Hasbro did a wonderful job on GI Joe as well in their 25th/35th 4 inch lines. And even their Marvel Universe series was great, until they started neglecting it and made it way too expensive.

I believe Marauder, Boss Fight, and a lot of the Kickstarter brands do fantastic 1/18th stuff. And I collected Modern Era GI Joe front to back, had hundreds.

I'm just saying in the current market, with what can be done with 6 inch at this point, I personally prefer 6 inch for the collector level, articulation and accessory focused figs. So if 1/18 is going to be done, don't just duplicate that smaller. I'd prefer a different style of fig at that smaller scale, and stuff like this work.

For me. I'm not saying I represent the world with this logic. Not saying the complex 1/18th shouldn't exist. Just saying what I prefer, and why.
