MOTU Origins Grizzlor (with fur) @ Mattel Creations

[Sean C]

Real fur to wipe scalper tears. "How are we supposed to exploit the fanbase now?"

No dental drill?

I’m ngl when I clicked the link and saw the image I let out a laugh.

I'm out of the loop. Why isn't this a regular release? Or will it be in the future? Grizzlor is a pretty key figure for the Horde. Seems odd he would be left out of the regular assortments.

As far as I know, Mattel hasn't officially said why. They announced it as Creations back at SDCC 2022 much to everyone's annoyance. Only weeks later deciding to also do a Made to Order window.

Anything you read is fan speculation, like the faux fur costing too much. Yet, this will be on Creations for $18, more or less the standard price of a retail Origins figure now.

It can't be obscurity, because the character simply isn't. You can't release Rulers of the Sun at mass retail and then claim Grizzlor doesn't have a fan base. Or have less of a fan base than Snout Spout (and I like Snout Spout). If Grizzlor is too obscure for wide release, almost any character released after 1984 would be as well. And we've seen that is not the case.

My current guess is that he was planned for 2023 before they went with the SNAKE-MEN theme, and decided the Horde characters didn't fit with that, so rather than hold off his release, they went exclusive. If so, 2023 will be Horde-less. But who knows?

OUT OF STOCK while checking out . why companies force this exclusive crap I dont know its always bull.

My order seemingly went through, (knocks on wood) but the apology discount code I got for my cancelled Wun-Dar order didn't work.

[Comedian]

Shockingly, I obtained Grizzlor.

I got one, too. I couldn't find my Wun-Dar code, so I'm relieved that it didn't work anyway. I tried "SORRYWESUCKSOBAD" but apparently that wasn't it.

[Sean C]

Other people said the code worked.
It might have to have been entered manually instead of copy and paste like I tried to do.

So save that code for next time, Gadget. Next time. *cat laughs*

[Killerzeestoys]

Should it be open for made to order by now?

[ghostbogey]

Interesting....
Sort of Kind of Cool ;^)

[ShabbyBlue]

Glad I got the first run of this yestery before it sold out in just 3-4 minutes. The made to order batch isn't shipping until next July!

And yeah, the Wun-Dar coupon code worked for me. Grizzlor ended up costing around $15 after that with taxes/shipping.
