Welcome to the new showdown over 6-Inch G.I. Joe Black Series figures. We have already seen Round One go down with a small victory in favor of producing a 6" G.I. Joe line. Now more then ever, a new scale or size class is needed in the ARAH G.I. Joe Universe. Not only would the new size class bring back a huge chunk of the larger ARAH G.I. Joe fanbase, it would also bring in new collectors from the 6" realm of collecting.

Over the years I have seen a lot opinions on size class and people who discounted the G.I. Joe Modern Era Body style as a "fad" that would be short-lived. I have seen a lot of the "Old Guard" swear up and down they would never collect modern era. However we all know that the G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Line ignited the brand, and launched G.I. Joe back into the spotlight. Since that time, we have had two live action G.I. Joe Movies with different levels of success, and a big decline in retail sales of the G.I. Joe Brand.

If something is not done soon to bring back the larger pool of fans, ARAH G.I. Joe will be limited to Collecting FSS figures and whatever the G.I. Joe Club decides to produce. This may be fine for the Hardcore Collectors who are willing to buy figures at 3x the cost of major retail, but will kill the line for the general collecting public. The popularity and character selection is just not there in 4 inch scale. I can personally see the G.I. Joe Club running into problems with the same topic after FSS 3.0.

The bottom line is will you support G.I. Joe 6" Black Series?

Sound off after the jump and let us know how you feel about G.I. Joe 6" Inch but most of all cast your vote!... [Read More]
