The reason I chose Daffy like I said in the Milkman and Revren Podcast is because Daffy was and always will be my favorite gremlin from both Gremlin's movies. Daffy is a beautiful figure. His main color is a lime green, yes I know the pictures don't do him justice but thats what you and I get when I don't have a digital camera and am using my smart phone. His back sports the majority of the lime green which also runs on the outside of his arms and his legs, his stomach/chest under arms and inner legs are a red tan like color. Starting at the head and moving down Darry 5 little scaley types of hair that he also had as a moguai. His eyes are not stationary staring straight ahead like most figures and the reason for this, seriously if you haven't seen Gremlins 2: The New Batch you deserve to be slapped, is because Daffy is the crazy gremlin his eyes are askew looking in different directions. His high cheek bones he has three spikes in a baigeish color then on his jawline there are four more spikes, on each eye brow he has 5 spikes. Going down the back of his head there are four more spikes rounding out his head spikes. His ears are huge but that is pretty much a gremlin thing. Along with the lime green coloring there is black spots here and there just like his movie counter part. Starting at the base of the neck and going down all the way to his feet Daffy has the tan like paint thrown in making it look like Daffy is a little dirty, it really adds to the awesome detail that the sculptors and painters put into this figure. Starting at the base of this skull and not his neck there starts a black line that widens between his shoulder blades then narrows again as it gets to his tail.
Daffy movies at the head on a ball joint, then his shoulders are ball joints as are his elbows and wrist. With that type of articulation you can get Daffy into a lot of very nice poses. His shoulders swing out at a complete 90 degree range of motion. His elbows can swing to a 90 degree angle and when they are put straight they have the opportunity to go farther than that. His hips are also ball jointed but he cannot do the splits. His knees are just plain hinge joints but I am not complaining about that at all. The ankles are ball joints too so he can get slight dynamic pose but again I am doing this with my cell phone without proper lighting so I don't do a lot of posing with my figures if you want I will do another photo set, at a later date, showing the motion of the figure.
Daffy has a wide foot so he stands pretty well but with the design of his head and neck it kinda makes him a little heavy in the head so he, if not posed in just the right way, has the tendency to fall over. He came with two accessories but in the billiondy moves I had gone through I have since lost them but the accessories were a pair of glasses with the nose and mustache attached to them. The glasses didn't fit on him very well so it is pretty much not a loss for me. His other accessory was a party blower that actually fit in his mouth but he couldn't hold it in his hand because of the way he was designed but again no loss there either.
