Neca Gremlin Figures.

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

Too Cool

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.

[LordCyrusOmega]

I had a Furby and it looked a bit like a Mogwai. But that was after I did some cosmetic work on it with a screwdriver and scissors. Damn thing would not be quiet. And it screamed.

[Omega Supreme]

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.
