Vonner and team have earned this trust from Mattel with their Indominous Rex winning the 2019 Toy of the Year at Toy Fair this past year as well as the buzz which has been received from the Brachiosaurus toy (this thing looks huge), not to mention the 2019 SDCC John Hammond Exclusive figure (a very Vonner thing to do). Hopefully, Hasbro sees what their competitor is up to and reinvigorates their 3 and 3/4 lines to at least compete with them.

In addition to Mattel, props to other companies cashing in on the retail 3.75 inch scale.

When JOE and Toys R Us took a dive, it was nice to see Lanard pick up some movies with Kong Skull Island and Rampage. And as i mentioned they improved the articulation in their figures and supplied vehicles, (minor) playsets, and creatures/monsters at great value.

Jazwares with their growing Fortnite series of figures, playsets, and vehicles (upcoming R/C ATK).

Toynami continuing their Robotech line, and ReAction with their various licensed figures.

Finally there is Hiya with their recent Injustice 2 figures but they more specialty/hobby/comic shop exclusives than retail.

Despite this recent growth in the 3.75 inch scale, however, i doubt it will spark any interest with Hasbro to reignite the Marvel Universe line or the GI Joe line any time soon.

And that doubt comes from this year's lack of news of any new upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe or GamerVerse 3.75 inch figures and even further back to 2017 with the lack of any new figures to their Revolution line like MASK, Visionaries, ROM, Micronauts, or Transformers crossovers.
