So what figures will you be collecting when the new figures hit?

I reckon there's essentially 3 choices (ignoring the original figures and the new 6" Bandai ones).

3.75" new style figures Considering the limited amount of space I have, these are the most convenient. Thing is though, I'm not convinced about the new anime style, but I do like the idea of getting the Thundertank and the Cat's Lair.

I liken this new style to Transformers Animated, which is pretty much anime style versions of the classic characters. I don't dislike it, but I'm much more attached to my Classics toys. (Though admittedly that might be different if I'd ever seen the cartoon.)

6" Staction figures Most expensive option and, well, they're statues. I reckon it's the option where we're most likely to get all the characters (Jaga, Monkian, Lynx-O, etc). Two in that list are guaranteed.......

8" retro style figures Posable, classic styling, but 8" so not in scale with any other figures I own.

I can actually cope with the 8" thing despite the space concerns, but this is Bandai (will we ever see the rest of those 4" MMPR figures?), does anyone think we'll see all the characters we want?

I have given this a fair amount of thought and keep switching between the options - what do I care least about, the style, posability (of any sort), or scale and character selection?

There's also (in my mind at least) a fairly good chance we'll see classic style 3.75" or 6" (posable) figures at some point - I reckon Warner Bros's deal with Icon Heroes prevents it at the moment but when it expires I reckon the demand could still be there.

Today I'm going to opt for the Staction figures, tomorrow I might change my mind.
