FAQ:
1- Where do you get your figures?
Everywhere. Literally everywhere. Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Antique Malls, Thrift Stores, Flea Markets, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Online Forums, Friends, etc. This video details the answer. • FAQ- Where Do I Find/B...
2- Can you review __? Can you make a ___ video?
I do appreciate requests, suggestions, and video ideas, however, I get so many that it's impossible for me to keep track of them. It's okay to ask, but I may not be able to get around to it.
3- Can I have ___?
I do not and will not sell or give parts of my collection to those who simply ask for something in the comments of one of my videos.
4- Can you check out my channel?
Sure. I tend to check out people's channels if they're active on the channel, or seem like they may be interesting. However, I'm very picky on what I subscribe to, and I just don't watch every kind of video just because someone asked me to. Same goes for shout-outs, I cannot fairly shout-out somebody for no reason other than they asked, it would be unfair to anyone else who were to ask and I would be unable to do so. A shoutout from me will not gain you much viewership or subscribers.

The amount of vehicles, army-builders, and scenery pieces coming out of Jazwares' Halo line really remind me of how Hasbro handled Star Wars back in the day and I'm glad at least one mass-market company still seems to realize the importance of world building in the 3.75" scale.
Im buying so much Halo shit not just because I love Halo but because I can use it with my other figures
@@SoalRaptor Halo vs Star Wars comes to mind
That's actually brilliant! Mind tossing a link to the best world building pieces you've picked up? I've only been a Halo fan since like last Christmas and don't know much about collecting them yet.
@@truesonsofmandalore Look up the UNSC Checkpoint set. You get a load of bases, a few of weapon crates, a couple of fusion coils, more or less the whole Infinite UNSC weapon loadout, a couple of figures, and a drop shield. Best part is that all of these only costs $30, so all of the extras are really only $10 excluding the prices of the figures.
Also not Jazwares, but I recently got the JoyToy armor set for $40 and it really has a Halo 3 Crow's Nest feel to it, so it works really well with Jazwares' stuff.
@@NoahR_ wow bro that's lit as heck, I'll have to try and snag a set for photos! Thanks so much! Happy Thanksgiving (if ur in America too that is lol)
Personally I prefer 3.75 inch overall. I grew up with it and have fond childhood memories of it. Don't care about 6 inch stuff. Plus it's a bit pricey, Definitely in my country.
I feel they're more affordable and take up less space in my opinion and they need to keep going
Honestly, thats the best reason to buy
3.75 is based
No. It will live forever! And by forever I mean whenever there’s another oil crisis and 6 inch goes out of style and 3.75 inch take over once again like the 70s
We having another oil crisis, so hasbro will again be force to 3.75 inch.
@@TheUnboxer073 yes! 3.75 inch lives on!
@@NotAKoenigsegg i can't wait 3.75 marvel legends.
Fingers crossed!
And early 2008 but yeah
I've collected 3.75 all my life as a kid and recently got back into the hobby last summer. I'll never really get into 6 inch because collecting two different lines just doesn't fall in line financially and doesn't really go into my collecting habits at all.
Yeah McFarland having the DC line in 7-in throws it off with the Marvel Legends figures. The 3.75 in figures and 4-in figures size up very well plus they come with vehicles and such.
3.75 inch is the perfect scale for world-building. You can have ships that figures actually fit in and headquarters that don't take up your whole living room and not bankrupt yourself in the process. My friend and I used to have massive battles with hundreds of figures and these just couldn't be done cost-effectively on a six-inch scale. You need to look at figures through the eyes of a kid and what they can afford and store. I look at kids buying the 3.75 inch Final Faction figures from Dollar Tree and swapping heads on them and repainting them and actually playing with them. A friend of mine who is a teacher said kids actually bring them to school and play in the sand box with them. You just can't see a kid bringing a $15 Star Wars Vintage Collection figure and doing that for fear of losing it. Six inch is good for some but I miss well articulated Marvel Universe figures and would gladly get them over the Legends figures. My biggest gripe is Hasbro making only certain figures (like the Bad Batch) in 6 inch and snubbing the 3.75 market.
I hope 3.75 never goes away.
