There's no doubt 6 inch have a thriving and popular community, but as Jackieboy pointed out - a lot of people jumped ship from 4 inch to 6 inch. The question is, which came first - the chicken or the egg? Did Legends just become more popular, or did the huge amount of promotion and investment combined with far better value for money in the Legends line, happening at the same time as complete disinterest from the person in charge of Marvel to the 4 inch line destroy the 4 inch line's popularity? After all, 4 inch had artic cutting, accessory cutting, constant rebrands, and even price hikes at the same time - all following some heavy shelf-saturation of the line. Hasbro (Stall?) almost did everything they could to kill the line. If they had asked the fans what *not* to do at the time - that's exactly what they did.

Or, to put it another way: Imagine next year Legends went from $25 to $35, they made the packaging more basic, removed the BAF parts, removed 90% of accessories, and cut back on artic, while spending less to promote the line. At the same time they spend a bomb bigging up 4 inch figures, improve the packaging, increase the artic, increase the accessories, improve the paints, even add BAF parts for a larger figure compatible with the line, and at the same time they drop the price to $10. They then maintain this for 3 years. At the end of those 3 years has Legends got more popular or not? Has 4 inch gotten more popular or not?
