It would be stupid. Why would I want them? Too expensive to troop build or have vehicles for, not as much detail as Sideshow.
I'll stick with Kreo and 3 3/4th thank you. |

Personally, I think those Star Wars figures are going to tank. It's the same characters in a different scale. What is really different other than the size? And what value is really added with that size? Not a chance Hasbro does this with Joe. They are having a hard enough time keeping the line afloat as is.

And even among long time Star Wars fans, I think the 3.75 line has pretty well burned itself out for most collectors: Hasbro has reached a point where there just isn't a lot of room for improvements on existing core characters, themselves so heavily released fans aren't getting all that excited for a Darth Vader with a couple of new accessories; many characters fans want are increasingly falling into the "too niche for retail" realm (like Jocasta Nu); and stuff that would probably sell to kids collectors ignore because it tends to be the same stuff they've had for a decade (realistically, I think the line could be doing a LOT better if Hasbro had released more Darth Vader, Fett, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo figures over the past couple years). But unlike Star Wars (which has been so successful and so prevalent, they've pretty well tripled or more dipped into anything worth doing several times over), GI Joe hasn't seen the retail support to "clear the wants" to that degree. Further, my observation is that GI Joe fans are FAR more tied to their preferred scale than most other toy collecting groups tend to be. In all reality, a 6" GI Joe series would probably bring in more casual collector interest from groups that haven't been big into the brand. But I can also see it cannibalizing what collector sales the line DOES have, not to mention a general reluctance to see GI Joe in a new scale.

I like the idea of GI Joe toys in the 6" scale and I would buy some but I grew up with 1/18 scale GI Joe toys and at the end of the day, part of the reason why I collect them is that I'm fond of the 3.75" scale.
Incidentally, I am looking forward to the Star Wars Black Series toys. |

My opinion is no. My reasoning, it would start strong with some key figures, and then leave me wanting for more that will never get produced. I'd rather the resources be spent on more current sized characters we ("I") want. (if that option existed).

I would not buy 6 inch Joes. It wouldn't be GIJoe to me, they wouldn't fit in any of my vehicles lol. It'll work great for Star Wars, the star wars collectors have been wanting a collector targeted line for a while and that scale works great for Halo and Mass Effect but I can't see it for GIJoe.
