i completely agree.

Given the massive amount of 5 inch leftovers from the initial cartoon run of Avengers/Spider-Man/Guardians (a couple of years back) and now from Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War, it wouldn't seem the scale is a success.

However, it remains a popular scale nonetheless for children. A scale adopted by other brands like DC, TMNT, Ben-10, and the like. A 5 inch size best suited for boys & girls with small hands, durable for play, and with large accessories that will less likely get lost.

Compounding the situation, Hasbro has made vehicles for this 5 inch scale in the past (ex: Ultimate Spider-Man & Black Panther) and have even produced playsets (ex: Into the SpiderVerse & Avengers Hulkbuster Ultimate HQ).

All of this, sadly, seems to be replacing the 3.75 inch scale at present.
