I did get over it, but if you want to derail this thread into some shit, then come on, let's derail this and start talking shit to one another. I've got nothing better to do for the next hour. And before you talk about how 3.75 inch was everywhere a few years ago, I shall point out that it's even worse with the 6 inch craze. Legit, just count how many 6 inch lines came with Batman v. Superman, and it kinda gives some perspective. Which I hope this comment also gave you some of.

The only reason I mentioned it as being 4 inches is because the article I saw the other day said it was 6inches.

Though I suppose that would be a logical assumption, given how Hasbro has 6 inch as its golden scale right now(personally, I think some legal stuff is the only thing keeping the scale smaller).

@ superjoe agreed. They have a ton of great, more articulated bucks that I wish they would use more often, including that maestro buck. I'm hoping that megaman is well articulated.

Just try to keep it civil. He's likely complaining about your complaint because everytime a 3.75 inch Marvel item is revealed, there's always SOMEBODY complaining that it isn't 6 inch...Even though 6 inch gets pretty much everything else.

It's probably actually just Hasbro's way of being cheaper about it. Smaller scale means less plastic and less cost so it's easier to make their money back. These 4" two packs are only $20 while a 6" two pack would be $40 and since from the look of the roster every Marvel character would just likely be a repaint Hasbro may have looked at it as easier to sell in the smaller scale.

Official photos means poo. Still a scale near no one collects any more.
Was excited but i think this line will not succeed due to scale. |

Ah yes, no one collects 3 3/4 inch Marvel anymore.
Which is why the appreciation thread for 3 3/4 inch has 15 more pages over the 6 inch thread, even though it has had far less releases over the past few years than the 6 inchers. And they both started on the exact same day, btw.

I'll add to the negativity but on the actual subject of the toys.
Hoo-boy, these do not look that good in the official photos. I'm disappointed to see Iron Man is an OLD sculpt, not just a reuse, but super old. Would have loved to see the one the game suit is based on get reused. And Mega Man's face looks off, and the skin tone is too pink. So amusingly, I will recant. I just don't see myself buying this now, unless Mega Man blows me away in person. Give me a GREAT Strider and I'll get that though. Last edited by scarecrow; 06-20-2017 at 04:19 PM.. |

If there is a second set it will likely be Ryu and Carol - two more I could care less about.

It would have been nice to see a paint scheme on Iron Man that matches the box art. I get that these were done on the cheap if they use an old mold how about better paint? And that Megaman is horrible. I understand they wanted popular figures and ones from the trailer but I've gotten better toys out of a box of Japanese candy. His face is too big compared to the box art.

What's with that stupid scale war?! When I was a kid I had toys from each scale (12 inch Barbie and Action Man, 6 inch X-Man action figures and 3.35 inch SW Padme). The only reason to be scale nazi is to have toys compatible with playsets and vehicles which Hasbro makes NONE nowdays.
It's like if a person stuck in the desert for days encountered someone who had only been there for an hour, and the second guy was wanting the first dude's water despite still being perfectly hydrated.

Eh, true enough, though most people DO have a scale where they feel more ensured of quality. Sure, 3 3/4 inch has a lot of articulation problems that arise, but for me, they feel more solid in my hand than the few 6 inch figures I grabbed before giving up. I'm sure 6 inch collectors have similar reasoning, and they're perfectly entitled to those preferences, but I do seem to find them becoming...Oddly greedy. Like, it's not enough that they have a dozen lines in their preferred scale, whereas we are very lucky to get one, but they feel that they need to rob us of what little we have, and it's annoying.

That's just my theory, though. I'm not even sure I worded it well enough to get across my exact thoughts on it, but there it is. |

Wait... what's with the face on that Megaman?
It's like a 12 year old American kid saw anime once and tried to draw those "big crazy anime eyes". Dafuq. |

Yeah, I said something samilar too..I guess they're too used for the same one boring style for all of their toys.

I don't have a problem with the "aww man I wish this was in my scale" because I'm sure I've done it a few times in non-3.75" announcements. In a perfect world every collector would get what they want. The problem I have is that every single 3.75"/4" announcement seems to have users disparage the scale and its supporters. I don't think I've seen that sort of behavior in any other figure scale's announcement toward the scale in the thread.
