Keep it simple.

It's big. It's got big feet and long legs.

HE IS VIGO! YOU ARE LIKE THE BUZZING OF FLIES TO HIM!

Could you hose this guy, please?

You could run the numbers for whatever height you wanted to assume, but where are you guys coming up with a number of 600 feet for the monster's height?

In the clip, we see the monster apparently kind of plow through the lower part of the Woolworth Building. That building is 792 feet tall. If a 600 foot tall monster body-slammed a 792 foot tall building, the building would be pulverized and knocked over like a stack of soda cans. Instead, what we see in the clip is that it collapses straight down, pancaking on itself very similar to what happened to the WTC towers on 9/11. To me, this implies that the monster kind of tore through the lower floors of the building, fatally weakening the structure, which then caused it to collapse. He seems big enough and strong enough to punch big holes in the buildings, but not so tall that he just pushes them down.

I realize my assumptions are all based on just a few frames of video, and could be totally off but I don't have much else to go on right now.

Also, his size can be *ASSUMED* from the damage done to the Statue of liberty.

Someone on one of the other threads did the math when that clip first came out. In relation to the actual size of the building around the woolworth building and the woolworth itself, they determined that Grumpy would be between 400 and 500 feet tall

Sorry, looked for a link to that thread but alas could not find one.

have any of you ever seen a giant monster? let alone clocked its speed?

what about this........maybe there's more time then we think!

there could be more footage of them standing in the street, like in the tv spot where one of the women says "what is that?!" while they're in the street, that shot isn't in the 5 minute preview, they could just take a little out so that the preview was 5 minutes long and had a good place to end like the windows in the store blowing in.

also, what about that whole its a movie thing?

Yea, actually now that I review the Statue of Liberty's height, which from ground level to the tip of the torch is 305 feet, I could envision a height more on the order of what you guys were mentioning. I guess a 200 foot tall monster with arms (or other appendages) of reasonable length could reach up and snatch off the SOL head, but in general it does imply a greater height.

what if he can jump really high, and he has claws on his feet or hands (obviously either or) and he somehow plowed thru/bounced off the SOL head and he just went onto land, causing an earthquake or something, and the head went farther than he went because it's smaller. Just sayin

Finally we are starting to make sense. As I said in another post Mr. Grumpypants will be between 350-450 feet tall, maybe 500 but that is stretching it. He could not be taller than that because as DougBThree put it:
