Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 29

Day 29 has another really wide flap - this had better not be another damn bag of slime. Godammit, it's another bag of slime. With a second Skeleton Gremlin. Official pictures make the combo look pretty cool, but it's a … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 28

Two days in a row with a brown Gremmy, but this one is wearing popcorn bags on his ears. That must be something from the movie, because NECA's Ultimate Gremlin could do the same thing. Even if that release suggests … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 27

Another plain brown Gremlin. Guess there's no shame in taking things a little easy at this late stage in the game. We do wish the Gremlins were taller - if the mogwais can be in a rough 6"-7" scale, it's … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 26

Okay, definitely wasn't expecting this: it's a second Stripe mogwai, last seen back on Day 3. Why's he back on Day 26, with a new sculpt, featuring different hair? At first it seems pointless, until you notice he's holding something … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 24

Clearly Jakks knew that some people would be using this like a normal December advent calendar, because today's toy is Santa Gizmo. Same mogwai body as usual, but this time the head is molded with a floppy red Santa hat … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 23

Dang, it took 13 days for Daffy to go from his mogwai form to a grown-up Gremlin? He really is the most unpredictable one around, isn't he! His bright green body gets dark spots by the elbows, matching the few … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 22

Another plain green Gremlin, with a big white smile and red eyes. This one has a few brown spots painted on the upper edges of the ears and on the back of the forearms. It makes him look just a … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 21

Oh-ho-ho-wow, something not even NECA has done! This is a Gremlin skeleton, from the scene where one ready-to-rampage Gremlin opts to take a souvenir photograph of his buddy, whose flesh is instantly fried away by the camera's flash. This mold … Continue reading

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 20

Adult Mohawk gets the darker green body, and still has a light yellow stomach. His ears are gigantic, sticking out way wider than his arms, and they're painted with little stripes along the lower edge. He's got his extra-pointy "beard" … Continue reading
