Need more Gremlins? The sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, has more gremlins than you can shake a stick at. There's a smooth-talking gremlin, a gargoyle gremlin with wings, and even a girl gremlin. But if that's not enough, there are rumors of a third movie in the works. The latest rumor fire was stoked by Zach Galligan, Billy himself. That's what happens when you feed Mr. Galligan after midnight. (Source)

When the Furby came out, prompting dozens of Toys R Us brawls on Black Friday, Warner Bros. almost started a fight of their own with Hasbro, the maker of the talking toy. They noted a similarity between the Furby and Gizmo from Gremlins. But the big WB had a good working relationship with the toy company, and instead released an officially licensed Gizmo Furby. See, Gremlins can play nice if they really want to. (Source)

We like the mogwai before they become gremlins. Why can't everything be cute forever? There are toys that fit that niche, like the Popples, which debuted in 1986. They roll into furry balls and pop out like cute little mogwai. No need to keep them dry, either. (Source)
