Now if we don't see some 3.75" love from this, then I will sell my entire collection for a dollar! Thanos being beaten by the Avengers (with Sony's SpiderMan too maybe) and being finished off by Drax.... wow! Maybe a scale Milano from the film could be on the menu even!

That's been expected for a bit. Though I'm not sure if they will do it for Avengers 3 just yet. They have the Hands of the Mandarin as a story still left to tell that could involve the Avengers and they may want to keep Thanos for a 3rd guardians film now that the franchise has proven successful. The plan always did seem like Thanos was going to be in Avengers 3 though and we were going to see a team up movie between them at some point. So maybe hands of the mandarin is being slowly established for Avengers 4 instead. Not sure. It seems like a very heavy story device overlap between the mandarin's rings and the infinity stones. They may need to push that one back even more to avoid the similarities of alien jewelry causing world ending issues.

Guardians being in Avengers 3 has been implied since GotG was announced since Thanos will play main villain there and played mastermind role in GotG. That being said they've also been hinting periodically at Adam Warlock for the movies, which would make for the much more classic and epic final battle. I feel like Drax could never kill Thanos in the comics unless it was the way he did, all sneaky and from behind. Whereas Adam is Thanos' opposite and what not. Just my opinion here, but I would like something along the lines of Thanos' original death: Warlock is incapacitated/killed leaving the Avengers and whoever wants to help (in the comic it was really just Spider-Man and The Thing here) to fight a losing battle against Thanos until Adam is brought back into the fight and single-handily defeats/kills Thanos. They kinda used that again for the Infinity Gauntlet comic, but there Adam was much more detached and sent heroes to die so he could maneuver the Gauntlet out of Thanos' possession. Whatever route they go I'm sure they'll make it good.
The main point is I wanna see 3.75" scale toys for these characters. GotG was cheated in this scale, so we better not get screwed with A2 or A3.

This kind of makes the choices for GOTG's line make sense now. The first line had a bigger emphasis on cost effective ships for the space themes and shows Hasbro is thinking ahead to allow for the 3.75'' line to show up either with a sequel or the avengers crossover. I have to give Hasbro credit for that one then. It's a smart move since GOTG was unproven as a property and now has high demand for the next one's line to fit into their other MCU offerings.
