Don’t worry, Gremlins Online isn’t going anywhere! Instead it just might get a little more interesting.

I’ve been reading some of my favorite G+ writers, such as +Leo Laporte,+Simon Salt , +Chris Pirillo , as well as +Ferrett Steinmetz and have come to a conclusion that one thing that is necessary in getting people to understand and enjoy your content: Content. Any type, any time, anywhere. The most entertaining blogs can go from random articles about a topic that is pushing their buttons at the moment, to the finer points of LEGO crafting, to sexual advice in (insert MMORPG here) without missing a beat.

Why does this work?

Because it is who the Content Creators are. It isn’t a situation of “I think you want to hear about my new gadget”. Rather it is “I am going to talk about my new gadget, come along for the ride if you want to”.

Those that know me, know my eclectic tastes often drive me to attempt creating and publicizing highly niche blogs and social media posts. I tried making a blog focused exclusively on “B” movies, (you know, oscar condenders like Mega Piranha, Sharktopus, Troll 2, etc) but found that I wanted almost immediately to branch out to not-so-terrible movies and quirky films to share with others. Hell, I even spent a considerable amount of time working on yet another review website when I was welcomed into the appaddict.net reviewing team.
Of course, I still maintain and update Gremlins Online but find that to be limiting at times as well. Let’s be honest here, Warner Bros is not exactly churning out new Gremlins stuff daily for me to dissect.

So what is the solution? Well instead of JohnPaul to write about 10 different things on 10 different blogs, I think it is time for JohnPaul to write about what JohnPaul would want to read.
My folly was relegating this interesting niche content to the dark rape-alleys of the internet where it would languish in a pile of it’s own blood after creation, praying for me to hit that “Delete Blog” button in mercy. Alas, I shall not be that merciful deity, rather I will be resurrecting all that content that is out there and frankensteining it into one place where I can just write about….anything.
This is a massive feeling of relief. It allows me to share my enjoyment of niche hobbies and at the same time unburden myself with “do people really want to read this topic on this site?”.

The great thing about the internet is that you can take content or you can leave it.

I will be leaving content here, feel free to take some.

Get ready folks, this is going to be interesting

Check out these incredible Gremlins Skateboards at Deathwish Gremlin Series !

Thanks to Arch Dixon for the info!

We have a ton of different items come in, and often some really rad Gremlins collectibles come in as well, and I just have to share them with you guys since they are quite unusual gremlins products. Our store houses a warehouse area that contains all types of neat stuff, and we sell it from our ultimatetshirts.com site. So if you see that site, it has the Gremlins Online seal of approval.

Check it out and let me know what you think. I personally had to buy the wallet and bag, since they are super rad. I plan on getting the Stripe with candy statue in the near future unless some loyal reader wants to buy it for your favorite Gremlins Webmaster…

Hopefully we will get some more messenger bags in, and we will probably get more Gremlins gear along with them. I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated when new stuff comes in.

I updated the Video Games page with a bit more info and pictures for various games including Gremlins: Gizmo which was recently released by NECA.

That’s right, the new Gremlins game is now in stores throughout the US! (If you live outside of the states, please let me know if the game is available in your area.)

We also have been getting reports of the new wave of Gremlins toys hitting store shelves, have you seen them yet? comment below and help other fans find them in your area! This wave includes Daffy, George and the Gremlins 2 Flasher Gremlin.

Check it out and tell us what you think!

Clever. Cute. Mischievous. Dangerous.

Quick update here, I just got my hands on the September issue of Previews (#276), which shows off new comic books and toys coming out in the near future.

On page 384 it shows off the 3 new NECA Gremlins action figures, Daffy, Flasher Gremlin and George.

If these are the final sculpts, they look spectacular, just like the ones we saw previewed at SDCC earlier this year!

As you can see in the “Click To Embiggen” picture, they are scheduled to ship sometime in November and come 3 to a case, and should retail for $17.99 each.

Want to guarantee yourself these awesome figures? Stop by your local comic, hobby or gaming shop  and ask them if they do special pre-orders from Previews. (Kryptonite Kollectibles is a great place to order them if you are near Southern Wisconsin of course I am biased since I work there. ) Offer to pay a percentage down or just pay them off right away and almost any store will be more than happy to order them for you! Then you just need to count the days until you get that phone call that your awesome Gremlins figures are in-stock!

Show your local businesses that Gremlins are a great investment, and you may meet a few new Gremlins fans along the way!

Let’s just get to it.

This was given to Gremlins Online over a year ago, with the understanding that it not be made public for at least a year, and that it would not be available for download.

The game was looking pretty unique, and the footage would have been universal for the PS2 and Gamecube versions.

A fascinating tidbit learned from a source that wishes not to be named; after finishing a milestone in the project, there was simply no communication or response from the publishing company and no further instructions on the Gremlins project. It simply disappeared. Apparently those involved with LSP were used to this kind of behavior, often going weeks or even more without any communication from the project leads. Since then, all involved have moved onto new (and hopefully better) projects, but I am proud to share this bit of footage with you.

I am personally intrigued that Warner Bros allowed LSP to make such radical departure from established canon in the form of the Mogwai Council, as well as having Gizmo reproduce a new version of a long-dead enemy. Again, I don’t really know how much WB had approved, and these changes might have something to do with the game’s termination.

Again, I apologize that I cannot offer the video for download, but I hope you are as excited as I am to finally get to enjoy a little bit of the game that never was.

More info to come soon!

Regular reader Lucifersam sent this in to us, and it is quite a neat video of some of the upcoming toys by NECA found at San Diego Comic Con 2011.

Thanks to youtube user pitu23 for posting this awesome find.

The fascinating thing about these toys isn’t that they are releasing more Gremlins stuffs, but the inclusion of the “Flasher Gremlin” from the first movie amongst the Gremlins 2 models. (The gremlin in the second film that pays homage to the original flasher didn’t have a cigarette and had a different pattern as well.)

Another really cool thing that can be noticed is the pods from the first Gremlins film in the background on the shelves. I have reached out to my contacts within NECA to see if they will be available for sale at any point….
