No on 6 inch. I have too much time, money, and emotion invested in the 3.75.

The idea of a larger scale line seems to pop up every other day and I say the same thing...EVERY...SINGLE...TIME.
Is there a market for it? I'm sure there is. Am I gonna buy it? Nope. Not a single figure. I'm sure it will be cool, and well made, but for me the bottom line is my Joe and nearly all their vehicles are in the 3.75 / 4 inch scale. Much like Sgt. Savage, or Extreme, or Sigma 6 or the many attempts to make the ARAH line in the 12" scale...I just am not going to collect another scale. Trust me honestly I was pissed at the idea I would need to re-buy the entire collection when its shifted from oring to modern, but it won me over in quality and the fact that it was reasonably compatible with older vehicles and playsets. This? A 6" or 10"...sorry I'm not interested. |

Hasbro needs to get going again on 3.75 or 4” Joes. That’s the bottom line.
But if they do that, and do it relatively well, then there’s no reason they shouldn’t do a 6” line of classic characters as well. Keeping in mind the facts that 80s Joe was huge, that a huge section of the 6” market is nostalgia collectors and people of that age range, and that the number of people who’d be down for adding a Snake Eyes or Baroness to their Marvel or other 6” collection is probably MUCH larger than the number of die hard Joe fans, I think it’d make a ton of sense. But only as a supplement to small scale. And don’t tell me Hasbro can’t do both— they don’t always have the brains to do even one thing well at a time, but plainly they have the capacity to do so if they want. No need for McFarlane. |

McFarlane?? Nah...their Spawn, Movie Maniacs and other monster/horror/music lines were great for the late '90s/early '00s, but the limited articulation/somewhat fragile nature of those would never work for Joes. I know they're been doing fully articulated stuff the last few years (like their Walking Dead line) but still don't think they're the right company for it. Like others have said, I'd prefer Joes to remain 3.75/4", but if there's ever going to be a 6" line, I'd say just let Hasbro do them Marvel Legends style. They could probably even share the tooling for many characters anyway. And keep it limited to the biggest, most iconic characters. I don't need Sonic Fighters Dodger, Star Brigade Roadblock, Dr. Bigglesworth, or Skidmark, but gimme classic Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Gung Ho, Shipwreck, Destro, Baroness, etc.
