Just look at the millions and millions and millions of people that collect GI JOE and (proper)STAR WARS figures.

They have CHOSEN this scale because of petroleum plastic costs a few years ago. For a dab more of raw product, they can double their (then) selling point! They basically 'forced' many into 6", especially those that love the hunt! Because they are all that exist on shelves in stores. You wouldn't go on a lion hunt in Alaska would you?

I feel a bit ashamed to admit it but even I hit the point where now I mainly purchase 6" figures from Hasbro. They pulled back on the 3.75" front and nuked the market with 6" offerings. I still have a lot more 3.75" figures than I do 6" but if something doesn't change the larger scale could likely overtake them given time. At least when Hasbro deigns to throw us scraps they finally manage to give us *ahem* muthafreaking Skurge.
