I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

The Medicom Gizmo is pretty nice and I have one of those vinyl Mohawk Gremlin kits I put together and painted a few years back. Pretty happy with the result.

..but to have a true replica of the Rick Baker puppets would be pretty amazing.

I think this NECA piece is underrated personally. I absolutely love it. I wish they had made more.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

That one wasn't bad, but I think the paint/color was way off. Wrong colors all around and the spike/fins just didn't look right to me.

Plus I think what hurts the look is the lack of a gloss coat. The wet look make a world of difference on the gremlins.

I ended up getting one of those white vinyl garage kits a few years back and painted it myself to closer match the on-screen look of Mohawk.

Custom made the spike/fins as well to look sharper.

Think it looks pretty close to the screen used Mohawk, and I'm very happy with the way he turned out..
But I'd still love to have an authentic and exact replica. Hint, hint.. Chronicle.

Very nice man.

I don't disagree with your assessment, but I still think it holds up well considering its age and the fact that I haven't seen an official release in this scale that out does it. Despite its flaws, it still has a presence and draws attention when guests visit.

I'd definitely be down for a refresh or other Gremlins in this scale. Hopefully Chronicle can make it happen.

Not sure if anyone is camping out on the Fifth Element licence at the moment but a life sized Mangalore bust would be cool.

And Chronicle could make an awesome licensed ZF-1 finally

Thanks guys.
..and a very BIG 'count me in' for a ZF-1 replica. Who doesn't love the look of that crazy gun?

That would be amazing to see.
