Would Master of the Universe figures in 3.75 inch scale interest you?
I'm a relatively new collector who likes to keep everything in the same scale. I'd like to be able to collect MOTU but I'd spend so much money just trying to get the old figures/exclusives. I think MOTU in 3.75 would be interesting because Mattel could easily give us bigger and better playsets, mounts etc. |

If they follow what Hasbro is doing than YES. |

Yeah i'd love to see it in 3.75 because i used collect MOTU years ago but i wouldn't really get into it again because i'd be years behind...But yeah they'd have to like the MU's articulation because the DC stuff is terrible the infinite heros anyway

Yes definitely. I would totally have gotten into Mattel's DC Infinite Hero if it was as good as the Joe's have been for awhile and Marvel Universe is getting. I would likely say the same for MOTU or plenty of other toy lines. I think Hasbro's offerings are just too good while Mattel's fall far short.
The new Batman is definitely stepping things up though.

Hmm so the response so far is positive, so my next question is....is it possible?
I never liked Mattel's customer department and they seem to be more into 6 inch figures then the smaller scale |

I voted no.
and not because I am not a fan (Which I am currently not) It's because there would be just one more thing that I would want to add to my colelction which would me yet another thing to drain my bank account.

I'm not surprised a lot of people would be down for this. I personally am not a fan at all of this scale. It works for certain things, like Star Wars and GI Joe, but that's because that's the size they've always been. The current size for MOTUC, imo, is perfect. Putting them in this small scale just wouldn't work.

I would like to see what would happen if Mattel did go to that scale, since it does open up a lot of possibilities with playsets, mounts and vehicles. But as others have said, I would be extremely leery if they went with DCIH-style molds/sculpting. I would be a lot more interested if they followed with Hasbro's lead.
Besides, imagine the challenge to the 4H in working with that scale. Having said that, I think the scale and business model that Mattel currently uses for MOTUC fits the property like a glove. I just don't see them ever bothering with a 3.75" version.

I'm one of those people that would like to see EVERYTHING move to the 4 inch scale. That way, they can fit in with my Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Universe, Infinite Heroes, WWE B'n'B, Narnia, Avatar, Terminator, Cinema of Fear, Army of Darkness, A-Team, Indiana Jones and Star Trek figures.
Well, Star Trek playsets at least. Last edited by uberlad; 06-21-2010 at 11:19 AM.. |

For the record, I would also want 4 inch Ghostbusters, Voltron, Dukes of Hazard, Lone Ranger, Universal Monsters, Thundercats lines to name a few more.

I don't understand why people want all of their toys in the same scale. They're different toys from different lines. Who cares? It obviously doesn't bother people that Transformers are in a different scale or that vehicles for the 3 3/4" lines aren't even in the same scale as the figures. MOTU is a different universe, so the plausability of your "fantasy crossover" doesn't even make sense. Let it go, please don't touch my favorite toy line. I like it just the way it is.

Besides I in no way hinted that I wanted the 6 inch line to be scrapped. I think it's an awesome line but I think there is also a distinct advantage to shrinking the size. Playsets become better in scale, as do mounts. Army building is a bit easier (just because it's cheaper). |

Theres a lot of posibility with their contracts having an expiration, it's not forever they'll be holding the franchise Toybiz once holding Marvel and Hasbro once handled and released some DC products. Last edited by appa; 06-22-2010 at 03:16 AM.. |

Except that Mattell actually created MOTU. It's not like it was a property that already existed and then they just got the license to create figures for it. They literally created the concept and characters, so they will always own the rights, unless they sell it off (which I highly doubt will happen). The same is true for Hasbro and GI Joe, Transformers.

MOTU would only ever come out in 3.75"-scale if Mattel chooses to do so. Hasbro is only being used in this discussion as an example of how good 3.75"-scale lines could be, versus Mattel's own attempt at a DC 3.75" line (DCIH). I think most of us agree that Hasbro does that scale better than Mattel.

Star Wars & G.I. Joe has many different scales of the same toy line! It would work the same for MOTU. They aren't changing it entirely! Right now they aren't even thinking of vehicles for MOTU because of the size. If they had a smaller scale MOTU they could do vehicles much more easily. |
