It's the Hasbro Marvel 3.75" figure design actually. That's how they were making those figures.

Correct. Those figures are way to out of proportion when compared to oOC and later Joe's. Don't screw up a good thing Hasbro!!!

Just for clarification, 3.75 and 4-inch are both considered 1/18th scale?

Ill take the Delta figure. Just not the generic head underneath. Doubt they ever would but if they released this figure on a single card and each one had a different painted head underneath of different races and sexes they would sell like hotcakes and it would be fun as hell to trade the heads.

Give me something in that vein, and my money is yours.

In this case, yes. The 3.75 MU line were basically 4" figures which makes them 1/18 scale. Most of the MU figures were a tad taller than 4" due to their lanky build.

That's a great idea. Hasbro, take note.

I had the Commander Rogers figure from Marvel Universe. I remember thinking how Joe-like it was, but there was something a bit off.

By the way, in an earlier post you mentioned an 'ME' line. Not sure which one you were referring too.

ME is short for Modern Era. It labels the figures made from 2007-2019. I have proposed that ME should not include the 25th or ROC figures as those 2 lines have dated parts.
POC, 30th, Ren., Ret., 50th lines have parts that are more realistic with better proportions. Just compare a 25th Cobra Trooper to a POC Cobra Trooper to see the difference. I think 25th should label the 25th and ROC lines, and Modern Era should label anything after.

I agree to an extent, but there are frankly some fantastic figures from the ROC line. It was almost a transition line into POC and beyond. 25th is extremely dated, but many of those ROC and later figures are as good as anything being made today.

I really love my 25th Commando Snake Eyes. I also have the Dollar General 'green' Snake Eyes, which is made up parts from 25th and POC.
