I really hope Hasbro starts a long running 7-inch figure line

I say this because i really love DC's 7-inch figures, their very detailed and look really good(like a cheaper version of the Sideshow 12 inch)displayed on a shelf or in a diorama. I'm thinking like $25 for each figure and $50 set pieces, its just my idea.

The 6" DC figures are way less detailed then the 4" Joes though.

I don't like 6"+ lines because they are usually only a few figs per wave and not too many waves per year I think. Since I don't buy every fig, I prefer variety so that the odds of them making a figure I want increases and IMO there is more variety at 3.75" scale.

Just to be clear, you're saying you prefer to spend more money? Am I the only one on this site not crawling in buttloads of expendable cash? Hasbro has really ramped up the quality of action figures while at the same time keeping them fun and playable. THAT's why Marvel has moved most of their figure production via Hasbro form the larger Legends line to the Marvel Universe line in scale with.. wait for it.. Star Wars, GI Joe, Ironman, Thor, Captain America and so on. DC, via their Kenner line of figures, hasn't yet figured out that five-point articulation and simplified paint-schemes have kept them squarely in the 1980s for toy enjoyability... but not in a good way.

the 6"-7" lines are cool with dioramas and such and the sculpting and detail depends on the team the toy company hires (i.e - the MoTU line that cornboy and comp sculpted a few years back for mattel) I would liked to have seen them in as the HoH line, just a short run for the collector who would snag them for the sheer uniquness and cool factor based on sculpt or just use the same sculpt as the 25th line and make it bigger with same articulation, they would have sols and in my opinion would have probably had a better responce and reception that Sigma six did.

I personally don't want Joe in a scale other than 3.75" or 12" (Sideshow).

6+ inch toys are teh suxx because...

1. it's difficult to store since it'll eat up alot of space.
2. it doesn't have a vehicle nor a playset that is 6+ inch scale compatible
3. Marauders don't/won't produce 6+ inch scale weapons
4. PTE, Chap Mei and other cheap China made plastic toys don't won't produce vehicles and/or playsets that is 6+ inch scale compatible.
5. those buggers will just eat up space on my display cabinet
