The first Grinch inflatable ever made, along with being the first ever licensed inflatable, and 1 of the 3 first inflatables ever. This Grinch may not be as impressive visually compared to his counterparts, but the historical value makes up for that. Made only one year after the film, this Grinch has a few things about him that make it clear he was one of the first made. For starters, the legs on the fan are incredibly short, something that was thankfully fixed on the later models. Also, the screws (at least on the 2001 version) were not weatherproof and tend to rust badly. Similarly to the 8ft Grinch with Max, the 2001 version utilized a lime green fabric, whereas the 2004 version utilized a neon green fabric.
