Editing Gremlins (section)

=== Toys and collectibles ===
With its commercial themes, particularly the [[cuteness]] of the character Gizmo, ''Gremlins'' became the center of considerable merchandising. Due to this, it became part of a rising trend in film, which had received a boost from Spielberg's ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]''.<ref name="DVD" /> Manufacturers including [[LJN]] produced versions of Gizmo as [[doll]]s or [[stuffed animal]]s, the latter of which became a popular high-demand toy during the [[holiday season]] of 1984. Both Gizmo and the gremlins were mass-produced as [[action figure]]s, and [[Topps]] printed [[trading card]]s based upon the film.<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000A1R4Q Gremlins Action Figure: Gizmo by NECA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302110947/http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000A1R4Q |date=March 2, 2016 }}, [[Amazon.com]], URL accessed April 30, 2006; [https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000A1R4O Gremlins Action Figure: Poker Player by NECA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302110952/http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000A1R4O |date=March 2, 2016 }}, [[Amazon.com]], URL accessed April 30, 2006; [https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000EO5MRI Gremlins Movie Photo Trading Cards Box −36 Count by Topps] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302110954/http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000EO5MRI |date=March 2, 2016 }}," [[Amazon.com]].

A product placement deal with fast food chain [[Hardee's]] also led to a series of five book-and-cassette/45 records adaptations of the film's story. Starting in the early 2000s, companies such as Jun Planning and the [[National Entertainment Collectibles Association]] produced all-new Gremlins toys and collectibles. In 2017 Trick or Treat Studios began producing official Gremlins life-size puppets of Stripe and Gizmo.<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 7, 2017 |title=Gremlins Halloween Props coming in August 2017 |url=http://animatronichalloween.com/gremlin-halloween-props-coming-in-august-2017/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113003912/http://animatronichalloween.com/gremlin-halloween-props-coming-in-august-2017/ |archive-date=November 13, 2017 |access-date=2019-04-25 |website=AnimatronicHalloween.com |language=en-US}}</ref> In May 2019, [[National Entertainment Collectibles Association|NECA]] unveiled their Christmas 2019 collectible, which features two Gremlins singing carols.<ref>{{Cite web |first=John |last=Squires |url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/toys/3561422/neca-turned-gremlins-christmas-carol-scene-new-set-action-figures/ |title=NECA Turned the 'Gremlins' Christmas Carol Scene into a New Set of Action Figures! |work=Bloody Disgusting |date=May 15, 2019 |language=en-US |access-date=2019-05-27 |archive-date=May 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190527193803/https://bloody-disgusting.com/toys/3561422/neca-turned-gremlins-christmas-carol-scene-new-set-action-figures/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
