Gremlins are officially part of Home Depot’s 2026 Halloween collection, and for the first time you can put the whole troublemaking troupe on display. Two separate animatronics carry the license this year – a five-foot trio and a standalone Mohawk – and both landed online the day the collection dropped. Here is exactly what you get, what each one costs, and which belongs in your display.

What Are Home Depot’s 2026 Gremlins Animatronics?

The Gremlins pieces are officially licensed props built for Home Depot by Gemmy, sold under the Halloween Classics side of the 2026 collection. They arrived alongside the retailer’s headline giants – the returning 12 ft. Skelly, an 11 ft. mummy, and an 8 ft. plant monster – when the collection went live online and in the app on July 16, with stores stocking Halloween starting in late August. If you want the full picture of what dropped this year, our Home Depot 2026 launch guide walks through the whole lineup. The two Gremlins props are designed to work together: the trio sets the scene, and the Mohawk gives you a close-up character with a moving mouth.

The 5 ft. Animated LED Gremlins 3-Piece ($249)

This is the centerpiece. The Animated LED Gremlins 3-Piece (model 26GM55723) stands five feet tall and clusters three gremlins together as one prop. A motion sensor triggers a single synchronized movement – all three heads turn from left to right in unison – paired with five unique pre-recorded phrases. Coverage of the reveal reported the trio as a popcorn-munching gremlin, one wearing 3D glasses, and the infamous flasher gremlin, a nod to the movie’s most recognizable gags.

How it performs

Be realistic about the animation: this is a value prop, not a top-tier servo piece. The heads tilt side to side rather than delivering the multi-axis motion you get from Home Depot’s app-controlled giants. What you are paying for is the licensed character set and the fact that a full trio of gremlins lands under $300 – a genuinely rare thing at mass retail.

Where it works

Home Depot lists the 3-Piece as indoor use only, so plan on a covered porch, entryway, or an indoor Halloween scene rather than an exposed yard. It weighs about 28 pounds, needs two people and roughly 30 minutes to assemble, and collapses down for off-season storage.

The 3.5 ft. Animated LED Mohawk ($179)

Also pulled from the Gremlins world, the Animated LED Mohawk (model 26GM58497) is a single 3.5-foot figure priced at $179. Its standout feature over the trio is mouth movement, which makes it read as a talking character up close rather than a head-tilting group prop. Home Depot designed it to pair with the 3-Piece, so the two are meant to share a display – the trio in the background, the Mohawk front and center as the ringleader. If you only want one Gremlins piece and prefer a single expressive figure to a static-ish cluster, the Mohawk is the pick.

Which Gremlins Animatronic Should You Buy?

Choose the Gremlins 3-Piece if you want maximum on-theme impact for the money – three licensed characters and a five-foot footprint for $249, ideal for an indoor Halloween Classics scene. Choose the Mohawk if you want a single, more expressive figure with a moving mouth at a lower $179 entry, or you are building a display piece by piece. Fans of the license will want both, since Home Depot designed them to stand together. You can shop the Gremlins 3-Piece and the Animated LED Mohawk at The Home Depot. If your budget only stretches to one giant statement piece instead, compare Home Depot’s flagship skeletons in our Ultra Skelly vs classic 12-ft breakdown.

What to Know Before You Buy

They are online first

Both Gremlins props launched on HomeDepot.com and the Home Depot app on July 16, ahead of the in-store rollout that begins in late August. If you want one at full selection, buying online early beats waiting for shelves to fill in the fall.

Indoor placement

The 3-Piece is rated for indoor use only, and licensed character props like these generally are not built to survive weeks of direct weather. Keep the electronics dry and store them indoors in the off-season – moisture is the leading cause of animatronic failure.

Licensed props sell out

Home Depot’s licensed Halloween tie-ins tend to move faster than generic decor, and popular characters can disappear before Halloween. Decide early if the Gremlins set is on your list.
