Yeah, the lack of 3.75" is why I don't have anything DC. Although, that looks to be changing now. If Marvel were to drop 3.75" then I'd drop Marvel.

I love the elitism present in the Legends forums, their air of superiority over the scale of their collection really highlights the inadequacies in other aspects of their life. And, I have to agree, a lot of the dope collections I've seen on here are MU, Joe and Star Wars centric.

For me, it was seeing Archangel and 90's Cyclops on the shelf and my X-Men obsession took over. The 3.75" is ideal for my deskspace.

for Castle dooms front yard.

And here it is, the obligatory chicken little "the sky is falling, MU is over" post. It's been a while since we had one.

Does anybody use Legends, Selects or even old ToyBiz figures in their MU displays to portray height differences for characters like Galactus, Sentinels, FFF, Giant Man and the likes? I'm aware there's MU equivalencies of most of them but still
