While they took over Toy Biz’s successful 6-inch scaled Marvel Legends line in 2007, and steadily released comic-based figures under that umbrella, they didn’t always relate to the movies. A 6-inch scale Iron Man movie line in 2008 made a Tony Stark that looked more like Eddie Izzard than Robert Downey, Jr., but shortly thereafter the 6-inch line took a four-year hiatus, as the market trended back to 3-3/4 inch when oil and plastic costs went up, and toy companies wanted to try to keep individual figures at $14.99 or under.”

It won't last long, unless they manage to stop the trade war with China. That will drive up import costs. Industries will have 2 options: convince the governments to back down, or move to another cheap labor/underdeveloped country. Weightwise, a 4" MU figure on a blister with no accessories is cheaper per unit to import than a 6" Legends figure with multiple head and hand parts and a BaF piece in a box.

Personally, I think Dwight has put himself in between a rock and a hard place.


Anybody know what ringside seats are selling for?
