I'm guessing it will be mostly 1:12 scale. I'd like to see re-released 1:18 including some vehicles. I regret not getting some of the German and Soviet stuff after going all-in on the Marauder WWII line.

Low cost crude 5POA is my guess.

There's no way the mainline figures aren't 6" scale to go with their Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black, G.I. Joe Classified, Power Rangers Lightning Collection, Fortnite Victory Royale and Ghost Busters Plasma lines. That scale is Hasbro's bread and butter now, and for the most part they're very good at it. As long as we ignore the Overwatch Ultimates line.

If they are gonna do a kids line with it though, it'll be Mission Fleet scale. That 2.5 seems to be the next big thing going forward. And the "chibi'd" figures make them more palatable for overbearing parents who don't want their kids enjoying anything "violent" or "aggressive".

Not wanting to derail the thread or get off topic, but I would happily take any Star Wars story done by those three. I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan to begin with (I check out if the story focuses too much on old men in bathrobes with flashlights) but those three seem to understand how much actual fun stories you can get from the universe of Star Wars.

That was the best part.

The story had to go there at some point. I thought it might come later. I actually thought that episode would have been a great place to end The Mandalorian. Have it be a great two season show. Leave it at that. Would have been a great place to stop.

I'm sure they'll do that 3 poa static larger figures for places like the dollar store

I would've told stories either in the distant past or the distant future, so as to not step on the toes of the original trilogy.

6' Indiana Jones would be so pointless to me.
I'd get like Raiders Indy and Temple of Doom Indy and want nothing else.

Indiana Jones really needs vehicles, horses playsets to be a worthy line imo.

You could almost say that about Star Wars but Star Wars on the other hand has thousands of cool designs/characters that at least look cool in 6".
There's always new ones to be made and wanted.

The ending works fine if you ignore the Sequel trilogy, as it takes place after the OT ended. Now that the open war with the Empire is over Luke is on a mission to rebuild the Jedi order or something like that. It's a good glimpse of other moving parts of the universe at large, bringing all the elements of the world together, without damaging the legacy the OT built up.....which is exactly what the sequel trilogy ended up doing.

People said that about Star Wars AND G.I. Joe, and they're both doing really well in the 6" scale. While I love me some 1:18 stuff, and the OG 80s Joe will always be one of my favorite toylines, 6" figures are just more "collector friendly". The figures just present better on a shelf as they're big enough to let you see all their fantastic detailing, but still small enough to be fun to fiddle with.

With a line like Indy, you don't go in expecting a multi-decade, ever expanding franchise. You expect some of the main heroes, some of the main villains (though I am curious how they'll handle Nazis) and maybe throw in some oddball esoteric reference figures to some forgotten media releases (The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles?). Much like Ghostbusters, expect this to have some media furvor due the movie, get a few waves of figures out fairly quick, then slowly peter out of existance

It's the de-aging of Mark Hamill, and the resurrection of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher, that I find off-putting.

.....fair enough, that face was a bit creepy. Should've just recast him tbh. His son, Sebastian Stan, already seemed willing to take up the part.
