They can simply scale the parts larger for new production molds. I'm not quite sure why everyone is intent on believing these are 3.75", when it explicitly says "new, larger scale". It's right there in black and white....

Because it would make no sense to upscale MU parts and make new physical molds when ML parts already exist. Especially for something like bleeding edge Iron Man that has a full set of parts for 6" scale already made. If they didn't have things like the thigh swivel you might have a point. Reducing articulation would save money on ML but switching to MU molds wouldn't. If makes zero sense for saving money, and that's the one thing Hasbro seems to spend time on.



Also, we've seen so many errors in promotional material from Hasbro getting the size wrong wouldn't be surprising. Like the previously mentioned Cloak and Dagger 2-pack that was still being solicited by Hasbro after figures had shown up and we knew they were single carded. The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. It seems that old info or concept ideas sometimes get mistakenly sent to the marketing team. It means either the picture is wrong or the text is.
