MattelDesignTeam ... do we have any chance whatsoever at the Gobbeldy Gooker ever being released ? The proto that was shown years ago was so epic and I've honestly wanted one made since I seen it, but I fear that if you guys don't make it, then it'll never get made. Thanks for what you do, Bill, and everyone at Mattel 🤘

It wasn't a prototype. It's was 1 custom solely made for the SDCC showcase.

For reference as to why it was shown at SDCC and never released so far in case anyone asks. Right now the future does not look bright for the Gobbledy Gooker. The figure would be incredibly expensive to produce properly and may have been considered if the reaction had been overwhelmingly positive. However the reaction has been more or less 50/50, which is not what is needed to get something like this produced. This is why we float trial balloons at SDCC. I was convinced that everyone would love a Gobbledy Gooker figure but I guess I was wrong. Bill

I'd buy two. One for the Gooker and one to attempt a Pete Rose San Diego Chicken custom.

I don't know why I said proto, because I knew it was made just for the SDCC display, but I've never seen that reply before from Bill until now ...
😥

I wish it was made for those who wanted it, but that was something I never wanted. If not this year maybe they could make it Wednesday years SDCC figure. Although with Matty shutting down I am not sure where Mattel would sell the leftovers like years past.

I'm not familiar with comic book stuff so I didn't know. That's a stinker. Too bad there isn't a cost efficient way to make Gooker. Would a cloth suit be any less? I don't think molding is very accurate anyway. Like just throw a cloth turkey suit on a basic body and BAM! Haha
