Gremlins: 13 Amazing Replicas Every Fan Should Own
In 1984, Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg teamed up to create a film that would become one of the best examples of horror comedy to ever be released. Small monsters terrorising a small American town sounds like something out of a Stephen King novel, but in Gremlins the scares were equalled by a dark streak of humour that captured the imagination of a generation. A sequel followed in 1990 in Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Unlike the first film, the second bite of the Gremlin cherry abandoned a straight story in favour of throwing in as much mischievous chaos, parodies and in-jokes into the mix as possible, which included the appearance of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, a Phantom of The Opera skit, bat and spider gremlins and even a would be bride Gremlin in the hormone enhanced Greta. Over two decades on and Gremlins are still as popular as ever. They have featured in TV adverts with telecommunications hotshot Peter Jones, appeared in numerous Greatest lists, and even been revamped in a new short fan-made movie which received praise from Joe Dante. Mix in the continued whispers of a third film being developed, and the appeal of the little green monsters is a long way from fading. So it comes as no surprise that Gremlin replicas are a must have for many film fans, leading to some spending thousands collecting everything from full sized replicas to four inch tall action figures. With so many to choose from though, what are the collectibles that every devotee should own? Here is our rundown of the best money can buy.
