Is it weird that I see the smaller 1:18 stuff to be more the adult line and the big clunky ones to be more kid friendly? With the 5'' to 6'' action figures the pieces are larger therefor easier for kids to grab and move, harder to loose or choke on, roughly the same size as Barbies and other fashion dolls which are thought of as a good kids size for the reasons listed above. The smaller figures on the other hand are just that, smaller, harder for little hands to move and pose, easier to loose and swallow. Also the fact that they are the scale of model cars not intended for kids makes me see them as the more clear candidate for the adult collector.

That's just my opinion and I'm open to hearing any different opinions on that.

As for the thread topic of MU going the Mattel route, I don't see that happening.
