Is this 6 inch fad ever going to end?
Every decade, toys had a different dominant scale. In the 70s, it was the 12 inch GI Joe dolls. In the 80s, the iconic 3.75 inch figures reigned supreme. In the 90s, 7 inch figures found their footing. But now in the 2000s, almost everyone is just doing 6 inch. Why is this fad not ending? Companies just keep using the same tired playbook of releasing a 6 inch action figure line with little to no creativity. No playsets, no vehicles, these are not for kids. I think most people can agree that 3.75 was the best scale for both vehicles and playsets, not too big, but not too small either. You want a vehicle for your 6 inch figures? You have to buy a $500 Haslab. When are these companies going to learn?
