I asked before, but have to ask (rhetorically I guess) again: Are 6" really that popular? It seems like Mattel, Hasbro and other companies love cranking out figures in this scale (and 7" is another). Why? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro released a limited line of 4" scale for The Force Awakens, and what they release they do merely for the sake of tradition (e.g. expensive box sets only available as exclusive items at specific retailers for a very limited release window).

I suppose from Mattel, all we can continue to look forward to from them are Evergreen. And maybe DC Superhero Girls will have 4" scale -- Mattel have made Disney princess figures and playsets in this scale before. And then there's Funko, as I mentioned before.

It just sucks that for the adult collector, the only choice may be Funko. If they just decided to move away from the cheesy "retro" sculpting style, then maybe this would make things better.

Yes they are quite popular. Blame the return of the Marvel Legends line. Some say that the new line runner in Hasbro hates 3.75"/4" so they made a lot of 5 poa figures and a few MU's. Even Star Wars is slowly shifting to 6" with that Black Series... G.I. Joes being lessen in release and there are rumors that they'll be starting their 6" line as well. That being said, other toy companies will be in the bandwagon. Lol.
