Greta was never my favorite in the sequel for Gremlins, which takes on a more comedic horror approach than its predecessor. Still, she is very iconic in the franchise, considering gremlins have always been androgynous. Greta is the first and only female of this batch of violent and mischievous little green monsters. I discovered the release of this Monster High Skullector doll AFTER she had already sold out. I had no idea they were making a doll from Gremlins 2: The New Batch. I screamed from utter disappointment and frustration. Greta the Gremlin in Barbie form? This is the cutest version of Greta I've ever seen in my life! I love everything about this doll from her gorgeous green hair to her adorable accessories. Greta sports her signature leopard print, spiked stilettos, and red lipstick from the movie. She also comes with a miniature Gizmo, and a heart-shaped purse featuring Stripe from the original film. I decided to finally bite the bullet, and pay the stupid eBay markup for her before the doll was completely out of my budget. I still hate that people will buy these collectible items with the sole intention of re-selling them for triple the price to fans like me who really cherish the Gremlins franchise and genuinely want these dolls for their beloved collections. Nevertheless, despite the hardship in acquiring her, Barbie Greta is finally home where she belongs!
Fun fact: Did you know she's the sole survivor of the Gremlin massacre at the end of Gremlins 2? Leave it to the woman to survive. She wasn't concerned with wreaking havoc in New York City. On the contrary, Greta was just a ghoul in love, trying to court her man. 😂
