40919 Gremlins Gizmo and Stripe Figures are bringing the iconic mogwai to the LEGO BrickHeadz theme.
Gremlins is back in the brick! After last year’s 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo, BrickHeadz is delivering another take on the cult classic in 40919 Gremlins Gizmo and Stripe Figures.
Launching on September 1, BrickHeadz 40919 Gremlins Gizmo and Stripe Figures is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99.
These new figures will allow fans to bring the Gremlins movie to life without having to feed a mogwai after midnight or accidentally spill water on them. The iconic creatures are stylised yet recognisable, so surely up for mischief, as Stripe is holding a skateboard while Gizmo is ready to munch some popcorn.

Gremlins was an instant box-office success when it released over 42 years ago, gaining acclaim for the way it blended the horror and comedy genres into a film that would become a Christmas classic.
After being gifted one of the unusual mogwai, young Billy has to care for the creature, who he calls Gizmo, by following three very important rules. Keep him away from light, don’t let him come into contact with water, and above all else, never feed him after midnight. He inadvertently breaks every rule, unleashing chaos onto the small town of Kingston Falls as destructive gremlins wreak havoc over the holidays.
Its success then led to Gremlins 2: The New Batch and an animated prequel series called Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai.
LEGO Dimensions 71256 Gremlins Team Pack made the Gizmo into an adorable minifigure (with Stripe who was far less adorable) and some Gremlins also appeared in The LEGO Batman Movie in 2017. More recently, Ideas celebrated the 40th anniversary of the film with 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo, a posable figure who captures Gizmo’s fluffiness and giant ears – the set is available to purchase now.
