Do YOU want a Smaller Granamyr? (for those who want him and are buying him only pleas

[THINKOR]

Yeah, I also want my Granamyr in original green. I just wish they would produce a percentage of them in a green deco, say 35% and let those of us who want that color purchase him in December, instead of hoping for a variant later in the line (flocked Panthor). It would mean more sales for Mattel and more happy customers.

I agree and I posted a question about this possibility on Matty forum, few months ago. However, for some reason TG skipped my question.

I will most likely buy red Granamyr, but I badly want a green version. This is for me the iconic version I grew up with By offering us both colors at the same time (but in different percentage) they could have indeed made us happy.

[OptimusOfGrayskull]

The bigger the better.

[Berserker79]

I wonder where they got the notion that people would actually prefer a smaller Granamyr just t shave off a few dollars in cost?

"World Class Research" team?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. - Inigo Montoya

I think, they read, that many fans said 100$ is too much, so Mattel draw their conclusion out of those statements.

[krosfyah]

Unless you are making $10,000 a month, there is no way anyone can afford him.

I can save $5 a week for 5 months and have $100 to spend on a figure. I make nowhere NEAR $10,000 a month and it's not like this is a regular release.

I wonder - should a dragon be taller than a giant? I figure Granamyr will be the around the same height as Tytus and Megator (or just slightly shorter), but much wider around the middle because of his girth.

This a Granamyr, King of Dragons!

"Guys I promise he is not going to be anything but huge. We aren't "shrinking him" but rather we will be scaling him to the size that works best. Whether that means scaling up or scaling down the Horsemen sculpt is based on what size the sculpt it at. (it is rare for a toy line to be sculpted to scale. Heck- it is rare to just hand sculpt these days). We scaled Granamyr to the size that worked best for around 80.00. And it is HUGE. We'll have the final price and the sculpt to show at SDCC. I promise you will not look at this thing and wonder "why didn't they go bigger" (which I'll admit I know a lot of customers say that about Tytus). You won't feel this way here. Granamyr wil dwarf Megator."


This has eased my fears of Granamyr being too small!!

this is very good to read. thanks!

This makes me feel much much better. Going back to "eagerly awaiting" from this temporary state of "nervously awaiting"

[Mamblo]

I want a big Granamyr don't really care about the colors I do care only about the size, he shall be big with a large belly!

Oh thank you Action Figure Jesus

[RocketPunch]

He should be as big as possible, no matter the cost. Tytus & Megator suffered from being too small, and I do not want Granamyr to share their fate.

[MoViEfReAk]

Okay guys... let's calm down a little bit. It was me who asked this question and I think most people in this thread didn't get my intention. So let me clarify: What Toy Guru said about toy snot being sculpted in scale is true and most of us know this. When I asked last time about the price for Granamyr, I was told he would cost between 80 and 100 dollars, making him more expensive than what we have been told. Looking at the collection and seing Tytus and Megator at a height that is 1/3 smaller than their vintage counterpart, I simply wondered just HOW big they are going to make Granamyr. A lot of people around here are complaining about not having enough shelf space and then there are costs for shipping and handling and also taxes what would make him VERY expensive.

If they made him at a, lets say 60 $ price point he could still be very much bigger than the giants. I do not want him to be tiny, but I also don't want the price to explode beyond what anyone could afford.
This is the most expensive year for MotUC, not only do we have to pay 30$ more for the subscription in total, there are also 6 extra figures. The con exclusive will be higher than last year, too...

BUT to this point absolutely NOONE around here knows what size he will be until we see him in a few weeks. I did not ask Mattel to make him the size fo Battle Cat, I asked why not scale him down a little tiny bit to keep the cost under control!

So, please complain about him being too small when you have actually seen him and not three months in advance!

[Sir Reilly]

I don't really care about his actual size. I'm more concerned about a green Granamyr never happening if the red one doesn't perform well enough.

[Mimikrakra]

A huge dragon like the cartoon.
18"～20" would be a nice height for him.

when it's too late as Scott always says. it's best to be heard when things can be changed instead of complaining after the fact when it can't.

Oh thank you Action Figure Jesus

Nice!

TG should know by now, anytime he says anything its like yelling fire in a movie theater, we are all going to go running around until we know the facts lol

[mekaneckpain]

My bad. I went back and checked. Yours were definitely taken care of, just not replied.

Awesome! Thank you.

Toyguru... Can we please get a picture of Granamyr's foot next to a quarter? Thanks!

[Nemisythe]

Awesome! Thank you.

LOL! No matter what people say sometimes what you contribute is pure GOLD! Like him or hate him he ads color!

[JonWes]

I'm happy to hear that Granamyr will be big. That's all I need.

But to be fair, it's not as if people misinterpreted the initial way the question was answered. The answer in the Q&A said specifically it was being scaled back. That is a different answer than the one TG gave, so I'm glad he clarified/corrected it. So I think the worry was justified, although as many have pointed out we didn't really know what it was being scaled down and what to.

[Berserker79]

I don't really care about his actual size. I'm more concerned about a green Granamyr never happening if the red one doesn't perform well enough.

I'm sure at that price point and with that popularity, Mattel could sell thousands of this figure

[Dayton72]

big and red please. I agree that $100 is steep for a "toy" but I think it will be worth it

[tumalu]

I don't really care about his actual size. I'm more concerned about a green Granamyr never happening if the red one doesn't perform well enough.

I'm afraid a green Granamyr would not happen even if the red one sold well..I guess it would be too much for many (myself included) to shell out another 80$ for what would be a mere repaint

[krosfyah]

yeah and the biggest problem for the greenies is that red won by a HUGE margin as well. it's probably cheaper for those who want him green to commission a board member to repaint it - lots of great artists on this site can and will do it.

Agreed. But in any case: I'd like a big mean dragon!

[StraightEdgeHe-Man]

I'll be buying him and I want him to be as close as to classics scale as possible

[Eterniandreams]

Somewhere between the minicomics and filmation size, so:

BIG
