04 Gizmo

Gremlins


 Gremlins is a 1984 American horror comedy film. A man buys a pet Mogwai for his teenage son. The strange creature is named Gizmo and has three rules to its care;

Never expose it to bright light,
Never get it wet;  
Never, ever feed it after midnight. 



 Gizmo is the star of both gremlins and the sequel Gremlins 2. He is a furry little biped from china.


 Gizmo is number 4 in the Movies line of Funko pop vinyl figures, he is the first Gremlins figure. The box art is reminiscent of the wooden box that Gizmo lived in at the antique shop.


 The Mogwai has its head turned in the window box which is unusual.





Short of making him plush (there may be a flocked exclusive) i don't see how Gizmo could be any closer to his movie counterpart.



Gizmos ears are large and wide. In the movie they are very articulate but on the figure the only articulation is at the neck.



 His hands and feet are beyond adorable.



 For some size comparison we have Leonidas on the left and Bicycle Girl from The Walking Dead on the right.


Inside every cute Mogwai waits a vicious Gremlin.

 

The other Gremlins Movie figure is called Gremlins, though it is clearly Stripe.

 

 

 Limited/Exclusives:

There is a flocked exclusive to 2011 San Diego Comic Con that is limited to 480 fuzzy pieces.
