True. As many of us have integrated ToyBiz's Marvel 5" figures into our MU collections in some form or another already.

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.

By "Most", it's really Hasbro that's dropping the 3.75 inch ball here.

Lanard has soldiered on through the decades and Mattel axed their 3.75 inch DC lines years back.

While Star Wars is bringing back their Vintage Collection, their vehicles and playsets offerings have significantly dropped over the past decade. And "bigger" couldn't be more true, with the recent HasLab projects.

No one really knows when Hasbro's hiatus for GI Joe and Marvel Universe will end either. Outside of the recent GamerVerse two packs, which does NOT have any further news of late; We can only speculate a couple years from now.
But that doesn't quell the demand that many MU fans have now especially with the largest Marvel blockbuster movies and sequels, not to mention the end of an Avengers saga/cast.

As a result, kickstarters, back-collecting, and other brands are what many 3.75 inch collectors are up to now.
