They talk about the fate of the 3.75 inch line in the last few minutes. Basically the same argument we've heard before, that the 6" line takes priority because it's more popular and that it's difficult to try and do two deep collector-oriented lines in differing scales.

He does say that there's a chance the line will see a resurgence "when there's a hunger for it," but the problem is I don't know how you can possibly gauge demand for a line when there's virtually no product. However he did say that it's likely we'll still see exclusives and cited the movie two-packs. Maybe there's gonna be a Black Panther two-pack after all. The Homecoming two-pack was revealed separately from the rest of the Homecoming line, right?

indeed it is same BS response they have been saying for a while

That was a factor. Couple that with near non-exsistant retail presence and hasbro ( by hasbro i mean stall ) effectively killed the line.

I miss the reasobly priced, properly articulated mu figs and i would love em to return proper. I call bs on stalls statement that running two lines is not " feasible" or what not. Price the damn things at 7 bucks, give back the artic and gear, merge movie and comic lines, properly case pack ( no bs short packs etc ), and they will sell. Hell i collect legends NOW cause up until the hit monkey wave or so the legends selection sucked. And even then only rshulk, punisher hawkeye and dp were what caught my intrest.

And its funny cause now legends is doing 6" garbage movie figs......just like what 3.75 did....sooooo.

Guess hasbro doesnt learn from its mistakes...they just up the scale.

yes it is sad that some collectors jump ship so quickly
sure when the figures are new they are $12.99 but look at some of Walmart.com's prices
I got Captain Marvel comic packs for really cheap!

.

and that is because of vehicles! from the very beginning they were made to go along with all the vehicles
even G.I. Joe chose that scale for the vehicles
Hasbro has really dropped the ball on vehicles lately.

No kidding! I know Gamestop was selling 6 inchers for as little as $4! My Walmart can't seem to give away some of them for $15. Popular? I doubt it. Maybe popular to the retail buyers but not to their customers.
