New Japanese Gremlins Toys Coming From Kotobukiya!

September 30, 2006

It seems that there will be a small set of PVC figures releasing in October or November from Kotobukiya toy company, they will range from 5cm to 9cm (about 2.5 to 4 inches) tall each.

If you are interested, this is one of the ebay stores selling them as a pre-order.

Forbidden Planet International also has them listed for a bit cheaper than some of the Ebay auctions.

Video Games & Video Vault Added!

September 30, 2006

A very busy day I have had, it seems.
Gremlins Online is now two sections larger, with the Video Games and Video Vault sections.
Both are in the early stages of development, and will grow with the site, but the outline is there and the information is as well. All that is missing is the painstaking detail that will be added in over time.

Another cover
Gremlins for PS2? Looks like a trip to the Video Game Section is in order!

Check out the Video Vault for some awesome clips that took trudging through truly banal videos with the Gremlins tag attached to find the gems in the rough!!
I plan on organizing that section later, but for now enjoy.
Hopefully by morning, http://www.gremlinsonline.com will be operational. Sooooo…….keep checking back!


Gremlinsonline.com & New Logo!

September 29, 2006

Thanks to Microsoft Office Live, Gremlins Online will now have a domain name!
That’s right kids! You will soon be able to access Gremlins Online from http://gremlinsonline.com !!
Gremlinsonline.com will mainly be a splash page that links to this and possibly other gremlin-riffic sites across the world wide “intrawebs”. You will still be able to access this site through http://gremlins.wordpress.com but it will be easier to give people the dot-com address when telling your friends about this awesome site!

I will post another update when the domain name is up and running.

That being said and done, we also have a brand new logo that you can see a snippet of at the top of the blog, and the full sized one will be on the gremlinsonline.com page! The art once again is the fantastic gremlin and gizmo by my good friend, the amazing Vinzend ! (his site is currently under construction so expect a crazy awesome site from him in the near future!)

The next projects I have on my Gremlins Online To-Do lists are some fan art / fanfic pages and updating the “about” section, followed by some fun surprises as the year winds down!


A Tidbit Of Gremlins 3 Info?

September 27, 2006

http://latinoreview.com/news.php?id=868

The folks over at latinoreview.com interviewed Joe Dante last month for his Masters of Horror project, who said a very interesting something about Gremlins 3 and if it will ever happen….

 (Excerpt)

LR: I’ve heard rumors of a “Gremlins 3”. Any truth?

JD: “Gremlins 3”! Well, I’m sure there will be one. I know I won’t have anything to do with it. They won’t ask me. But the goal with “Gremlins 2” was to make sure there wouldn’t be a “Gremlins 3”. If there is a “Gremlins 3” they’re welcome to it. I think what’s holding it up is that they can’t conceive of what to do because the first movies were defined by the technology, it was what the puppets could do and do well and not do and that’s what the movies became. Now you could do anything with CGI so the field is so open that nobody could focus on what exactly it should be. I can’t say I’m looking forward to seeing it.

So nothing really new that we didn’t know already, Joe probably won’t have anything to do with it, and he really dislikes the idea of CGI Gremlins running around.

Ah well, the interview is a very good read, and there is another mention or two of gremlins that you will have to check out for yourself…

 Overall, it has been slow in gremlins related info, but the Gremlins 3 rumor mill seems to be starting up yet again as it does every so many years…who knows? maybe this time we will get some more Gremliny fun!
