I've been saying it for a bit, but I know I am not in the majority...

If 3.75 is going to be done, I think it should be simple, 5 poa, and cheap.

The only line that I'd give an exception to - G.I. Joe Modern Era, if they continue on the PoC era stuff and make it a premium experience.

Mid level mass retail without that premium feel - might as well do 5 POA and cheap.

Before 6 inch was done well for most lines, I would not have said this. But at this point, keep 6 for semi realism, articulation, collection. Keep 3.75 for impluse purchases.

I bought a ton of 5 poa Star Wars stuff since the new movies hit. It's a throw away fun thing, leave em sitting around, give em to kids etc.

I know others may wanna riot at this - I don't understand the TVC stuff, other than being tied into it for years and wanting it to continue because one is invested in the line.

I personally would prefer these style figures for new SW characters so that 70s figs and current characters all look same on shelf. Toss em on retro cards, done.

Anyway, these look great for what they are, and I may grab a few. Agreed that single pack 10 dollar or less would be better.
