No. I know I would be tempted to get a few. And I would maybe grab some at clearance. But waiting for clearance won't support a line. If they did anything new, I'd lament that it wasn't in 3 3/4". And if they did something old but better than what we have gotten in 3 3/4" I'd be sad about that too.

I think oddball sizes and items are best suited for big media years. If they did a 6" line to pull 6" figure collectors into the Joe brand, that would be cool. But as for odd Joes...I'm still hoping for Snake Fries. :)

Back in 2000-2002, yeah I probably would have bought a few. I cherry picked Marvel Legends for favorite characters and I'd probably do the same with a Joe line. Hell, I'd do wit with Sideshow if they released a character I liked besides Stalker.

Today, no. Maybe one or two, but I wouldn't go out of my way to score one. I try really hard not to acquire things out of the 3 3/4" scale. I just don't do anything with it once I get it.

notpicard does make an excellent point though. I think Hasbro could launch a subline to tie in with the next movie. Even if it doesn't take off a) it dies with the movie merchandise anyway and b) you could attract the 6" fanbase and customizers to your product. They could even upscale regular figures like that one person did for that bootleg Snake Eyes, so you aren't adding design costs, just tooling.

Nope, don't think there would be a market for them. I'm big on packaging so if the artwork/box was cool I would probably pick up a couple favorites.

In theory, no.

But I know if I saw one on a peg I'd have a hard time leaving it there.

That said, I'd much rather have more 3 3/4 options as opposed to the addition of a 6" line.

Well, being the crazy fanboy that I am, I probably would if it got released, but I'd like to say that I would stand firm and say "no".

Right now Hasbro seems to be able to get all of the detail, articulation, design, and interactiveness in a 4" scale, what would be the motive for up-scaling the line 2", especially if it was just more PoC type stuff.

If they were doing some sort of ceremonial line and wanted to do the "ultimate" versions of a small subset of characters at a 6" scale, I'd probably grab something like that, but just as an extension of what we've already got, only larger? Not interested.

I'd have to say no.

Nope. I'd find a way to pick up five or six favorites (if they made those five or six, anyway), but I'm pushed for space and funds as it is.

Interesting. I anticipated that pretty much every response would be "no." But didn't want to chime in prematurely. Itz too bad that the community can't come to an agreement on everything in such a solidified and explained manner. Heheheh.
