      I bought two of these ‘dolls’ for my nieces (who just recently watched the movie) and they both fell in love with them. Both were very clean and new as promised, no defects, no issues etc. I am very pleased with my purchase of the two Gizmo’s.

      These Gremlin replica’s (Spike, Poker Player and Gizmo) by NECA are pretty cool. They’re very well detailed although NECA also has released fellow Gremlins Brain (which you can get in both 7″ and 12″ exact same in every way other than their size versions) and Mohawk which NECA has put more detail into than these three. Incidentally you can buy all three of these Gremlins together like being sold on this page or individually in blister packs. Getting them all together was cheaper when released but not necessarily the case today. All 5 Gremlins are pretty hard to get now. If you get Spike, Poker Player and Gizmo together they should come in a box with a clear window at the top. This obviously also has the advantage that you can open the box without damaging the packaging, something you can’t do with the individual versions in the Blister packs. These are pretty cool and you’re unlikely to want to resell them but you never know, you may need money one day and being able to keep the original packaging in original condition is a factor worth thinking about.

      Gizmo is the smallest of the batch at only 10cm (less than 4″). He comes with 3D glasses (no arms on the glasses) and somebody before placing him in the box obviously got him wet, exposed him to sunlight or fed him after midnight because mine (and yours will no doubt) came with three little squishy balls coloured the same as Gizmo. They are sort of squishy and about the size of marbles. They slightly bounce sort of like those little bouncy balls you get out those coin glass display things although they don’t bounce as well as those. Gizmo’s head moves up and down and side to side, well it actually spins right around 360 degrees. The arms slightly move at the shoulders but that’s it. His legs are joined together and like the head rotate 360 degrees. He can stand on his own but the slightest bump to himself or the surface he is on or even wind will knock him over. Here’s the link to him separate in a blister pack if he was really all you wanted.

      Poker Player is exactly the same mould as Spike except the back of Spike’s head has been removed and white hair cotton is there instead. This hair makes Spike another 3cm (inch) taller than Poker Player. All the markings on both are exactly the same as is their eyes and facial expression. They are obviously the exact same mould just one they put the hair in. I found this to be really disappointing. If you can only get the blister pack versions you may even want to consider not getting both due to them being exactly the same. Spike and Poker Player have more areas in the arms that move than Gizmo, their hands rotate, elbow area moves, and an area just under the shoulder moves as well. This means you can pose them in a lot of different ways. Their legs don’t move a great deal and neither really stands upright without leaning against something no matter what positon you put the legs in. They will stand for brief moments of times if you keep trying but they don’t stand for long. For some reason these two also have shoulder football pads attached to their bodies. I don’t recall them having these in the movies.

      The paintwork on all three is really good, Gizmo looks like fur and the other two look reptilian. The eyes are well done with pupils and capillaries and everything. Even the ears have veins (although not as well done as NECA did with Brain).

      You also get 3 Poker cards glued together, a visor type hat, poker chips joined together with Oreos on the end, popcorn in a bag and a variety of chocolate and candy bars (one even half eaten). Most are just random words but with one, they put the effort in and called Freakies with a picture of a Gremlin on it which are candy coated monsters.

      The toy is called ‘Dancing” Gizmo, but it’s just really “Singing” Gizmo. The toy is loud so you won’t be leaving it on for long as it can get very annoying.

      As cute as Gizmo is, once he’s on, he’ll annoy everyone.

      Sofar my first Gizmo was booted across a room and stopped dancing, the second one was strung up to the roof by a pc’s mouse at work.

    Gremlins the Movie – Buy it on DVD 

    • Format: DVD MOVIE
    • Genre: HORROR
    • Rating: PG

    Description
    A man buys a Mogwai as a Christmas present for his son. The young boy is told to keep the pet away from water, out of the light and never to feed it after midnight. Inadvertently, the creature is dampened and almost instantly, produces half a dozen furry replicas of itself –which continue to multiply and turn the small town upside-down.

