Most are giving it some breathing space right now though. Market demand fluctuated. Right now market wants bigger. But the market is cyclical, and smaller will come back around again. Also depends on various factors and needs as well as line cost efficiency. 1:18th is typically better for vehicles and bigger side aspects, and the market doesn't have much of that right now, but later it should. That's what made Jurassic World work on 1:18th because the dinosaurs and vehicles are the bigger play factor with the figures needing to be budget friendly.

Not a bad thing. It happens with the market. We had a long push of 1:18th in the 2000s between Ben 10 and other lines, now it's getting a breather, and then we'll get another long run of 1:18th again. Though much of the new Ben 10 stuff does scale nicely still on a few.
