"We Are Defenders of the Night! We Are Gargoyles!"

For toys and collectibles - 1,000 years in the making - you've come to the right place! In architecture, a gargoyle is a figure with a spout to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. The word comes from the French gargouille, and like gargle and gurgle, goes back to Greek and Sanskrit. It's come to mean throat or gullet. But a French legend speaks of St. Romanus in the 7th century delivering the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille or Goji, a dragon with bat-like wings, a long neck, and the ability to breathe fire from its mouth. Which (sort of) brings us to the Disney animated series Gargoyles that aired from 1994 to 1997. With a voice cast including actors from the Star Trek franchise, the series features nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that have been transported from medieval Scotland (after 1,000 years in a petrified state) to modern-day Manhattan, where they turn to stone by day but awaken to protect the city by night. And to become amazing vinyl figures, action figures, and more to entertain you when you can't sleep at night… or whenever. Check 'em out below!
