If and when the MU returns, these recent MU/MCU/GamerVerse two-packs would be an ideal way to continue the line. Both for corporate profit and consumer cost. While articulation may not be the best, sculpting has improved and price point effective ($20 USD for 2 figures).

Like their Star Wars lines, Hasbro could keep both scales. And i also agree, though it would not surprise me, that they would test the waters for 6" GI Joe line along with the legendary 3.75" scale.

Yet, vehicles and playsets are the true perks to the 3.75" scale. Star Wars and JOE certainly benefit from that. Marvel Universe, not so much. But the interest and fandom is there. Only if Hasbro gives it the effort that Mattel recently did with Jurassic World. Create iconic vehicles like Ghost Rider's bike or iconic buildings (or playset pieces) like the Strange's Sanctum Santorum.

im disappointed too,but i think the warning signs came during some of the Xmen movie releases,we didnt even see any 3.75 tie ins back then and they dropped articulation 5p on the few that did get released.

if it does return then its going to be new bucks,they will have to correct scale many figures like Hulk,spidey,wolverine.personally i think they could have more fun with the scale,incorporating 6" BAFs into waves,playsets and vehicles like you said and i posted about this in the past.but now we come to the elephant in the room,pricing,even at 20 per 2 figs people are still complaining and stifling the spread of product by not helping the community without making a profit.
