Thread 11591965

I don't want this to be standard. The smaller toys get, the more flawed the sculpts will be. Then we'll have to get even smaller toys of smaller characters.

>>11591965 (OP)
Then accept paying more for your hasbro toys

Kicking it all off with a painfully overpriced Tron HasLab probably means you wont have much to worry about.

>>11591965 (OP)
The Tron figures look alright. I'd prefer an even 4 inches so they could do slightly-longer legs that better proportion

>>11591965 (OP)
Its a good scale for Star Wars and Pokémon. Wouldn't like it for Dragon Ball or Masters of the universe. It really depends on the line. Like if you can make reasonably priced products like a WWE ring then keep it 1/12. With star wars ships get just to large and theres to much variety. 1/12 would be expensive and slow to come out. They are also huge and hard to display without alot of space. I get your concern but you shouldn't sweat it. 1/12 still seems like the it thing for most ips. Even getting scooby doo 1/12 figures now. Shit is really cool. The mando ghost buster stuff is also pretty cool and 1/12

The smaller the scale, the better the vehicle possibilities are. When Hasbro showed the Tron figures in that scale no one noticed that they were smaller because their overall design made them look like the 6" size figures. If this is the way they're going with it, then I do want to see how they could do SW and GI Joe figures because they're definitely better-proportioned than 3.75" figures of the past were.

So I am whole-heartedly giving it a chance. I am sick and tired of wondering which vehicles are possible for the Joes, and how many hundreds they'll cost.

Army men, miniatures, and figurines have great sculpts though

>>11591965 (OP)
qrd? i don't follow hasbro figures.

>>11592201
They're doing a 3.75" Tron HasLab, and it has been intimated that this will be the first in a larger push of 3.75" product.

>>11591965 (OP)
I like 3.75 for worldbuilding, army building, and just in general being able to get more figures because they take up much less space and are cheaper (or were...).

But I think 1/12 is the sweet spot for action figures. Big enough to have a lot of detail, articulation, and look impressive on a shelf. But small enough to play with and pose and do photography or whatever else you want. Ideally there should be both options but it is obvious 1/12 is overall more popular and profitable which is why it gets supported more.

>I don't want this to be standard.
Nobody cares what you want. Nobody is cancelling anything based on a HasLab. But then autists tend to be hysterical over stupid shit. 3.75 used to be a far more dominant scale but that didn't stop 6", you child.

>>11592208
they should downsize all the way to 3cm tall figures.

Tron is for vehicles and world building. Of course its 3.75

>>11591965 (OP)
there are several companies doing 1/18 figures with better sculpts than anything hasbro puts out at 1/12

the issue is hasbro

>>11592011
thats not how scale or proportions work. are you retarded?

>>11592468
>Gets insulting
Look closely at the GI Joe O-ring figures. Their legs are disproportionately short. Extending the legs by a little bit fixes it

I can't wait for this new Renaissance of 3.75 support. 6" is just not as much of a fun scale to collect.

>>11591965 (OP)
It won't be the standard, just the cheaper option. You'll still have your 6" figures for $35 - $120, but if you're a child or poor you can get a 3.75 figure for $20.

>>11592022
>Its a good scale for Pokémon.

hell no. and Blokees disagrees too

>>11591965 (OP)
I'm not even sure what brands I'd want in 3.75 but what pisses me off is them not doing a crazy 10 figure expanded universe star wars haslab.
They are so full of shit.

>>11592300
They tried to push 2” figures around 10 years ago. 5poa, of course.

>>11592910
The 2.5" MASK size figure is decent enough. It allowed for large vehicles with correct proportions. Of course it only seemes to work with MASK. I can't imagine other lines in that scale.

>>11592804
The value isn't there

>>11596001
Not for the Tron stuff. But they sold the retro reissue SW figures for $12 each. Don't forget that Hasbro can sell for lower prices than smaller toy companies can due to their economies of scale. So 3.75" is a good option IF the prices are good.

>>11592208
That's funny since 3.75" used to be Hasbro's bread and butter, but then they cancelled the Marvel Universe line and basically abandoned the 3.75" Star Wars figures in favor of focusing on 6" Black Series so that they could sell everyone the same figures they already owned but in a new scale and for a higher price.

I still cant believe how fucking retarded are the 6in collectors.
They pay more for less.

>>11596340
So it's either pay more for less
vs
Pay less for worse

>>11596147
Indeed, but they've got to try anything to make up for the losses caused by their licensor fucking them with exorbitant fees AND tanking all their IPs with the consumer base.

>>11592967
Dino Riders was the same or similar scale to MASK.

They will still only make small shit and it will still cost hundreds, the age of rolling thunder and MCC are dead.