    Gremlins is a whee of a film (if you don’t mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don’t get him wet, don’t feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scaly guys with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it’s an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight–and the bad gremlins find ways to multiply over and over. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humor make this a wild (if occasionally dark and scary) ride. –Marshall Fine

      …You watch it and find yourself sucked into an otherwise story by numbers movie (hey, the old guy says “no sunlight, water or food after midnight” so you’re warned what to expect already). Main criticism of course is its lack of focus on the hilarious antics of the evil Gremlins (something the sequel did a little better) who destroy a good portion of a town, but aren’t seen nearly enough to make you detest them – instead they’re little more than pests. The level of gore is surprising, which is how you can tell that this isn’t technically a “kids” movie, so care should be taken with young children (but saying that I’d have been 7 when I saw this and had no problem….but then Nightmare on Elm Street might have desensitised me a bit by that time) but it’s essential viewing if only so that you can watch the sequel too.

      Footnote: Official Actual Review: **** 1/4 stars (four and a quarter star rating)

      In the summer of 1984 as Ivan Reitman’s ceaselessly beloved supernatural box-office comedic powerhouse Ghostbusters was prevailingly netting all the profuse blockbuster revenues and inestimably enshrining itself adamantly with adoring audiences across all divides as the year’s principally paramount money rainmaker of the year, a minor monster film B-Movie tribute to Capracorn and 1950’s space paranoia exploitation flicks came into circulation at around the same time. Internationally released to movie theaters around the globe, Gremlins was an unappeasably premeditative liberating commandeering of the world’s silver screens in one fell swoop of cinematic amnesty from the norm. Unhesitatingly conspiring and invigoratingly procuring to unhesitatingly unleash a mischievous torrent of cantankerously inconsolable scaly adversarial devils wantonly assailing restrained movie tastes with the provocatively stimulating rousing sensationalism of maliciously volatile foresight. Joe Dante’s phenomenally lucrative massively unfashionable bold creative re-imaging of the exploitation genre sensationally ran amok with the general public as it universally grossed resoundingly beyond anyone’s comprehension and beguilingly entranced millions more into an atypical personal connection with the film.

      Dexterously consolidating into a whole new age of pop cultural advertising packaging integrating (beginning with Star Wars and exploding with E.T.), Gremlins was principally choked with indefinite unattributable mountains of merchandise. The Gizmo doll, Gremlin action figures, Gremlin lunch boxes, Gremlin posters, Gremlin story-time audio cassettes (do you remember those?) and all sorts of other cherished child and adult paraphernalia that became incredibly dispensed at an glaringly astronomical pace. Yet at the heart of this significant immeasurable love affair with the Gremlins and it’s essential myth, lies ultimately the film itself. After nearly twenty years and untold droves of imbecilic rehashes, moronic re-shoots, and Kindergarten retreads, the film remains an indisputable pop culture cinematic touchstone classic of the 1980’s. Directed by cinematic maverick satirist Joe Dante (Gremlins 2: The New Batch, The Howling, Looney Tunes: Back In Action) and executive produced by the omnipresent commercial dynamo of the 1980’s Steven Spielberg, Gremlins is the uncanniest ironclad combination of subversive divine parody (Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life) and thrillingly riveting acute joyride (Howard Hawk’s The Thing from Another World)
      we’ve yet seen in the last generation of motion pictures.

      Name me another picture that can so instantaneously, ambidextrously, and completely shift gears from brutal savagery to out-and-out comedic lunacy (just think of the Christmas Cookies/Blender Sequence) with the stunningly ghoulish extraordinary clout that Gremlins accomplishes without ever batting a reptilian eye. You may attribute this attractive charisma entirely to the Gremlins. However it’s also Dante’s steadfast no compromise craftsmanship that delivers the delicate balance of menace and perversity that remains so universally adored about this film to this very day by so many legions of fans and new viewers alike.

