Neca Gremlin Figures.

[Lord_Zed]

Very nice.

I only have one Gremlin figure, the smart one from Gremlins Two, but My cousin collects Gremlin figures (thanks largely to me and other friends feeding his collections at Xmas and birthdays), so I'll have to keep an eye on these.

Love em, want em! I loved these movies growing up. They are the pure embodiment of chaos.
Even though the second one had more comedy I love the other forms they took on after crashing the genetics lab. Bat Gremlin was the coolest but who could forget the Spider?

Me too. Oddly enough after re-watching the movies at an older age I prefer Gremlins two, while the comedy is quite corny, the film is really a satire of both Gremlins one and the Hollywood sequel in general. Everything is bigger and better, and its clear the director was aware of how ludicrous most sequels of the era were. I particularly love the parts where leonard Maltin starts reading his real life review of Gremlins, only to be shanghaied by the monsters, and the part where the control room officer is asking Billy questions about timezones and exposing the obvious plot holes about eating after midnight.

Anyway there both classics in there own right, I hope Hollywood never remakes them.

Hursticon: It was Stripe in the first one and I think Spike in the second. Watching the first one now, Girlfriend keeps asking me if this is meant to be a kids show.

Can't wait to get to the second one. I'll offer my thoughts when it's fresh in my mind.

I warned you not to feed him after midnight!


I don't remember much of these movies (obviously because they were before my time haha), but I do remember the second(??) one where they're in a shopping centre and there is a spider-gremlin?

I just remember that one because gizmo wears a bandanna and shoots a flaming arrow at it :P

I thought it was stripe!
I do love the first movie for it's dark tone and I kinda of wonder what could've been if Spielberg had never touched it - Apparently in the original script, it called for Billy's Mum to have her head ripped off and thrown down the stairs as he enters the house! - Man that'd of been awesome!

I do believe the second head honcho of the bad guys is Mohawk because that is what it said on the packaging of that figure I posted before, I believe it was to pay homage to the original leader - Just meaner.

LOL, that's cool man - at least you know of them because a lot of people your age around where I live would be like: "Gremo-what?"
You're definitely thinking of the second movie dude and yeah, when Gizmo dons the Bandanna, ala Rambo , it is probably the closest he comes to being the character he was supposed to be - The bad guy!

I'm going to acquire these movies legally *shifty eyes*
anddddd then watch them now :P

I always wanted to but nobody else would watch them because of their supposed 'scaryness', but to me it was always just a little furby who couldn't be fed after midnight.
I'm having a weird memory now of big green blobs of goo everywhere. Did the gremlins explode when they were killed?

One thing dude - Don't call them Furbys. ... (Kidding, Gremlins predates those horrid things by a good decade ).
Well, for me I'd never call them scary, especially not the second movie, but the 1st has it's dark tones as it was originally envisioned to be a Horror film and not a Dark Comedy.

I'm not going to tell you anything more until you've watched both of them! - Seriously man, you've got to watch them but just bare in mind that they were made in the late 80s early 90s and hence have a certain approach to things, you'll see what I mean.

Now go and watch them!

I know that they came before Furbys, but seeing as I grew up with them. It is really the only parallel I can draw between something of my childhood :P
The coincidental thing is (NOT IRONY DAMMIT!) is that Furbys would constantly scream that they were hungry, even at night!

I will watch them! Don't you worry about that!
I still remember other parts of the movie, but they're just little bits and pieces. The flaming arrow in the spider is what I remember most vividly haha! That, and the guy who gives him Gizmo at the start.

They look great!

[Doubledealer]

Man do these look great, awesome find Hursty! the Gremlins movies are pure gold. I remember watching the first one for the first time at a mates place when I was knee high to a minicon, his mum gave us both a whole family sized Cadbury Snack chocolate bar each...I thought that was the best night ever at the time, haha.
