When you’re working with Gremlins, nothing ever goes quite according to plan.
Originally, NECA planned to release its four SDCC exclusives this week, unveiling one each day from July 7-10. While that’s still the general plan, one of the exclusive figures leaked late last week when it was spotted at Walmart.
The leaked Gremlins Unofficial Summer Games Figure features Stripe carrying the Olympic torch and wearing a snorkel, swim trunks, and flippers (all removable). It’s an especially ironic figure, as both SDCC and the Summer Olympics were canceled/postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The articulated figure comes in a flapped window box that features art inspired by original Gremlins newspaper ads.
Following the leak, toyark.com exclusively published images and information about the figure, which will be available from Walmart (in-store and online) and from thenecastore.com on July 23. The figure will cost $29.96 at Walmart and $34.99 directly from NECA.
Stay tuned throughout this week for the three additional NECA exclusives.
