With that being said, I was thinking about how Joe outsold the superhero titles in the 80s. I had not collected the Marvel Legends line until the Hulk Buster BAF, when I felt Hasbro really upped their game on the line. I’m still impressed (for the most part) with Hasbro’s handeling of the line. Then I started wondering if Hasbro owed it to Joe to include them into the ML line seeing how they outsold everyone with a mask, cape, and underwear outside their pants.

McFarlane has garbage quality in my experience. Their articulation looks bad(when their figures have it), is usually hobbled in some way, and their scale consistency historically has been awful.
They would probably be the last company I'd want making figures of Joes. The only bright side would be that if McFarlane were to pick up the Joe license, that would mean it was a flavor of the month which might help buck up the brand. |

Only if they make Sunbow accurate figures. Main characters though...none of that BS Gentle Giant tried to pull...

If they were to make 6" Joes, I would rather Hasbro just do it. Though I doubt I would buy any of it if they did. 4" figures are what I prefer. Any bigger, and it's hard for me to collect a line, if for no other reason than storage.

No thanks, their figures break when you look at them wrong..
Bad plastic. Nice paint apps though. Besides, 3.75" only for me.

This. I don't need 6" figures. And if I did, I wouldn't want G.I.Joes because Joes are 3.75" figures. It's an established line in an established size. Changing it just loses some of their fanbase for no good reason. If someone wants larger figures, Hot Toys or whoever makes a few of G.I. Joe characters, and there's always the 12" Hasbro dolls if that's your thing.

Yes! Please sign me up for some over-sculpted, extremely fragile, static statues in a scale I don’t collect!
