Yeah, the Brain Gr..."troll" is right! :P<br /><br />Yeah, the Brain Gremlin has thus far eluded me...and then when I realized a year or two ago that I should've picked him up when he came out, he was too expensive. I'm hoping that they re-release him (and it would be nice if they made a new Stripe) soon, although it's disturbing that the price on those new Gremlins figures has risen with each new wave. Have you seen Lightning Gremlin? I know I'll get him eventually, but I already feel stupid in advance for paying 12 bucks for a few pieces of flat blue plastic:<br />http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12918178<br /><br />I really wish they'd make a third Gremlins movie...Zach Galligan could use the work, and I'd never pass up a chance to see the still-radiant Phoebe Cates on-screen again.Eddiehttp://phantommenaceholiday.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543195171933661664.post-55973711509099567332012-09-30T08:04:37.127-04:002012-09-30T08:04:37.127-04:00I think the commen nomenclature for that would be ...I think the commen nomenclature for that would be "Troll", but Gremlin works much better I think ;-)<br /><br />That's a cool collection.

Here's my modest Gremlins collection, some of which was mine from when I was a kid (not shown: the ridiculous 3' plush Gizmo my sister found for me in a thrift store a decade ago)--<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/12145399@N05/8038162783/sizes/k/in/set-72157628613403889/<br /><br />As for The Gremlin Rag, completely agree with you on its greatness. A few years ago, I was back in Cleveland (where I grew up) and hanging out with one of my childhood friends. We wanted to do something weird, so I downloaded The Gremlin Rag, burned it onto a CD, and then we drove past the endless strip of lame bars that fill my old neighborhood. I'd slow the car down to a crawl, roll down the windows, and then when enough drunken douchebags were out in front of the bar smoking, I'd BLAST The Gremlin Rag at them, and we'd die laughing. The only question is, were WE the Gremlins...or were they...???Eddiehttp://phantommenaceholiday.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543195171933661664.post-6852960322660486962012-09-29T17:33:25.563-04:002012-09-29T17:33:25.563-04:00You just became 10 times more awesome.
