Oh, and
Mogwaiit's not for sale.
To me it looks like a knock-off or a "nice try" type of figure. We get things like this all the time at flea markets...guys like "The Amazing Spadermin" and "Space Warz" We got an E.T. a while back...doenst SAY E.T. on the tag or list the company name anywhere mind you, but its him alright. (If he were crossed with an elephant lol)
Gotta love the Hong Kong bootlegs..great stuff!
Oh and dont forget the classic : "Ranger Fighter Monsters"

Anyhow, I emailed the person selling all the stuff because they said they had a Paint-A-Figurine Gizmo MOC from Hasbro, but no picture. I thought the above sculpt might be it, so I emailed the Web master a pic of the figure with the following:
Hello, can you identify the brown figure in this picture? Any information about this figure would be appreciated! Thanks.
The person emailed back almost instantaneously ( ) and said:
It's gizmo, it's cute. I like that one.
I emailed back:
Are you sure? Most of the Gizmo sculpts I have seen don't have thumbs or big toes?
If it is a Gizmo, do you know what toy line it belonged to? is it the Paint-a-Figurine line from Hasbro?
They replied:
Yes, it's Canadian,
I wish I could find their Web page to show you that they seem to be "experts" about Gremlins -- or at the very least to have seen a lot of Gremlins toys. So, maybe it's... Canadian?
Edit: Found the Web site: M & E Gizmos!!

So why the extra digits? Do Canadians have thumb and big toe fetishes?
don't we all?
So another very desirable figure from Canada? There must be some 25-35 year olds sitting on gold mines in Canada...MUSCLE colors, Cheap Toys, Gremlins....
Good work tracking it down Soups
