Sideshow The Twilight Zone GREMLIN Nightmare at 20,000 Feet figure

Sideshow Collectibles presents the creature from the Twilight Zone episode, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," which aired October 11, 1963.

This highly articulated 12 inch figure comes with an authentic creature costume and damaged airplane wing panel.

The Twilight Zone is possibly the best anthology series ever shown on television. Anthologies are not that common, but they give the producers flexibility to tackle different stories and characters from week to week. 

The Twilight Zone was the product of Rod Serling, who had become sick of the censorship he felt from network executives. Like Gene Roddenberry later in the decade, he felt that placing the show in the realm of fantasy and science fiction would allow him to address issues of the day without any network interference, and they were both right.

Thankfully, the audience was brighter than the executives or maybe the executives knew, but simply played along so the show would be made. Either way, the result was a new story every week.

Collector's Note: Pre-owned but figure never removed from box.
