Would you buy a POC-esque 6 inch line? With the detail and sculpt power of POC but on a larger scale with appropriate articulation and approach for a 6" line?

There's something to be said about having a more 'statuesque'/display line on a larger scale.

If you asked me this five or six years ago at the peak of Marvel Legends, I would have jumped all over it. Nowadays though, I'm just not a fan of 6" figures. They are way too expensive for what you get.

not only the price, but the storage of 6" figures is greater than than of the smaller 3-3/4" scale. when Legends came out, i wished i wasn't collecting Joes, Transformers, and Star Wars because i thought they were great. but once the 3-3/4" super heroes started coming out and they still had the great articulation as the Legends. the Legends became a thing of the past to me. so no. i would not buy a 6" Joe line.

Also, I feel like the 6" scale works better for superheros because there aren't many characters you would ever want to army build. Past Hydra, AIM, and Shield guys, I didn't really ever want army builders in the ML line.

Joes on the other hand, are all about army building to me. I love looking at my shelves and shelves of blueshirts and Vipers. Army building just wouldn't be reasonable with 6" figures.

No for me. I am a fan of the 4" ish line, that for me is adventure. The figures are small enough so that collecting them and vehicles are not too much of an issue but large enough to get the articulation and character that seems to be missing in lines that are smaller. I did get a couple of Sigma 6 large figures as I really like that line but only a couple as they were so huge and I really enjoyed the vehicles for the 2" line but the figures were a disappointment to me and I hate that they are incompatible with my other Joes.

Yes. I was/ am a fan of Marvel Legends and I wish I still had em. As long as the detail was spot on I am game.

No. I'll dabble in other Joe scales, but I won't do full-in support of any scale other than 3.75"/4" 1:18.

Very doubtful. I'm already hesitant to buy 3 3/4" Joes at the current $7-$8 price range, I'm sure the (probable) $15 price range for a 6" figure would turn me off for collecting any more than one or two figures (and even with those I'd probably wait till I find them cheaper somewhere else)
