Kids were able to bring 3.75 figures wherever they go in their tiny pockets. And they can play with 3.75 with other kids almost anywhere they go. Today kids just can't "pocket" many of these Legends figures; physically nor financially. Forget larger than life (BaF) film characters. You gotta buy a whopping $100 wave of 6 inch figures just to get it, kid.
We're losing losing losing an entire generation of kids who just can't "pocket" such figures. This scale oversight is occurring when comic movies are so popular with kids + parents alike (many of the latter raised on 3.75 figures).
Hasbro proudly showed almost 100 figures for 6 inch scale this year. Yet nothing new for 3.75 inch at Comic Con or NYCC. And yet even more 6 inch figures to be announced at Fan Expo, Italy, and Paris? Hasbro you can try churning 600 different 6 inch figures annually; and still most kids won't fit most of these in their little kid pockets.
