee Land. Plex is also the final of DJ Lance's original creations after he goes through the other main characters like Muno, Foofa, Brobee, and Toodee. He is voiced by Christian Jacobs, co-creator of Yo Gabba Gabba!.

Plex is the oldest, which he is portrayed as being intelligent, clear-spoken, well-educated with a clear attitude and the main leader of Gabba Land that often teaches lessons to his friends. Like an older brother, he knows how to solve problems that arise. When trouble arises with his friends, he is always there to teach them a lesson and be nice. This robot is also filled with many wonders and magical powers, being able to play music from his speakers. Plex is no stranger to learning how to drive a car, using his special ray to bring things into existence, transporting living things, and stretching his arm super long to grab things from afar. Plex can even skateboard too. He's the band's keytarist, which fits him well with the keytar (a guitar and a piano mix). His hobbies are driving his car, beaming things, playing his keytar and stretching his arms.

Appearance

Plex is bright yellow, with a cylindrical torso, and yellow, somewhat blocky, hands and feet. He has a cylindrical, flat head with a large red antenna on the top, (which in fact was supposed to be blue during the pilot episode), and additional antennas on both sides of his head. His arms and legs are a shiny silver metal, which is flexible, unlike the rest of his body. His chest has a built-in speaker, and below that is a compartment which he uses in the show as a storage for various items, though it sometimes opens to reveal his inner workings as well and used for eating which is shown in the Party In My Tummy game app.

Plex appears in every episodes except Dinosaur.

Costume

The performer wears arm gloves with attached hands, leggings, and shoes that the leggings can be tucked into his feet. All in which fits underneath the body on the upper half. The body is lowered over the performer's head allowing for the arms to stick out at the front. The head is positioned to the front edge of the body instead of in the middle to allow it to fit over the performer easier. Also, the top of his head has a vent inside to give the performer breathing space.

The Plex costume has gone through 5 changes throughout.
