I've been thinking of what stuff would make nice 3.75" figures - its a scale I like as I find it allows for vehicles and a wider variety of characters.
Here's some suggestions.
Please offer your opinions and suggestions (and sorry if I mention items that have had a 3.75" line in the past or one is forthcoming I was unaware of).
Stargate (all types)
James Bond
Doctor Who (all types)
Tron - both the original and the new movie and videogames.
Babylon 5 / Babylon Crusade etc...
Battlestar Galactica Old and new & Caprica
Sarah Conner Chronicles (perhaps a one off boxed set)
Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
Brave Starr
Thundercats
Masters of The Universe (I know it sounds a bit crazy- but think of the potential for high articulation vehicles and obscure characters that never get any figure love)
Starship Troopers
Aliens/Colonial Marines/Predator - again the size more or less allows for the potential of a really nice Armored Personal vehicle in that scale.
Star Trek the Original series / & Star Trek 24th Century lines.
I own a few microman 3.75" figures that include Supergirl, Batman, Predator, Alien, Battle of the Planets /G-force and other guest characters that makes me wonder if Japan manufactures may be able to offer items that the west can't for licensing reasons.
I also wonder about one off giftset items (you don't see that much these days) but things like The A team, 6 Million Dollar Man, Airwolf, Knight Rider , Automan, and lots of 80's properties all seem suited very small lines and boxed sets.... this is sometimes done with clusters of toy cars of various sizes but it would just as easily work with 3.75" scale items too.
Lines that have had success at the moment or in the past that might also work at a small scale might be Spawn or Gears of War.
Halo has used a variety of scales for it's figures from pretty big to very small.
They are probably on average bigger than 3.75" scale but considering that Spartan's are so big that means they still work almost at that scale.
I was also wondering about a thing Hasbro could consider doing is to make 3.75" Action Man (This has been flirted with - via a gi joe release) - but perhaps such a line could compensate for the lack of Gi Joe as a wokable line in the Uk as well as perhaps even provide an additional source for Gi Joe vehicles as Action Man 12" & Gi Joe 12" have shared vehicles so a vehicle made for one could go in the other (sometimes).
There's a particular jeep and Helicopter that spring to mind that would also work in 3.75" scale and there's even been a few McDonalds toys of that scale already - the snowmobile probably being the closest match to the sort of thing I'm thinking of.
Any other ideas or opinions out there on this.
