Ah, that shuttle pic is not my own. I don't own the galileo, but since I have a few of the TOS Reaction Figures, I'm very tempted to buy one.
I do have the Next Gen shuttle which goes great with the Galoob TNG figures from '87. That ship works wonderfully with 3.75 figures, but looks comically undersized with the Playmates 5" figures. |

I have the Galileo, and it does work pretty good with the 3.75” figures. They fit reasonably well in the seats the vehicle has. It’s weird, the vehicle is comically undersized for its intended scale (like an adult on a Big Wheels), and almost perfect for 3.75” figures. The control panel is a little big.

I have found that most vehicles and playsets made for 5 and 6 inch figures are typically too small, probably in an effort to conserve material (plastic) and reduce cost. This makes most of these work well for 1/18 scale, more proof that this is the true and proper scale for 'action' figures.

pretty sure the same can be said about vehicles made for 4 inch figures being too small. look at the helicarrier. that thing looks like it was made more for 2 inch figures. another is the uss flagg. as someone who's been on carrier ships, those things are huge.

Or play sets I found the BvS Batcave and JL ultimate battle playsets which are pretty much the same thing with a few tweaks for the justice league set work better with 3.75 figures vs the 6 inch basic line figures they were designed for.

I miss the days when MLs came with a comic and really kickass bases. Honestly can't remember if they were $7.99 though.

^^^ Any 3.75 collector will be greatful for a smaller measly image of a comic on a 3.75 cardback; as we all miss just seeing Marvel 3.75 figures on pegs. On the note of missing, there will be people who will longingly see such retro cardbacks as a new nostalgia. Kinda like G.I.Joe's 25th Anniversary cardbacks. The 20th Anniversary of Toy Biz Classics / Legends is nearly up (2001/2002). So send your DC Multiverse 3.75 figures to McFarlane so he can pay the expensive toolings for a generic poseable 3.75" figure body he can use for both DC and hopefully Marvel,

Anyone got extra DC Multiverse 3.75 figures (or still see some at Big Lots)? It appears McFarlane Toys can do anything under the "Multiverse" label. Fansites reported 6" and 12" figures. Yet we all know which scale "Multiverse" started = 3.75 inch.
We can send some Multiverse 3.75 figures (with the "Multiverse" label) to McFarlane Toys showing how that label began; and thus they can make figures in our favorite scale. Love to see 3.75 figures inspired by Todd McFarlane 1980s' art! McFarlane Toys 1711 W Greentree Dr #212, Tempe, AZ 85284 |

I was not impressed by Hasbro putting Dazzler on the MU card art and not giving us a figure of her. Really bad form there.

Was excited to see Watcher on card art, too. Speaking of carded, any customizer here able to make a carded 3.75" version of Toybiz's classic clamshell? Just add the word "Little" to "Legends." Hopefully Jesse Falcon can see it and get excited over one possible "20th Anniversary" toyline. If another toy company "World's Smallest" can do a license with Mattel to make even smaller Hot Wheels; then Jesse surely can do the same with some retro "Little Legends,"

Got a good idea there. Maybe a mini-comic "preview sheet" of a past, or even present and future comics, can be included. Complete with a code for free or discounted stuff (like the full complete online version of the comic at Marvel Unlimited, or coupons for more figures, etcetera) can help sell a "Little Legends" 20th Anniversary toyline.

Vintage 3.75 carded versions, of evergreen classic Toy Biz clamshells (with faux plastic edges printed on cardback), but given mcfarlanes history with marvel,he could easily get the green light for his own 4" comic based toy line.a fresh take and a good shipping system may see a fresh new fanbase emerge. |

we were also getting bases,vehicles,baf pieces,characters and accessories with those comics and legends figures back then.they cost 15 where i was but they did show up in some stores stateside for less than 10 bucks,pricing errors by staff. ive always said they should have dropped about 95% of the gimmicks and used that plastic on things like weapons,alternate heads,hands,even parts to build other characters.there was a guy who did custom MU packaging for custom figures a few years back and he was really good at it.
