Not sure if I CAN do this or not, but Marvel has updated the news on the future waves with pics...
Marvel News - The Big Bang I apologize if I stepped on toes, but hope that people can take a look at these, or that you have a better link. |

Fury Files Black Panther Marvel Classics 2009 These will need a little 'tweaking' but for the most part they are homeruns! And the top of the page states these are 12 inchers, but they are actually 1:18 or approximate about 3.75 or 4 depending on character. Marvel is going to make a killing on these and the other lines in this scale in 2009. Last edited by CrownCoke; 12-19-2008 at 08:03 AM.. |

They look ok, but why go to this scale? They are too small! I prefer the DC Direct/Marvel Legends scale.

Great news!
I don't know what I'm more excited about, new TFA and Joe toys coming up or this line. Quote:
It's an industry standard these days. Even wrestling figures are now available in that format. Not to mention that they are cheaper to produce at that scale, which also makes any vehicles or playsets that much easier to produce as well. But I wouldn't fret too much. I don't think the 6" scale will be going away any time soon. Both scales have co-mingled for years now, but you have to admit, Hasbro's got the lock on 3.75" figures.

I'll be skipping the Hulks, aside from possible customizing use, as I like the ML-sized Hulk with my puny humans. Makes 'em look punier.
There's a lot I'm not liking about the Fist/Johnny body; it's just too gangly and emaciated. It'd be a good body for Beak, tho. I'll skip this Goblin, but get the inevitable HobGoblin repaint, and stick with my Showdown Goblin. This one looks to be just as good, but the Showdown one has richer colors and not so bugged-out eyes. The rest of them, tho; are gonna get got like lip sores at Paris Hilton's birthday party! That Cap RAWKS. |

Don't forget the biggest reason to go to this scale: they'll rake in the cash like a combination Pizza Hut/headshop across the street from a Phish concert.
/I'm probably a few years late for a Phish reference, aren't I? |

Plus, with oil prices heading where they are (it's underpriced right now, but the price will baloon over time again), and economies being as fragile as they are, I think the 3.75 size will become the standard once again for the foreseable future. |
