There is absolutely no reason why they couldn't give us the exact same mold just larger.

I know there is a dividing line between 4" and 6" collectors, but if you don't see how Legends is simply pulling from the MU stable you are crazy. I collect both, but I gotta give credit to MU as I think they helped usher in what we all consider a modern action figure.

They wouldn't take the MU mold and make a ML figure. They would either make a new one or reuse old ones they currently have. I think they did more initially with MU because they could simply reuse G.I. Joe molds and charge more. Now that the MU line is fading away, they will hopefully put more money into making more molds for the 6" ML line.remember, Hasbro is the king of repaints and reusing molds over and over again.