I will forever mourn the ending of Marvel Universe. I'm able to fill some holes with the new Retro figures, but it's just not the same as a good MU. As someone with more limited space, those figures are still really great to fill out a big old shelf with. If any 3.75 inch line were to come back, I'd want that one.
I'm just pissed that we never got classic Scorpion or Carnage
it was intentionally killed off because they didn't like it, not because it wasn't selling. I'm in the same boat with limited space. It was pure spite that killed it.
Same here it hurts these days
@@qwerty5684 they made a more classic carnage in a set with hob goblin, scorpion, and spiderman. Its apart of the tasm 1 line, and they are all translucent to an extent
@@Reaper0899 Yeah, translucent, and we never got a regular Scorpion
3.75" figure collecting is always an interesting topic to discuss. I honestly love both scales and really don't know why 3.75" doesn't do as good. Surely they still care somewhat about the 3.75" line, the new Star Wars figures that are all new molds have been IMO the best quality/engineered 3.75" figures they've ever done. And every time I go to walmart or whatever the pegs are almost never full of these, so they must be selling? I don't know.
11:34 - 11:41 Mattel is now making 3.75 inch line for Jurassic World. They’re also now working on a new 3.75 inch Jurassic World line called the Hammond collection and it looks absolutely amazing.
As per usual J4, I think you're pretty on point. That's not exactly how I collect 3.75" scale figures, but if I could afford it, I probably would. The scale is perfect for collecting in massive quantities or to have a nice small collection of figures you enjoy and they can interact with vehicles or dioramas without taking up your whole shelf. I just collect in mass the ones that speak to me, and that's the clones. Any clone trooper is welcome in my collection in any condition. They each tell a story and they take me back to the bright eyed kid seeing clone wars for the first time and becoming enamoured with the heroic soldiers who would give anything to do what's right. They characters represent the kind of man I wanted to grow up and be, and I think to some extent it worked, they played a huge influence on my personality because the show lasted into my adulthood. I collect because they have a special place in my heart and I have my whole army in that scale. I love tbs but if I had my choice, 1/18th just fits with what I've spent the better part of 20 years building. Seeing it kinda get phased out slowly and sidelined has been very sad, especially when there's so many distribution problems and tracking down new figures takes so long and getting old ones costs a fortune unless you buy lots in bulk.
Personally i don't see the appeal of 6" Star Wars figures. 6" doesn't have that many figures, you can't really compare it to 3.75" figures. There are figures that are kinda "out of place", like Commander Gree, who do you display Gree with? 6" doesn't have 41st clone, EP3 Yoda or Luminara. It's missing essential figures too. Also i find Black Series to be more expesnsive and rarer than 3.75", it's just harder to collect imo
I only started collecting 4 years ago, and when I started I bought 1 black series stormtrooper and 1 legacy collection stormtrooper, later I ended up just putting the 6 inch in my shelf and I started using my 3.75 inch more, I know im a little old to play with toys but with this guy I can take him anywhere, he isnt the most articulated but he's just fun, later on the years I have 30 legacy collection stormtroopers, 5 vintage collection stormtroopers, and 50 power of the force stormtroopers... now that's alot of money, but when I look at my army and see how much joy they bring to me, I say "it's more than worth it"... to this day I still agree with my word and that 6 inch stormtrooper has been the only 6 inch stormtrooper I've ever had and probably ever will
This is a conversation I’m really looking forward to!
3.75" are the best. Because they take up less space!
That’s why I got into them!
With hiya toys pushing out even more 3.75” figures I don’t think it’s going anywhere
Yeah their Robocop is great
Love all the Alien and Predators they’ve been doing
I respect 3.75 figure a ton, it's what all my friends had growing up. As a kid I focused on Transformers and Legos, so I really didn't have much experience with other action figures. But never did I think when interacting with my friends toys did I think they were small and dumb. 3.75 was just the toys that made my friends happy and that's how I view it now. 3.75 is just another thing that brings other people joy, and I'm glad it exists.
Mattel's Jurassic World and jazwares Halo figures are mainly successful in 3.75" scale, so I think it's up to the manufacturers to make the most of them.
