Hello I'm RollChan1985 and I'm new to this board ^.^

I bought this Gremlin figure at a store called Star Music in Chinatown Boston,MA around 1997-1998.If you look close on the back of the figure,it has the bumps where the Gremlins are made when they get wet.You can't put a Gremlin in water because they multiply.

I'm guessing that Japan,Hong Kong, or Taiwan made a Gremlin Anime that the US doesn't know about since on the left side of the butt,there's Japanese or Chinese writing for the copyright.In the late 90s,someone told me about a Japanese Gremlin Anime with a cute Robocon-type robot and a big eyed Candy Candy style shoujo girl in the Anime.I don't know how true that is since it could be a rumor.

I'm hoping I could find some more information on this Gremlin figure here ^.^

(Fixed the photos for you - zuse)

I don't know if Sanrio ever made them,but they are very Anime inpired.I even asked Gremlins On-line page on Facebook about this mystery and they said it was a knock-off.That means not authorized by Warner Bros or anything to do with the Gremlins.

But I think the Pokemon figure I've found are all labelled fairly well. And I assume there are several Pokemon experts floating around that would have caught it in a second if it was. :D

Or maybe a character from the Korean show Kiss Kiss Kiss.

It does remind me of the mascots of Bubble Bobble and Pokemon,but it's not.

I even searched for the Korean show Kiss Kiss Kiss on Google and no results.What is Kiss Kiss Kiss about?.

I guess I'm still stumped on this Gremlin figure
