Product Description
Joe Dante’s 1984 film, Gremlins, introduced audiences to the cute Mogwai and the creatures they become when they get wet, are exposed to bright light, and are fed after midnight – the destructive Gremlins! Three of the creatures from the film – Stripe, with his movie cady and buzz saw accessories; Poker Playing Gremlin, with cards and chips; and Gizmo, the original Mogwai with his 3-D glasses and furball – can be yours. Just remember the rules for owning a Mogwai!

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.