I don't think TVC's recent releases of the original trilogy have been very appealing, as they've only been able to produce modest characters.
I think there are too many good talents in TBS.
TVC>TBS
True
amen
Back on the 60's 12" GI joes where the dominant scale, later for most part of the 70's mego 8", then on the 80's Kenner star wars and Hasbro GI Joe dominated the action figure market with their 3 3/4" figures. They where popular because they where affordable had vehicles. Now days with prices of collectible 6" and 7" figures rising, driving kids and collectors out of the market, companies will have to go back to that 3 3/4" formula.
All my figures are 3.75 and I wanted the bad batch in 3.75 but they just wont release them 😩😩
I used to collect 3.75 figurrs up until they started doing 5 POA figs. I completely fell off after that, even though the vintage collection is still great, once I switched to black series I just couldn't go back. I still sometimes buy 3.75 figures (mainly ones based on TCW or the prequels) but they're just too uncommon to find in stores to justify collecting them anymore.
I wish I knew why the focus was being taken off of 3.75” in the Star Wars realm. I get that it’s more geared towards collectors (as most toys are now), but the world building elements cannot be replicated in other scales. This is why I’m leaning into the World of Halo line with my collection and reviews here on UA-cam. They are doing 3.75” right! It’s just unfortunate that if someone isn’t a halo fan, they won’t have an equal line for their fandom.
Mattel still makes 3.75 Hammond Collection for the same reason as Star Wars, so the characters can interact with vehicles like the JP Jeep, the Ford Explorer, and Owen's motorcycle so that they can make dinosaurs more affordably while still scaling nicely with the human figures. (that's part of why the 6 inch Amber Collection line died off)
My children love 3.75 inch action figures and they are still very young, so for a decade I will be buying only that scale.
Hope not. Love the 3.75 scale over anything
6 inch is just caracter, nothing else. I miss worldbuilding with vehicules and playsets that are douable in 4 inch. It's so sad to see only 6 inch in stores.
I don't think it's about profit margins. One of the reasons why Hasbro pushed everyone into collecting 1/18th Marvel stuff when they got the Legends license was because, supposedly, of rising Oil Prices. That's still an issue today. the R&D on a lot of figures is not very high esp. when they re-use so many parts. I remember too at the time the SiC Kiwami Tamashi(super detailed Kamen Rider figures) had figures in this scale for not that much more that had incredible detail and paint apps. I'm not sure why the 1/18th figures ended up costing as much as they did. The 6 inchers are also way more expensive than when i was collecting the Toybiz stuff.
The 4 inch figures not only use *far* less plastic, but also cost *far* less to ship about. The reason people moved away from it was largely due to Hasbro moving away with it and setting the trend with the Marvel Legends and now Star Wars stuff. Maybe there are other issues, but for the most part it is simply because the people in charge aren't interested in this scale. There's been a lot of stuff behind the scenes with Hasbro specifically that strongly suggests this.
Like you said if they weren't selling they'd be done already. I honestly suspect it's purely preference & spite on behalf of those in charge.
I think the era of 3.75 dominating the toy scale is over. I think it will always hold a majority, just not as big. 6inch scale, 5inch, 7inch all have proven to sell. I don’t think they’ll go away. Just like the 1/6 scale hasn’t gone away either.
I prefer 3.75-4". Less space, better size for playsets and vehicles. And yes, cheaper.
One example is the Razor Crest Haslab, it was funded by 28,000. The 6 inch Black Series Rancor Haslab failed.
If a line just needs basic figures then 1/12 , 1/10 and 1/6 work perfectly. But if you want vehicles, bases or possibly giant mounts like dinosaurs to ride then 1/24 and 1/18 are perfect. I’m currently creating Dino-Rider custom figures and 1/18 is the bees knees to get all the Dino’s, characters and gear to scale correctly
I really hope they don't put gi joe retro on hold. It has so much potential and I could care less about o-ring figures. Sure they're nostalgic for some but they over all quality difference in the modern figures is huge. Plus they're overpricing O-ring. It makes no sense. Imo I think retro is better than classified. There is a huge cost difference and the details still look great. I say hasbro needs to step up their game.
