>>11156192You have no idea what has been said at all, do you? You're just making contrarian noises.
All I've been saying is that 1/12 scale has been left out, ignored or unwanted by consumers. There's never been much of a market for it, despite a large market existing for 40-50 years, because consumers have wanted vehicles for other scales.
And by what consumers "want", i mean enough that retailer and toy companies are going to make money off of it. Retailers carry who carry this stuff are ordering a hundred thousand units MINIMUM, like the USS Flag and whatever 21st Century produced. Mass market sales.
No doubt, stuff like 5' He Man, 3.75" GI Joes, 4.5" Halo, 5' XMen, 4.5" TMNT etc, were all getting a million orders per for the most popular vehicles in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s.
Check out how Mattel sold ANOTHER 1/6 Warthog, because the first one sold well enough. This was when Hasbro killed off most of their 1/18 lines, so Hasbro had next to zero vehicles out there for their action figures. Only Star Wars stuff were getting vehicles, but we all know how poorly the SW line was doing during this time (for ignorant zoomers: the sequel movie toylines were getting1/10th of what the prequels had). During this time, 1/12 was basically the defacto scale, hence Mattel making their main Halo line (almost) 1/12 scale. One vehicle was made for the (not quite) 1/12 line, btw... vs two for their 1/6 line.
I should also note that this was when Halo was more popular too, yet Mattel seemingly struggled and killed their Halo line faster than Jazwares did (who released way more action figures (in two scales) and vehicles (for 1/18)).
