It's a scale that allows for playsets and vehicles on a degree that 3.75" generally can't support anymore. Yeah, it sucks for 3.75" collectors if there isn't a "collector quality" line in that scale, but as far as being toys rather than collectibles go...this stuff looks pretty cool. Dunno if it's for me (I'll likely buy the 6" stuff), but I can totally get where Hasbro is coming from with this. I also think that with improved sculpting and paint apps these 2.5 inch figures could be pretty cool even for collectors.

It also makes those MASK rumors make a whole lot more sense and seem a lot more plausible.
