I'm not into the new show or figures, but happy for those that might be into it. I will be just fine with the 6" Black Series and the OT.

Those two lines were originally trying to target both kids and collectors. With the new focus that Hasbro is implementing for action figures, the 6" scale is collector-driven while [most of] the 4" is now aimed at kids.

Line existed prior to Hasbro's shift in focus. I also find it amusing that when a company makes a design choice that does not agree with certain collectors, the company is automatically labeled as "lazy". That's like telling a sculptor that his bust of Julius Caesar is lazy because he didn't do the entire body.
