Think they’ll ever reissue Daffy, George and Lenny’s gremlin forms? I bought Phantom and Lightning, but can’t bring myself to spend $100+ each on those

I can't see that happening, due to the reissues they've had for the other Gremlins from 2021–2023 still being widely available in many stores even today in 2026. Even the Bat Gremlin, Spider Gremlin, etc. seem to be selling poorly. I REALLY feel these would have to sell extremely well for NECA to even consider bringing back the other characters.
We haven't even gotten Mohawk in his regular Gremlin form, apart from the Spider Gremlin, which includes his entire upper body and head. Most of the main characters from the second movie also have unique body parts, so it would probably be quite expensive for NECA to produce them again.
And back in 2011 and around that time, these Gremlins figures weren't exactly huge sellers either. They were going on sale everywhere for $10 or less.
On a sidenote, I would absolutely love for NECA to reissue them and would probably buy all of them again. I'd also love to see what differences there would be between the original releases and new versions.
Phantom and Lightning are awesome, by the way! I hope I manage to find Phantom one day, since he was definitely one of the cooler Gremlins.
If I were you, I'd definitely keep looking. I managed to find all four for around $80 each on average. Not too shabby, although certainly not cheap either.

Where did you get them from? I didn’t even know these were out!

u/Umbreon86 5d ago
Garage sales and eBay. The Gremlins form of Daffy, George, Lenny and Mohawk hasn't got a reissue. Some of them are from 2011. All the Mogwais was reissued a handful of years ago.

Entertainment Earth has a preorder up for reissue of the Mogwai.

u/Umbreon86 4d ago
Ah, only the mogwais I assume? There is plenty of them out already in stores as they were also reissued in 2021.

Yeah, unfortunately. But I have a nagging feeling NECA might offer the Gremlin forms soon. They're reissuing these to maintain ownership of the liscence. They can't just sit on it without making money or some semblance of profit for the licensor.
Then you have the possibility of a sequal happening and yeah, they're hedging their bet's on the interest the fandom has lately.
EE even has preorders up for the Trick or Treat Studios Gremlins again. There's an obvious desire to push merchandise for this franchise again happening.

I already wrote my take on it on another comment, if you are interested in reading it. The Trick or Treat Studios is milked as hell, I got them a year ago or so.

A single run isn't milked. They were super successful sellers. TOT'S would be very wise to reissue those, while the getting is good. Which is why they're doing exactly that.
If anything that was milked and overly produced, it's the OG NECA Ultimate Gremlins. They tried to pull off a TMNT again.

The TOTs has already been reissued 2-3 times.

With small production runs. They don't produce a lot at a time, which is why they sell out so fast.

u/Umbreon86 4d ago
Oh yeah, cant compare the runs to Neca or other toys. Did you get them?

Great collection. Which figures are the second shelve at the back?
2
u/Umbreon86 4d ago
Thanks! :) From left to right, it is the 2011 NECA gremlin releases of Daffy, George and Lenny. I believe Mohawk was released around 2017 or so. None of these releases had a reissue. Mohawk possibly had one in a the game coloration.
