They once said it was too expensive to make. Well the exact same figure at 4 inch is less materials. They could have easily sold it for $7.99. So that argument is false. Oh well.

I think we're kinda holding on, though, at least when it comes to Hasbro. There are signs of the Marvel figures getting better, even if they're not likely to return to what we had in the glory days in terms of articulation. We're still going relatively strong.


Plus, they have too much respect for the Star Wars lines of the past to let that completely die, so the scale looks like it'll be sticking around as long as there are people to root for it.


I'm thinking that GI Joe is kinda dead, though. I'm not into them myself, but I've heard that there has been a lack of new stuff as of late.
