Walt Disney's “The Gremlins” PVC Set – Gremlin Gus by DARK HORSE COMICS, INC.

This set, developed in conjunction with the creative teams at both Disney and Gentle Giant Studios, captures the zany mischief of Roald Dahl’s “Gremlins” in 3-D.

If not for Dark Horse bringing The Gremlins back to life and into the 21st century, no one since 1943 would have been able to experience and enjoy the little rascals and all their antics,” Krystin Overstreet, publicity coordinator for Dark Horse Comics, told TDmonthly.
