I would guess( and it is simply just that, a guess ) that they are doing the 2.5" line because of the spaceships. Even at the 3.75" scale the prices would be too expensive for a casual treat toy. Would be an expensive birthday or Christmas gift. So I would guess Hasbro is avoiding the gift option and giving us these. Much like the Sigma Six GI Joe's.. tiny figures equal big bad ass vehicles.

Much like when Kenner started the 3.75" it w as for the vehicles. The size of the day was 12" and a Millennium Falcon would need to be the size of the living room for a playset. They scaled it down. Same here, except now the reason is savings. Crude oil, that makes plastic, is at an all time high. Simple economics. Smaller groot, smaller ship... Smaller ship, less production cost...Less production cost means little Jimmy can get it when he cries and throws a tantrum in the toy aisle..... and we always say Hasbro is dumb. This is the reason they are a Fortune 500 company and a top 100 corporation.

Let's support their capitalist greed and global destruction and buy some.of these Damn things this summer....... who's with me,huh?
