i am disappointed that the MU 3.75 is being "rested" and can see how everyone here wants to change it. With the momentum of the 6' line and Hasbro's strong bias towards it, it is most certain that nothing will change soon. Or at least, as some of you have pointed out, not for a few years.

i don't believe it was one reason but all reasons combined that caused our scale to fall. Poor distribution, series name changes (MU to Infinite to ML), articulation reduction, price inflation, poor paint apps/quality control issues, corporate bias, general public disinterest, new fans flocking directly to 6 inch popularity, old fans lost, Chinabay, etc...

and its not just MU, but as we know other properties have seen our current demise and have had short lived eras of 3.75, just look at DC with Infinite Heroes, DC Collectibles, Mattel Multiverse, and Funko. Many forums have constantly expressed and reminisced of a period just a couple of years ago when brands, vehicles, playsets, & multi-packs were boundlessly full of 3.75 scale on shelves and aisles. Sadly, it has passed and with but a handful of die hard brands surviving. JOE fans are seeking Chap Mei, Corps, and independent Kickstarters for fixes. Whether it will return again is a huge mystery and will rely on the old and next generation of fans. But i believe the insurgence of the many 3.75 Kickstarters (some of which i have backed) is a strong start to showing the public a huge interest still remains and even thrives.

i can't fault the 6 inch fans for reaching & enjoying their golden age either. Yet i am equally happy to support our scale regardless of it's current 'rested' state through the suggestions made here and elsewhere. Yes, we've fallen, but its up to us what we do next. Rather than disintegrate, let us recooperate together. All eras have their moments...