Personally, I think both 3.75" and 6" can and should coexist, since they both serve their own unique purposes and are both good in their own ways. 3.75" is more collectible, accessible and portable, whereas 6" is more premium feeling and usually more posable.
Also, big characters like sentinels are easier to make if they're intended to be to scale with 3.75" figures, since they can just be 6" or maybe smaller depending on the character, whereas with 6", they'd have to be like 10" tall or whatever and would cost a lot to both make and buy, and that just kinda sucks imo.
My opinion on it is. That as a I kid I loved the 4 inch scale. But now as adult they just feel sooo tiny in my hands I don’t have the same feeling like I did as a kid. But that’s why I love the 6 inch scale cause it gives me the same feeling as I did as a kid with the 4 inch scale. If that makes any sense
I remember watching and interview with Dwight Stall when (my personal favorite toy line) Marvel Universe was was at it's end and him saying that with the level of articulation (each point of articulation is another "stop" at the assembly line) the line had, it was almost as expensive to make than a Marvel Legends but they could sell the bigger figure with a better profit margin. I would dare to say: Yes, sadly yes, eventually Hasbro 3.75 will come to an end. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.
Sure, its a great scale to collect. But why are they so damned expensive? This scale can bring in vehicles and play sets that just aren't possible with six inch figures. It would be great to be able collect G.I. Joe and Star Wars figures but not at the prices they are now.
I totally agree. Star Wars is expensive due to licensing but Hasbro owns GIJoe. No reason they should be so expensive.
I’ve always loved 3.75 I just never got into 6 inch I mean I have a few but I just think that 3.75 is better
One Reason why my Collection is 3.75
VEHICLES FOR SIX INCH FIGURES ARE MASSIVE! Its a Pain!
This is why I stick at 3.75 figures.
As a Star Wars 3.75 collector, if you were to ask this question 2 years ago, I would've said yes, they're trying to kill the line. However, since late 2019, we've seen the collector community start getting more vocal for that scale. 2020 saw an uptick in figure options for the scale, and the massive success of the HasLab Razorcrest fueled the fire even more. Hasbro has made it quite clear they hear us, so while I agree the line has been shifted over for Black Series, it's pushing its way back.
3.75 inch action figures are always awesome. I collect 3.75 inch action figures for the fun of it
I prefer the 2 inch scale. Like mega construx. If mega construct had the license to do GI Joe, ThunderCats, Star wars, marvel and DC. I think they will crush it. They absolutely crushed Masters of the universe, call of duty and Halo.
Unfortunately none of those will ever happen, Thundercats maybe, but the others, not a chance given Hasbro and Lego's ownerships of the rights to those properties. If you like figures that small though, there's the Mission Fleet line from Star Wars that may interest you!
EDIT: Mega Construx DID do Marvel figures for some time a while ago, under the Mega Bloks name however. They're more on par with their older Halo figures, but still good! They've also done Assassin's Creed, TMNT, and other properties like Terminator and Predator.
The scale works well when there are lots of vehicles and playsets (and when the toys are aimed at childeren especially). I’m sad it’s not being well supported currently, but things always change and go in cycles.
I'd say yes/no. Dying in terms of being the main scale of figures the on the pegs? Yes. Dying in terms of people losing interest? No. It's funny, because 6" inch figures were typically more of a "Collector's" scale back in the day, but now they've more or less taken over everything. Kids don't buy action figures quite the same way they used to, and it'd seem the ones that do, are mostly buying 6" inch figures because that's essentially all that's available.
That being said, there's still a niche market for the 3.75" inch scale, because there are 100% still Collectors that enjoy buying them. Especially now with this whole "retro" thing that's been going on everywhere, 3.75" inch figures kind of have a new life in some ways. So in closing, while I don't think there will ever be a time where we see dozens of figures in a smaller scale loading up the pegs; I also do not believe they'll be gone forever. With Star Wars especially, the smaller (new) figures we HAVE gotten have all been absolutely excellent, so it's now become a quality over quality kind of game. It saddens me that we're in that kind of state currently with action figures, but I also realize this is a different generation than the one we grew up in. Needless to say, kind of like Rock, 3.75" inch will never truly die.
