Medicom's Gremlins Gizmo VCD review

I've searched the forum and was surprised when I couldn't find anyone who has bought one of these Awesome figures.

Gizmo looks like he is based more on the Gremlins 2 design to me than the original movie. He comes in a very collector friendly wedged shaped slick cardboard box with a blister pack inside. The box opens from either side by cutting the 1 piece of tape that holds it shut.

Gizmo is 10" tall and 13 and 3/4" wide. The fur pattern is awesome as well are the glued on eye lashes. Both of his arms, hands, legs and feet can rotate back and forth. But the real kicker is his head and eyes. His head which is placed on a ball joint and has a wide range of movement and his eyes can turn left and right by holding and turning them both at the same time.

After playing with him for the past hour my overall impression of this little guy is that he is a must buy for any Gremlins, or movie replica collector.

I'm by no means an expert of the Gremlins movies. So of any of you guys and gals see something that I've missed please post it up.

I'm afraid to ask what it cost you?

Hahaha! He was about $550 and change

Medicom does nice work but it's never cheap as it is all aimed at the collector market. Even their Metal Gear action figures are 50.00 and up. It looks really good though.

One small thing about your review, I bought this one myself. To turn the eyes you should feel the backside of his head, there is a small "knob" there (you can only feel it, not see it), you use that to move his eyes

Great "toy", very accurate

Think this is the best Gizmo ever officially produced. First time I see this. (Has it just been released?) BUT...the colour of the brown fur is a bit off, IMHO... Plus, the nose and mouth part are a bit too smooth for my taste (again, In My Humble Opinion).

But overall, one seriously awesome piece!!!!

That's awesome. I didn't know about the knob until now. Thanks man.

I've been wanting to get one for the longest time, but that price always changes my mind

Medicom has some AMAZING pieces. They were always one of my favorite companies, I just wish I had managed to collect more of their items!

ive noticed on ebay the prices are insane on this guy, but noticed the christmas one not so much.

is there any difference between the two anyone know? if they are the same id just buy the xmas one and remove the outfit.
