Probably because that was his listed name on the little figures of them. It was his mogwai name, anyway. I had several of them as a kid, the little plastic ones about two inches tall. Him, Gizmo, the really goofy one(Daffy? I think that was his name), and a couple of others whose names escape me. I had Daffy and Spike as mogwai (Daffy also as gremlin), and I think I had Brain gremlin, the female one, and one or two others. Never got Spike as the spider though. Loved his creepy design. I think one reason they get confused is he had basically the same look as Stripe, and very similar names. I was a big fan of those movies as a kid, even had a plush Gizmo that squeaked, and yes, I had the pink Barbie car he rode in the first film, though it wasn't an RC, and tried (unsuccessfully) to put him in it. He was too big. Had a poster of him in the car on my wall, too.

The odd thing was a few years back Toys R Us (and I'm sure other places) had Gremlins figures, and other than Gizmo they also had evil all white Mogwais that weren't in the movies.

Those were figures Neca made based off of some unused Gremlins created by Rick Baker Studios for Gremlins 2.

So would this even feature Phoebe Cates? She was pretty much the only reason I even watched the first two. I wonder what she looks like now.

I wondered if this was still going ahead.
So grittier this time around, the first was kinda dark and comedic, with the 2nd one being lighter. Do they release more about the story once filming is complete or hint at a little before then? Last edited by newfan; 02-07-2019 at 02:07 PM. |

This is one of my most anticipated movies.

Thanks for making me think there was an update on Gremlins 3.
