Would you buy a POC-esque 6" line?

In all honesty, probably not.

If I did, I'd keep them packaged...if it was pretty.

I'd have to find them exceptional, though.

I would absolutely buy this line. As long as it is planned to have a dedicated full roster that is. I would not buy it if there were only 12 or so characters produced.

See, that's a problem with any GI Joe line. What is a full roster?

Is it the whole 499 figures from the vintage line?

or is it the original 16 from 1982?

or is it a combined amount of the most popular figures? And if it's option #3, what are the most popular figures?

i'd say basically the main movie characters with the exception of Ripcord.

I don't think the cost could support a full line but if they did a limited run Hall of Fame set of two packs that would work.

SE/SS
Hawk/CC
Duke/Destro
Scarlett/Baroness
Cobra Trooper/Viper
Stalker/Frank Castle

my wallet politely says, "no."

No, I was into Sigma Six (8"), until Hasbro dropped it hard. And honestly, I see the price point of a six inch line being more than what most joe collectors want to pay ($15-30 a figure). Futhermore, has anyone army built at that scale, if so, you will quickly realize that scale is more about specific characters (See DC/MOTUC, HALO is an odd ball, and I only know one or two people who collect it) because of the space required. Expect to see little to no vehicle support, especially if Hasbro for the most part really only does large vehicles with Star Wars because that is about the only line retailers will buy large vehicles (Skystriker and Night Ravens obviously being the exception,even then). Keep in mind, yes, MOTUC recieved and will recieve ridable beast and a vehicle this year, but it is also a fan only line made buy, marketed, handled, and retailed ONLY with Mattel. Hasbro will most likely not make something like Mattycollector, that is basically what the GIJCC is. As for HALO, the Warthog is a bit of surprise and is currently warming shelves. And honestly, HALO is a much larger franchise with today's childern. If there are three things Joe collectors love, it is army building, vehicles, and playests. And if the questions at past panels are any indication, those will be among the first three (they were with Sigma Six): when/are we getting vehicles, army builders, and playsets. I'm sure some of this has been said somewhere in this. And Hasbro changes their minds and gears too much with Joe.

no as i like the 3 3/4in line i passed on the S6 line and the 12in line . my love is the 3 3/4in size so for me it would be a no. why change what works. 3 3/4in is a huge hit now with all brands.
