My only hope for a 3.75 inch line in the press release is where they say:

"Global master toy licensee Mattel will be developing an empowering line, including action figures inspired by the most iconic Super Heroes and Super-Villains, PLAYSETS, VEHICLES..."

While I did love the $9.99 "kid oriented" six inch figures (I'd say even more than the Multiverse ones) for JL I honestly feel 3.75 would be a better scale for kids... Granted the press release also says collector oriented figures which I'm sure there will be more 6inch Multiverse figures but I really hope they come up with a 3.75 line for JL.

It makes economical sense for parents... You have 7 main characters for JL, the cost for the Six inch kid figures priced at $9.99, that's a pretty big chunk of change for families. Now of course this is thinking they are going to have Parademons and Steppenwolf because you would have to have villains for kids to battle. For the whole collection that's serious money.

If they gave us all those figures, in the 3.75 scale priced at $7.99, it makes parents a little more willing to open their wallets for more than just one or two figures. From there, playsets and vehicles seem like a no brainer, the scale is perfect to incorporate all these characters. Besides the Batmobile, isn't Batman supposed to have some new flying fortress? Making that for six inch scale would be way huge and costly.

I keep thinking of the BVS rollout, and the case assortments baffled me. Granted, Batman is WB's money maker but when you can't find Superman on shelves and the movie is called Batman V Superman, who are the kid's Batman figure supposed to fight? Another Batman figure?

I just think 3.75 would be the perfect scale for JL because of the amount of characters, environments and vehcicles. As much as I miss the SA Star Wars 3.75 line, I did like the Rogue One 5POA line of figures. Some where hit and miss but overall, the sculpts were good and the price was very attractive for most families.

I guess we will just have to wait and see....I miss the glory days of 3.75 inch figures...
