New Gremlins Toys available for order in Previews!
Hey Folks
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!
{Gremlins Online Exclusive!} Intro Footage from the unreleased Gremlins PS2/Gamecube game
Folks, this is the big news I have been wanting to share with you for a very long time now.
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!
New Gremlins toys revealed at SDCC 11
Hey folks
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….
{Gremlins 3 Rumor Mill} Joe Dante Comments On Gremlins 3
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Joe Dante (Director of Gremlins & Gremlins 2) was asked the usualquestion regarding Gremlins 3 and its production status.
When the interviewer mentioned everything was getting sequels and remakes except for gremlins, the next question naturally was about the further adventures of Billy, Gizmo, Kate, and a horde of little green monsters….
“Is there any news on Gremlins 3?”
No. Every so often I call Warner Bros. and say, “You guys doing anything with this?” And they always say, “No.” There was a period a couple of years ago when I think they were working on something but that fell through. I don’t know. They didn’t really understand the first movie, so I think they’re having
trouble figuring out what to do, especially with the change in special effects. The first movies were defined by the technique that we used, which is now out of date. Now, with CGI anything can happen, so it’s difficult to focus the story onto something that’s going to have a point. So rather than being No. 3, I would think they would just go back to the beginning and remake it.
However, the interviewer did ask if he would be interested in doing Gremlins 3, and while the tone seemed to be in jest, it somewhat comes into contradiction with some other things he has said regarding the Gremlins franchise.
Would that be something you would be interested in doing? I work for Time Warner. Maybe I could put in a good word for you!
Well, that’s fine. It would be very flattering if they came to me and said, “Would you like to be involved?” But I have a feeling that they’ve moved on.
So there is where things are, the father of Gremlins himself is pretty sure the franchise is done for the moment. Keep in mind folks, this is Hollywood. Stranger things have happened. They are remaking Fright Night, so that shows you that anything can get a sequel or remake…even Gremlins.
The only real new news here is that Joe Dante has previously said he didn’t really have an interest in doing a Gremlins 3, but that may have been coming from a “They will never ask me, so I don’t really care” kind of attitude.