The only thing that mattel is doing that’s 3.75 is the Jurassic world toys, they did some 3.75 and most of the Dino’s they have scale in the 1:18 scale. They almost stopped entirely with the human characters till they decided to pack them with a Dino and they seen to have success with that. They’ve also been slowly adding more characters from the first film via legacy collection, whether it’s a con exclusive or packed with other accessories. They been trying to dip into the 6” scale with amber collection but it doesn’t interest me. I find myself going more for 3.75 figures, excluding superheroes since the only good ones are the 6”.
I get both 3.75 i always open while i always keep the 6inch figures in box, neat to pose a 4inch figure in front of the 6 inch boxed figure
3.75 is where it's at if you really wanna army build & dioramas. Saves so much room that the wife & I have started buying more 3.75 or 1/18 figures but we buy like joy toy & hiya toys. Check out their figs
I started collecting 3.75 again cause the world building and honestly space too. I honestly the vehicles are awesome
The JoyToy 3.75 scale are so awesome but they're more expensive than 6inch lines like mcf and ML but they are more detailed, that's why. If they make it a 1/12 scale then it will not be affordable
Funny enough I just pre-ordered a 3 inch Spawn figure right before discovering this video
I collect both mainly 6in (and like the 1.5in of mega construx) and I think that 3.75 is still an amazing scale and I think that some people don’t have the room for 6in and all they can fit is smaller figures and plus you can have way more shelves of 3.75in then you can 6in
Lots of people start collecting with marvel legends, and then expand out to Star Wars or dc or gi joe or whatever. People start with 6 inch and get pretty comfortable with that.
3.75 is such a great scale and still the best imo. I think it probably is a scale on decline but I hope it hangs on. Cool video btw 👍
11:34 Mattel can’t even make a fucking wooden train without screwing it up. They need to get out of the children’s entertainment industry completely!
I love 3.75 inches because im a kid and love playsets and vehicles. But, Hasbro doesn't make playsets and vehicles and clone troopers for 3.75 inches because their too focused on black series, so now my only TVC figure is a hoth rebel trooper,. I know mainly care about spinmaster batman because 1. I can afford it, 2. Theirs playsets and vehicles. Keep up the good work fighting for 3.75 inches.
Since Star Wars is not just about the characters but the world as well, for me it only makes sense in 3.75".
The only 6 inch line i collect is marvel legends, because marvel universe is missing a ton of characters i want, but everything else i collect is 3.75 (unless you count transformers)
6 inch is always pricey and 3.75 vehicles already take up space but 6 inch vehicles would be impossible for me to store
Since i had ten years,i still collect 3.75 scale toys
I am a mixed collector but love 3.75 and find hunting and finding figures difficult due to retailers not distributing properly and excess mission fleet
Well aparently the 3.75 gijoe line from walmart is supposedly on hiatus.
Man. I know waaay more 3.75" collectors than 6". You must run in different circles on the interwebz.
Lol
If it is a dying scale it isn't for lack of collectors. The only people that would be killing it is Hasbro itself.
6" collectors to most of us older folks are the newbies.
Playsets and vehicles only work with 3.75"....
I just think the problem is them repainting and rereleasing the exact same stuff over and over again.
With superhero stuff The Batman stuff, The shield Flying Fortress, legion of doom, Hall of justice,
Dude fuuuuck 6 inch figures. I feel like they are too close to Barbie size so I just feel more lame collecting those. I've always been a huge fan of 3.75 inch figures. Started with Star Wars, then G.I. Joe's to everything else after that. I severely miss the Marvel universe 4 inch line. Those were amazing until the end even they got lazy and started rehashing old characters with lame new packaging. They could've brought the popularity back but they gave up instead. The MCU had so much potential to produce some amazing figures and figure packs. They could've made the whole Guardians team, Thanos and his children, army builder packs, vehicles,( I would've even bought Antmans van ffs!) Beautiful sets.and so on. The assholes at Hasbro just want money. $25 for a 6n inch?! What the honest fuck!
