In Oct 2012 we were given a mock up (with measurements) and allowed to pre order Grayskull that Mattel said would ship in Nov/Dec 2013 for $250
At 2013Toy Fair fans scrambled for a look at an actual mud and mortar prototype.
In a video interview with Reporter Pixel Dan, (seen here) a Mattel Representative said the castle has shrunk in size from the original measurements fans were sold:
Original measurements: 25”h x 26”w x 28”d
New measurements: 23"h x 18"w x 11.5"d (assuming this is with castle closed)
Many fans expressed annoyance and anger at this and several other details regarding the castle's features in hopes they would be changed for San Diego Comic Con in July and ultimately in the final product.
But its doubtfull.
Regardless
Yes, bigger is better and the cardboard mock up looks very exciting.
Some say much more exciting than the 3D prototype.
I'm just thrilled to have this NEW castle and actully have lost sleep just thinking about it.
I do hope it doesnt shrink any furthur and I hope we get it as planned with no reports of qualitly issues at all.
I JUST NEED SLEEP!!
LONG WAY TO GO!!
