Either way, don't make snide comments, not polite. :P

I remember a few years back when MU was on its' way in and Marvel Legends were all-but phased out. I also remember predicting that when the cycle swung back around in a few years there'd be people just as angry that 3.75" stuff was taking back seat to 6" again....

But really, 6" figures aren't to blame for anything in and of themselves. You can blame the overall retail environment for action figures for them. It's all about the profit margins at this point, and highly articulated/detailed 3.75" figures simply have a lower profit margin than 6" figures, so retailers and manufacturers alike prefer the 6" figures. Otherwise we'll soon be reaching the point where a "high quality" 3.75" figure will cost only a dollar or two less than a 6" Legends figure.
