Browsing eBay today, I came across an auction for a 2′ Mohawk statue where all of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society as part of the Relay For Life event.
Normally, I try and avoid posting news about eBay auctions, but I am a sucker for charity and goodwill acts so I will have to ignore my policy today….
This is one of the better painted statues, and looks phenominal. This is a great opportunity for a good cause, so check out the link and bid. (you can also click on the picture to get to the auction.) The auction is running until January 27th, but if you miss it, you can also simply donate at http://www.acsevents.org/relay/mi/westland/patriciasgardenangels.
As 2006 winded down, I thought the same as many, that 2007 would be slow on news and new Gremins Merchandise
So far, I am proud to state that I was incredibly wrong.
Left to right: Black and white Stripe, Gangster Gremlin, and Regular/Normal Gremlin. These are the three newest additions to the increasingly breathtaking Japanese-only gremlins ranks.
On Friday, I mentioned one of our readers, Andrew informed me of these figures, but I had not seen the Regular Gremlin toy, so he sent me some fantastic photos of it, along with the B&W Stripe and the previous versions of Stripe that were released by Jun Planning.
Doing my usual rounds of the popular video sharing sites out there, I came across another new Fan-made video that reminds us how influential everything gremlins-related has been on our artists.
cybernick666 from France shows off his skills by playing the memorable music from the first stage of Gremlins 2: The New Batch for NES. I have sent him a message, asking if he has, or will be doing any music in the future from Gremlins, so hopefully we will hear more great work from him.
This is something I wish I could do myself, play the keyboard. Well, any instrument really…but I know that the Gremlins Rag would be one of the first songs I would be butchering with my amateur abilities.

This is what many many of us have been looking for, actual footage of the legendary Great Gremlins Adventure (AKA Gremlins Invasion)
It has terrible sound, is grainy and the colors are off…oh and it is in german. If anyone can translate what Alf is saying…please send it in right away!
Now I wish i could get to Warner Bros Movieworld and ride the ride itself!
The plot seems to be where you go on a tour of Warner Brothers studios, guided by….ALF, and the gremlins take over, so you are trying to escape while gizmo and ALF try to stop the gremlins. Not the world’s greatest plot, but heck, most people thought this ride was a myth, but now there is even more proof that this cheesily fantastic ride exists.
Alf in german frightens me though…I am not sure why.
That is pretty awesome, today #93…tommorow, who knows, Gremlins Online could be…….#92!
Also, a note in response to a few emails and noticing the search terms that have brought some people here, you will not find the full movie of Gremlins or Gremlins 2: the new batch here. Nor will you find links to streaming versions of them, which apparently exist.
Look, the movies can be found in almost any format, for less than 15$….cheaper if you buy them used, or buy them together!
Just go out, buy them, or rent them from your local video store.
If you are a fan of Gremlins, I really feel it is best that you support the filmmakers and show them that there is a market for Gremlins 3, and that will not happen if everyone just downloads the movies. Vote with your wallets folks!
I just want to make sure that we are doing our part to encourage the studios to continue with our favorite film franchise, and they will only do that if they see that we will spend good money on a feature film!
Another year has come and another has gone, and it is amazing to think that it will soon have been 23 years ago that Gremlins first graced the silver screen…how time flies.
One of our readers, Vince (aka SteVin89) got into the holiday spirit recently with a fantastic Gremlins music video!
This is definitely one of the best Gremlins music videos so far, with a lot of polish and talent showing through.
He has some more videos on his youtube profile, so check them out! http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=SteVin89
While I am not a big fan of Mariah Carey, she did a rather decent rendition of Christmas (Baby please come home), which is featured in this video. It is kinda funny, when growing up watching Gremlins over and over…and over….and over…the quality of the sound was nowhere near the digital standards of today, and as Christmas (Baby please come home) plays during the opening titles, my young brain associated the title GREMLINS with the chorus of “Christmas” and for quite a few years I thought that they were singing “GREMLINS” (not “Christmas”). I am really not sure when I figured out that it wasn’t Gremlins being said, but Christmas…..
Nonetheless, the song has a special place within me, as it is the song that makes me think back to hours sitting on the couch curled up with a gremlins coloring book or sticker book and trying my damnedest to keep my feet away from that gap between the couch and the floor…..cause you never can tell….there just might be a gremlin in your house.
The hectic holidays are finally dying down, and now I will personally have some more time to devote to the site, so keep those videos, pictures, and comments coming!
Did you find any gremlins? Did you get any pictures of some delicious gremlins cookies? Send them on in, and I will throw them right up on the site. Jypsy27@gmail.com