NO, IS NOT DYING. It can be more successful if Hasbro make new 3.75 inch figures.
i dont want the o ring figs back as i dont want those weird looking heads
Love my 1/12 collection, consisting primarily of GI Jose Classified, Marvel Legends and Valaverse, but I also like my Joy Toy, Acid Rain, Chicken Fried Toys and Boss Fight Studios 1/18 figs. I hope they both stick around.
I never touch 6”
Marvel and others they should do more of these I still have hope. with dioramas and accessories they just feel better and in a way some are cheaper
No because joytoy, and acid rain, and eagle force, hiya toys, boss fight, Fortnite,halo, the cheep brands at big lots and dollar general. And ect. We will be around you just have to go find them. Because remember retail wants a $10 and under figures. And somebody will have to fill the niche. They are low priced figures in that scale and higher ones as well. And the scale was been around late 70s to 80s so I don’t believe it really go away same as 12 inch military might be hard to found. But easier to find in a different country. By the military 12 inch figures are big in Hong Kong but not so big over here. But you got a remember to not many companies will make a vehicle in a 6 inch scale. Where a lot of them will make it for a 4 inch figures.
If you want a much better star wars, sci-fi vibes, JoyToy, Acid rain got it for you
Hey Mattel makes the Jurassic park/world 3 inch figures and those are amazing
3 3/4 figures are great! I'm glad the O-rings are coming back. The new Gijoes are too flimsy. Every collector should get what they want, with the same quality put into them.
I stopped buying 3.75 inch figures when hasbro introduced the 6 inch black series figures, and started doing 5 poa action figures instead of the articulated figures. Now I'm finding it difficult to go back to TVC from 6 inch Black Series. Especially now that I have a full wall and table full of 6 inch black series figures. However I did order the TVC Clone Wars S7 Maul, hopefully I'll be interested in the TVC series again after I get to see the quality they were allowed to put into Maul. But yeah, 5 poa wasn't for me and it pushed me to collecting the 6 inch Black Series figures.
5POA made me get back into the line lol sad to see it gone
@@qwerty5684 Glad that junk is gone.
@@bravemaraudergaming7487 why
@@qwerty5684 Hasbro started getting lazy. Most of the 5 poa clone troopers were either misprinted or didn't have accurate paint applications at all. However, the new 5 poa line seems more detailed. The one that looks like retro kenner action figures. I'm just not into collecting a line that doesn't offer any articulation for dynamic poses. I mainly collect to build dioramas and having the ability to change poses for figures is must have.
@@bravemaraudergaming7487 ah, I mainly collect for shelf presence (except transformers)
I Hope not I love this scale but it hurts not seeing 3.75 inch figures
I’m on the 3.75 side, I think that 6 inch is too bid and doesn’t fit on selfs well
You should look at joy toy! They are my favorite 3.75 action figure company now cause of how many vehicles they have available and how posable and dynamic they are
I like those spin masters DC figures they look good when you have a nice assortment of them very colorful and yeah it suits Batman because of all the vehicles he has they’re making spin masters 3.75 figures based on the new Batman movie with play sets and realistic looking vehicles it looks like an interesting evolution for that line
Yes the industry is trying to kill 3.75 and 4 inch out. But they forget what made them money. When G.I. Joe came out, that 7 inch doll wasn't selling well. G.I. joe became house hold when it was 3.75.
I'm from the future. They're still around.
90% of the Jurassic world line is 3.75 inch and Mattel has done a great job with them
Everyone should just stick to 1/144 gunpla lmao
3.75 is the fricking best I might buy 7inch venom phage or whatever but that’s cause there be in the movie comics
I would love to see a new black series 4 pack with a clone paratrooper, Galactic Marine, star corps trooper and the scout trooper
It's not that too what I've seen our community complain about the price the most :/
Spinmaster figs were so badly distributed :(
You have to remember the retro line of Star Wars and the super 7 reaction stuff is big. And the O-ring figures from what I’ve seen are going to be Internet only. And the G.I. Joe line that’s at Walmart it’s going to be on hiatus. But that marvel 3.75 scale is good for what it is. Hasbro might put everything to the mission fleet scale because they’ve been pushing that right now. And I know those have been sitting on the shelf for months but the three three-quarter Star Wars in Fortnite moves really well in my area besides the 6 inch stuff. But with the new inflation I think people might be more hesitant to put 23 into a figure unless there’s a certain character because in my area I have piles of the marvel legend Eternals figures sitting on a shelf. Same as some of the WWE figures.
