Pre-Orders Available for NECA’s Mohawk The Spider-Gremlin!
Finally after much begging and pleading with NECA for additional Gremlins figures, we see something even better than a new series of 6″ figures, Mohawk arrives this October, and looks better than we could have imagined. These should be retailing between $49.99 and $59.99 depending on your store.
From NECA:
When fully assembled, the Spider Gremlin stands over 10″ tall and is nearly 15″ across and over 12″ deep!It is enormous and full of detail! An incredible re-creation of the puppet seen in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, the Spider Gremlin features a hinged jaw, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and wrists and 8 massive spider legs that are also articulated in 3 places each! In total, over 30 points of articulation!Also includes a support stand to help balance and display him in your desired poses.
Supporting your locally owned hobby stores in this day and age is an immense show of respect for those that help the collectibles community exist. Local stores are where the action is, where people gather and discuss their favorite nerddom or play games that you may not have even known exist or introduce you to a comic that isn’t necessarily the hottest, but has something special to offer.
These are the stores that will continue carrying a product like Gremlins even while the big box stores or internet discounters discontinue them in favor of whatever is newest. They will carry it because they know that you personally will come in for it. You know what? Having been on both sides of the counter, it just feels good. It feels great getting that unusual item for a small group of customers that really appreciate it. It also feels fantastic as a customer when you are remembered walking in the door and appreciated for your quirky hobbies.
So if you can, support your local hobby/gaming/collectibles/comics/toy stores. Show them that Gremlins fans have money and want to spend it in their stores. Keep the toy line alive!
FEARnet interviews Zach Galligan on the waxwork films
Zach talks about his love of schlock horror movies, the re-casting of Sarah, his own experiences working with Anthony Hickox and much much more.
In the second one, I’m also particularly proud of all of the stunts I did. I did all of the stunts. If you notice, my character takes a beating in ‘Waxwork II.’ He gets the shit beat out of him! And all of those things like the flying through the air and landing while facing the camera after being punched by the guy who had his
face kind of hanging off, which side-note was actually the doorman at a really popular Los Angeles club.

Gremlins Preservation Project
Hey folks!
One thing that many people have asked me over the years I have been running Gremlins Online is that people want to get their hands on the various Gremlins articles that were featured in magazines and newspapers in the 1980’s. Unfortunately as time goes on, the opportunities to acquire these articles become more and more infrequent.
Sure you can order them on ebay from time to time, but the fact that they are nearly 30 years old means that many have degraded from use or prices are astronomical.
This is where we come in. I would like to introduce the “Gremlins Preservation Project”
I am looking for people that are willing to help preserve these articles digitally.
Now keep in mind any articles or magazines that are available already we will not be archiving, as those can be acquired from normal sources. This is only for hard to get items that people otherwise would not be able to enjoy. Example: Fangoria is in the process of digitizing their library in ebook /app form, so Fangoria articles would not be included in the project. (the image is just included for an example) We will also be directing people to those resources, which hopefully will help the companies putting their Gremlins articles (or magazines containing Gremlins articles) out there see that there is significant demand for their product.
As more becomes available for purchase online, we will remove our archival versions.
So the first step in the GPP is to gather as much information about the magazines and newspapers that featured the Gremlins films. (We will begin with Gremlins then work on Gremlins 2 at a later date)
Here is what is needed from you if you want to help the GPP:
(Feel free to use this as a template for any submissions)
Email Subject: GPP Submission from (your name)
Source Type: (Magazine/Newspaper/Etc)
Source Name: (Example: Atlanta Journal or Starlog Magazine)
Source Date: (As close as possible to the release date)
Issue: (Specific issue or volume. For newspaper, specific date)
Country: (The country this was released)
Cover Image (Please attach an image of the cover if possible)
Other Details: (Any other details you would like to share about the source)
email any of them to me Jypsy27 AT Gmail.com (change the AT to @) and I’ll begin adding them to an upcoming section of Gremlins Online. All contributors will be credited in a contributor’s section.
So let’s do this, let’s keep all that information alive! Even though the years may pass and the paper may fade, we can ensure everyone will enjoy these articles for years to come!
