This is arguably the most iconic of these inflatables, with the other being the original 8ft Grinch. This one actually released in 2001 as well, though it is not regarded as the "first" Grinch inflatable. This inflatable is actually 8ft tall, instead of being shorter than advertised. Differences between the 2001 and 2004 variants: the original 2001 model used lime green fabric, whereas the 2004 model used a neon green fabric. There are a few small variations between the 2001, 2002, 2003 models such as fans, but that's about it. Like the other inflatables released from 2001-2008, this is based on the live action film rather than the book. Ones based on the book would come in 2017.