Hiya Toys 3.75 Alien, Predator, Robocop, and Injustice 2 are great! They also just got the rights to Rambo I think. Definitely check them out! I especially love the Alien and Predators they’re coming out with!!
I feel when I was little I liked 3.75 figs better and like legos for diorama/ play sets. But as I grew older I got tired of like little figs and Lego minifigs and wanted actual good figs that aren’t just a part of the set. Like I started with black series and marvel legends got into SHF figs and then more recently it’s strictly Jojo figs and the other stuff is mix and match mostly legends and black series since they’re cheaper but I still get some imports of other stuff then Jojo. Like I like painting some of my figs like I painted Joseph and I love how he looks. Like there aren’t Jojo play sets in smaller scales like what would there even be as a play set? Like Joseph and Wamuu in the colosseum, jotaro vs Dio in the street. Like Jojo doesn’t lend it self very well to smaller scales
I started off collecting Marvel Universe now I moved on to 6 in because of the detail😂
I like 6" and 7" better. I love the Black series, Neca, and Mcfarlane stuff. I have quite a bit of 3 3/4" but I would not continue to collect them now.
Does army building have a limit
3 3/4 marvel died a decade ago sadly. Star wars on the other hand seems to be going pretty strong. I have the worry they will abandon it. Just like when the marvel died, I will survive if SW fails too. Just use the time to fill any gaps and jump around to other toy lines and check out what else is out there.
I disagree with a few things in this, all the figures u have above besides the batman one are super possible and can stand on there own, and i will agree in most cases they look better and have more play value and even on the collector end, more shelf space and better dioramas in alot of cases, they may not be the big thing on retail but u named a lot of companies that are going strong producing good Quality well articulated figures
Well, I love the vehicles from Joes & Star Wars, there for it's got to be 3.75". While I do still get BS & ML, I'm severely downsizing them. OT focus for BS & X-Men focus for ML. Meanwhile I'm looking to bolster the endless ranks of SW & Joe army builders, including vehicles. Sure gets pricey after awhile. I gave up on 3.75" Marvel, ML's are better & super heroes don't need vehicles. Will be using my small Marvel as fodder for kit bashes & customs for Joe & SW. Will have to try those other 3rd party 3.75" figures like Marauders, Joy Toy, Acid Rain etc. A bit pricier, well perhaps on par with after market Joes & SW at this point.
Yep, with hundreds of figures & scores of vehicles for each line, there's no way I'm abandoning 3.75" now. If Retro Joes go away, that saves me time & money from going a few different Wal-Marts every weekend. A shame, cause they looked pretty nice. Don't know about the quality, only opened one FANG, seemed fine. Although the pvc seemed very soft, the pilot's leg popped off easily from the thigh swivel while trying to situate him in the copter. I have zero interest in O-ring style. The Modern figures are far superior in every way. I picked up some of the small Halo figures too. They are great for the price! When are we going to get a Pelican & Scorpion tank already? Jeeze! Banshees too, maybe a Covenant drop ship?
Well i love what hasbro are doing with the star wars retro collection for the most part, apart from putting new figures with board games to justify the price ?
My old dog loved your video.
I think the scale is more successful now
I don’t care about any action figures really except transformers
I do transformers and video games, that’s it really
I dont believe 3.75 is going away, just phasing of the limelight. I Grew up with 3.75 but as a collector I like the blacks series scale. They dont feel like toys, I'm not bothered with army building and out gree 3.75 (aside from commissions) most kids probably dont play with action figures as much, they have their phones and other outlets of entertainment, just my 2 cents.
Unfortunately I have to go on eBay and pay through the nose for vehicles especially clone wars era vehicles to go with my 3.75 inch figures because they barely make any vehicles to go with these figures anymore they make more vehicles for the mission fleet figures these days
