Up until I got the TOT life size Gremlin a couple years ago and the Neca ones recently, the only gremlin that I ever owned was the LJN Stripe when I was a kid.

For only around $25 bucks, I'm not gonna be complaining about these Neca ones a whole lot.
Getting mine this week...There is a knack to it, have a look at my pics if you need ideas. Try heating the fingers with a hair dryer and then molding the fingers to whatever it is you need them to hold. This was why I got one Gremlin for each look, one of each of mine is the best at holding what I need them to.
Saw a post on FB by NECA that said the Gamer should be hitting Gamestop soon. You lucky people! Still have to wait till May to get him in the UK.
I finally have Stripe now to go with the lone standard Gremlin. The sculpt is amazing one these guys, particularly Stripe, but god damn the leg joints really take the wind out of your sails. Why even make ankle and heel joints if they will not move? I've had the standard Gremlin for a month now and the knees and heel/ankles absolutely refuse to move. Neca always deflates any excitement you might have for a release with a frustrating in-hand product.
**** handicapped statues.I would actually have preferred some statues, they could have got all the props sitting right, varied poses and been quite cool. As action figures they just don't work somehow.
I've got to say, respect to NECA for doing us a solid on the price, maybe weighing that they're straight rerelease with different accessories... or at least BBTS is doing us a favor, MSRP isn't great, I guess. At that price, I had no reason to NOT preorder.
