Integration

I agree that both are still equally viable at retail, if handled correctly by all parties involved.

My personal choice is 3.75"/4" scale, mostly because I was raised on a healthy diet of Kenner's Star Wars and Hasbro's G.I.Joe:ARAH. And now that I'm older and have a family, cost and space constraints have only reinforced this decision.

That doesn't mean that I am one of those collectors who feel that, to paraphrase Connor Macleod, "there can be only one". At one time, I was a heavy collector of the original Marvel Legends. There were other lines in similar scales that I would cherry pick from as well, but ML was the main one.

In fact, I still cherry pick 6" figures from the recent ROML (Avengers Hulk) and movie sublines (IM2 Mk IV and WM), as well as the occasional DCUC figure (which is just Batman and AzBats, right now. Would've also included DCUC Gentleman Ghost, if I had ever found the elusive bastard at retail). If I had the funds, I'd have even gone whole hog into MOTUC.

So yeah, collect whatever you like. Both have their pros and cons and it all really boils down to personal preference. Any other rationalizations for choosing one over the other can be mitigated one way or another.
