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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

With hiya toys pushing out even more 3.75” figures I don’t think it’s going anywhere

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 KZread. 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.

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 😩😩

3.75" are the best. Because they take up less space!
