This lifesize melting Gremlin (31x53x53cm) has been molded from an original sculpture from "Gremlins 2 - The New Batch".
This sculpt was used in the final electrocution sequence, among lots of different melting gremlins that were customized from "healthy" sculpts. Very few melting creatures were sculpted from scratch and remolded, which was the case here.
Under the melting flesh, the gremlin skeleton is very identifiable. This is an utmost rare piece; the only trace left from this sculpt was bought from Propstore of London: a raw casting of an unused skin, in rather bad condition; see the pics! After a lot of trimming, tears repairing, bubbles and defects clogging, it had to be reshaped, in the best respect possible of the original prop.
This piece can easily been recognized on set photos (in particular from the japanese "Making of Gremlins 2" book); harder to see in the movie because of the smoke and post-production optical flashes.
The original seemed to be pink-yellowish; however, this recast has been painted to match the bright green, glow-in-the-dark like colour of the gremlin blood as it appears on most melting gremlins on screen.
It was a hard work for something that may considered as a minor piece, but I can't help my Gremlins addiction :wacko !