      Overflowing with the quintessential Looney Tunes spirit of jovial irrelevance pulsating throughout its daffy festivities, the Gremlins bar sequence remains one of the single most mentally arresting moments of Eighties cinema. With it’s gleeful lunatic goofiness taken to the very optimal zenith of cantankerous hilarity, this definitive burlesque showcase of pricelessly gut-busting spectacle lampoons the shear shallow splendor of binge drinking, chain-smoking, gluttony, high-stakes poker, Dashiell Hammett film noirs (The Big Sleep), misogynistic anarchy, the television show Cheers, urban crime, and Jennifer Beals’s cheesy Flashdance renown to the absolute euphoric dizzyingly heights of galvanizing comedic possibilities.

      Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) and Kate Beringer (Phoebe Cates) chaotically desperate escape from the old-town movie house is an especially exceptional affectionately subversive amicable nod to Disney’s masterwork Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938). This singularly breathtaking climatic chase sequence remains a transcendental majestic tribute to the film medium’s boundless past that remains supernaturally priceless beyond the mere mention of words, and blows continuing proof of Dante’s ecstatically voracious exhilaration in ransacking the respectable into indelible comical genius. The exemplary majesty of Gremlins remains in it’s devilish application of absurdity so effortlessly that it leaves many viewers blushing way beyond the restriction of age. Gremlins has carved its own permanent niche in American Pop Culture and it’s definitely not likely to be carted away by any philosophical Asian mystic anytime soon.

      As for the new Gremlins Special Edition DVD, it includes a 2001 remastering of the entire film with the inclusion of numerous extras including: a commendably impressive 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation, a properly atmospheric Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track, an impressive Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround audio track, a charmingly nostalgic director and star commentary track featuring Joe Dante, Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Howie Mandel, and (Dante regular and greatly under-appreciated) Dick Miller, an intriguing director and special effects department commentary featuring Joe Dante, Michael Finnell (producer) and Chris Walas (Effects Supervisor), ten minutes of behind-the-scenes footages, theatrical trailer, and several other fascinating trappings to siphon through at your leisure.

      P.S. Break-dancing Gremlins now that will be the day. Oh wait we do have hundreds of Agent Smiths, a skeletal Geoffrey Rush, a half-cranium mechanistic Schwarzenegger (was that a change?), and liquid medal invulnerable supermodels clamorously roaming around by now so who knows.

      I would not recommend this movie. It was violent, and scary. When my mom and I watched this a few years ago, my mom had to turn it off halfway to the middle. If it hadn’t been made before PG-13 was invented, that’s what this movie would have been rated.

      A lot of kids would say this movie isn’t scary, but that’s because so many kids today are allowed to see rated R, which is as bad as it gets.

      Don’t get this movie unless you like to be disturbed!

      P.S. Please don’t insult my review in your own, thank you!

      What was Steven Spielberg thinking when he made Gremlins? What a lame movie. Bad special effects turns what looks like a stuffed rag doll into obviously fake puppet-like gremlin

      Ooooooooo! Scary!

      A silly plot and bad acting round out the score. If you’re seven years old or under, this movie’s probably a hoot. If not, then stay away.

    Which movie where a gremlin tries to kill someone sleeping but is shredded by a fan? 


    It is a tiny thing, possibly a gremlin, with a small sword. I watched this movie years ago but have forgotten the title along with the actual plot. I think there was also a black and white cat that pushed it? into the fan that was moving which shredded the monster to pieces. The monster was plugging the nose of the sleeping person to make his/her mouth open.

      That was Stephen King’s Cats Eye. The Gnome had a little knife he used to kill a bird to get the cat thrown out of the house so he could suck the life out of little Drew Barrymore. But, much to the gnome’s chagrin, the cat arrived and saved the day by sending him and his bundle of balloons into that fan. The film was actually a collection of three King short stories, including the chilling Quitters, Inc. and The Ledge.

    I want to be something scary for halloween. It worked last year and I turned myself into a football player. I’ve have tried countless times with different spells to turn myself into a gremlin but none seem to work. I have tried “Triquondilicinosis” and that doesn’t do anything useful for me. Any thoughts?

    We all know that you can’t feed a Mogwai after midnight or it will turn into a Gremlin, but what time can you start feeding it again because I have this little rascal sitting here and he’s hungry.
