 Gizmo I bought this piece about 3 years ago in a flea market, here in Montréal. Which would make it my first sofubi, if it is indeed one. There is no manufacturer's mark, not even a "Made in xxxxx". It is about 6" tall. Anyone knows of it's origin?

Re: Gizmo Firstly, welcome to the forum Fraganaut! There are a few of us Montrealers on here already, so it is always great to see the community growing. Unfortunately I have nothing to add on the Gizmo, but it is a really sweet figure. I have seen many Gremlins guys through the years, both licensed and otherwise, and this is definietly one of the best I have ever seen. I confess to being very jealous. The sculpting of the hair is perfect, and I love the hands and feet. It is one of the few versions that captures the 'animal' nature of mogwai, and doesn't make them all cutesy. Beautiful find.

Re: Gizmo Thank you~ I collect many things but rare Gremlins items are especially high on my want list and this Gizmo is amongst my prized possessions. He goes really well with the Jun Planning's Black Stripe:
