Let’s Take a Look at NECA’s Ultimate Gamer Gremlins Figure

NECA could not possibly be firing on all cylinders more than they are right now, for horror fans especially. Nowhere is that more apparent than with their Gremlins figures. Every single release is a home run, and setting new standards for creature articulation and sculpting work. When they announced this Ultimate Gamer Gremlin figure exclusive to Gamestop, I knew I had to make sure I got one. I got my hands on one this week finally, and thought we should take a look at an early contender for NECA figure of the year.

Look, I know some people don’t care about packaging, but they must not have any experience with NECA and their Ultimate figures. Featuring amazing images and artwork on the front, gorgeous figure photos, and a nice, big window box showing off the figure, there really is no better packaging on figures these days. I open all of mine as carefully as possible so I can save each one. These are works of art, and they seriously needs to take a bow over how great a job they do with these.

When you get the Gamer Gremlin out of the box, you can truly see what a fantastic job they did on this guy. He comes with so many awesome accessories, including glasses, a popcorn bucket, a pop with a straw, a pinwheel hat, the Fail Guy arcade game, a joystick controller, and a Gremlins Atari game box. Oh, and a pair of swappable hands, a first for one of their Gremlins figures as far as I can remember. He holds everything really well, and getting him into poses where he is eating or playing games is simple.

And here dear reader I have to place a disclaimer: I broke my figure at this point. It was completely my fault, I overextended the right leg joint and snapped the peg in his leg. I am devastated at this turn of events, but soldiered on. So, if you notice any pics where his leg is missing I know. Not at all NECA’s fault or because of their awesome work, just me and my stupidity.

Look at the details on that video game box! Or the Fail Guy machine! Even the joystick on the machine is moveable. The popcorn comes out of the top of the bucket so the Gremlin can wear it. The glasses and pinwheel hat also are super simple to put on and stay on just as easily. With so much articulation, all of the accessories are easy to have him interact with and make for great display possibilities.

I love this figure. Everything about it is perfect. I am super bummed that mine broke, but again that was my fault. NECA has created a high-quality piece with this Gremlins figure, and every fan or horror collector needs to own it. He can only be found at Gamestops, but you can order online here as well. Hurry: they won’t stay around forever.

BC Toy Spotting: Avengers: Endgame, NECA, Funko, Transformers, and More!

Welcome to the latest edition of BC Toy Spotting! We are in and out of stores pretty much every day, and we figure (ha!) why not show all of our fellow collectors what we are coming across on pegs and shelves. As collectors, we know that staying on top of what is in stores can be almost a full time job, so we are here to help you with your toy hunts and outings. This week we found new Funko product as we always do, new Transformers continue to hit pegs, some new NECA figures, Loyal Subjects, and some figures from some little indie film called Avengers: Endgame ahead of street date! Let’s take a look.

Starting off with this weeks Funko finds, the latest Captain Marvel Pops are flooding stores, and at this point its next to impossible to avoid them. Carol holding the Tesseract in the lunchbox, Goose going full Flerken, and more are all available. New Harry Potter, Aladdin, and Fallout 5 Star figures are now in stores, along with Funko cereals for Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Rick and Morty. The Green Ranger cereal was a ECCC shared exclusive with FYE, and other shared ECCC exclusives are still around in stores. Zoolander Pops are still shipping, as is director Guillermo del Toro. Rounding out this week is the new Little Mermaid Ariel exclusive hitting BoxLunch right now.

While at FYE I also found new horror Tiki mugs for Pennywise and Pinhead, NECA’s Paleface figure from Pan’s Labyrinth, and the new wave of horror icons Loyal Subjects figures.

Transformers findings this week include the new wave of War for Cybertron: Siege figures. Chromia, Six-Gun, Ironhide, and Prowl are popping up more and more at the moment, along with Studio Series Rampage and Optimus Prime from Bumblebee.

Gamestop this week got in the new wave of Diamond Select Kingdom Hearts figures featuring Tron, the new NECA Spyro the Dragon figure, two more Marvel Mini Heroes figures, and the latest DC Collectibles Essential wave.

Other awesome items this week include two new great Hellboy shirts at Hot Topic celebrating his 25th anniversary and the new film, the 12 inch Mattel Dr. Sivana from Shazam!, and the Bruce Lee MEGO doll is in stores now.

Finally this week, my local Target totally broke street date and put out the first wave of Hasbro’s basic figures from Avengers: Endgame. People sleep on these figures because of Legends, but these are pretty awesome for the price point, especially for younger kids. This wave features some of the Avengers in their suits from the trailer, along with Ronin, War Machine, and a Captain Marvel. Street date for Avengers product is March 31, so be on the lookout everyone!
