I can see why it sounds friendlier. I mean when you think of a guy named "Brutus" most would think of some big hulky guy. Randall sounds firm while Randy sounds...playful.
Though it is...weird if you heard Wazowski call Randall that 0_0

Though it is...weird if you heard Wazowski call Randall that 0_0 That would be funny, but just as weird to hear Randall call him Mike, I don't think he called him that once in the first movie. But I bet since they are friends this time around, that is probably what they call each other.

I don't think it sounds friendlier but that's just my opinion. LOL. I just don't like short forms of certain names as much though....which is why I hate it when people call me Kathy instead of Kathleen. (Although I don't mind being called Kat). Just the same thing with Randy instead of Randall. Right there is where we are opposites, you'd hate me because I would be calling you Kathy. lol Well most people stop calling me that once they know that I don't like it. lol.

Though it is...weird if you heard Wazowski call Randall that 0_0 It is true that certain names give people a certain vibe.....certain names even make people assume someone's attractiveness based on their name. Like most people will assume a girl named Amber must be prettier than a girl named Bertha, even if they have never seen what they actually look like and only know their names. Also....Randy is just slightly awkward though since you know what people mean when they say "I'm feeling randy." LOL. My god...

Oooh Randall calling Wazowski "Mikey"...oh man...wonder if we get a grace period to get use to that 0_0
I'm sure that's one of the reasons Randall might not like getting called that heh heh heh.

Awwww....want one SO bad! It IS interesting how all the Randall toys are very "kid-friendly", indeed. No angry scowls, just that happy-go-lucky, warm smile. I'm thinking that ROR will play a role in re-working Randy's image, from a sweet, naive kid to a tough, take-no-prisoners Scarers, even changing what he calls himself to fit their image. Carla kinda reminds me of Sheri Flint in MI, but it's interesting that we still have not seen any signs of Celia Mae or Fungus yet. Big question though...whose gf is Carrie? OnePistol, I can't help but picture your cousin's fanart on DA, ;D pitbulllady

And yeah, I was thinking the same thing. XD Oh and here is a link to the page I found these toys on. www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-monsters-university-toys-60851/

I want a big, soft, huggable Randall plush so bad I can hardly stand it! I am just so stoked about the stuff Disney is putting out with this movie, even with things like luggage to be available through the Disney Store. I'm mostly happy that Randall is not going to be shown as just an evil jerk, though. At the same time, it makes knowing what happened to little Randy that much more tragic and hard to bear.

Anyway, I remember someone saying on here somewhere that this movie takes place 10 years before MI. Really? That long before? Aren't they 18 in this movie though and 25 in MI? Are they 15 in this movie? ;

Good point there on the "kid-friendlyness". Considering how they marketed him before, Randall may very well get some younger fans who (if they had seen him at the start) wouldn't be deterred by his proposed demeanor. That is, as some scary malicious antagonist. But yeah, looking at all his stuff, he's being shown in a much better light. I gather there will be two sets of toys, the more comfortable ones are of him younger (with the glasses) and the other when he's in ROR (maybe always signified by his ROR jakcet)
*glances over* That wouldn't happen to be "college-perks" would it Pitbulllady? Hm hm. Good thing Ran's 15 or there would be some red and blue lights flashing around heh heh. You know...maybe those cupcakes ARE a gift. A perk that's "safe" with his age heh. Guess I'll work that in a bit...
Actually Carrie might be Johnny's girlfriend. Jock/Cheerleader...but I wouldn't put it past her to...be manipulative herself... ==== Ditto, huge plush! Hey, maybe it could double was a holder thing you can strap over your shoulder with a zipper you can put some things in.
Oh hey they got one of those poseable ones of him...wonder if it's plushish or if it's a solid figure with articulation. Heh...had a bit of a chuckle with that "who's behind the door" thing...reminds me of the discovery that RANDALL was the one behind the door in the trailer, not Sullivan heh heh. === Well Randall was thought 25 in the movie, it's 10 years before, so yeah 15. Now...that's for RANDALL. And it makes sense, he was very intelligent, and got in younger than anybody else. It also contributes to his shyness, nervousness, and desire to be accepted. I'd imagine Sullivan and Wazowski are older.

No one going to bring up the fact that Randall and Mike are a "Scare Pair"? Other Scare Pairs include Sulley & Mike and Squishy & Sulley.

I think it's what they're calling the packages, a gimmick of sorts...
But seeing as how early bits have WAZOWSKI as RANDALL'S assistant (and by extension Sullivan at one point)...

Just saw a post on Tumblr from someone who said they had been to a MU merchandise previewing-I have no reason to to doubt them-and they confirmed that there WILL be Randall-with-glasses merchandise in addition to what we have already seen, including a plushie!
