Then Hasbro goes back and fills in the gap for Legends for all of the older movies but can’t be bothered to give 4 inch fans a couple of figures to round out our MCU collections. They were strictly catering to collectors with those 10 year MCU Anniversary figures, but could be bothered with the fans who were actually buying 4 inch figures when those came out. Hasbro kinda sucks.
Does anyone have any stats on Hasbro's sales for the 4 inch scale?
All I can say is that based on circumventing details on the the scale in the market is that-
1. Hiya toys, despite their higher price tag and QC issues, is still managing to pump out more figures in 2020.
2. Mattel seems to have succeeded in their decision to have a 3.75 JP line for Lost World.
3. Jazwares' Fornite line seems to be going well too.
4. Lanard attaining the Alien license.
5. Various independent 1:18 scale companies like Boss Fight Studios or Marauders Inc.
6. Even despite the merchandise drop, Hasbro is still going the 3.75 inch route with the 2019 Vintage Collection for Rise of the Skywalker.
Why? Because they know that is their MO as well as Star War's before there was even a Black Series 1:12 line.
The only recent 4 inch line that went belly up was Jazwares' Assassins Creed which was probably more to do with incompetence than lack of interest.
Sure, there may be a case for the Marvel Legends brand as Marvel's modern standard for figures, but that can't be said for Hasbro's History with the license when MU was around when Legends wasn't.
The only reason in my mind why the Rainbow Deadpool set or Sinister Six pack are going so below MSRP now is because of the general lack of energy being put into the scale as a whole.
Gamerverse packs aren't going to compensate for the lack of proper comic or MCU products.
This was a rant, but the simple point is Hasbro most certainly have the means to push Marvel 3.75 into profit, they simply don't and obviously want to gear things towards Legends due to the upscaling of the basic figures.
