Do keep in mind this movie they are doing the history of the MCU stuff.
Which by the history of it, Ironman 1 was a 6'' line. It wasn't until Ironman 2 that the 1:18th scale was in full swing. Though they did tease it with the Norton Hulk film too.

So doing a 4'' line with Part 2 would make sense and nod that. Plus it'd give them a chance to re-do the "history of the MCU" side too. With re-releasing the Obadiah Stane Ironmonger pilot reveal suit paired with a MKIII Ironman 1:18th figure, and some other stuff that could get re-released/repainted. There is a wide audience that never was able to get some of the two packs, and many of the two packs never finished some teams either. So it'd be a great excuse to merge the previous lines for re-releases with a scattering of new stuff. Especially in prep for Phase 4.

The "History of" stuff would also fit with Captain Marvel's movie since it's a 'flashback' film that predates IM1. So it'd make it easy to work a toyline in for that. Then they can roll out the new figures based on the new costumes where they need to. Most as is are really only a tweak here and there from previous. And it would be neat to have one of the Norton Hulk figures re-released with the IW 6'' hulkbuster too, even if it's not screen accurate. Or they could use the Exo-suit versions from Avengers 1 and maybe even do the War Machine version this time since they did the Cap/Iron Patriot/Detroit Steel style last time. Or for that matter, the repaint for the Patriot War Machine armor for IM3 too.

Wishful thinking, but it's not like hasbro isn't known for re-using old stuff to help fund the new. And those cinematic 2 packs really were under-used with many impossible to find like Spider-man and Dr. Strange or Starlord and Yondu. Plus even AOS ones wouldn't be hard from the parts library they have. Nor really some Netflix either.

But for now, Target exclusive video game packs should still give us some normal comic filler occasionally. It's not like the games don't feature some movie/series content anyway. And some random obscures that'd never get made if not for that are neat to have. Like the Civil Warrior that's upcoming. Likely whenever they do go back to 1:18th stuff in a larger way, it'll have a much stronger sales boom though because of the drought and excitement it's back in a bigger way.

Hate to say it, but the TRU bankruptcy kind of works in our favor in that regard as it nullifies their exclusivity on the molds used in the two packs. At least for the ones that color variations can't be done on, which could speed up putting together a few initial waves for new material to have time to get ready.
