Also, the fact that G.I. Joe, Transformers, Inhumanoids and JEM all exist in the same universe will never cease to amuse me.
>>10655093>>10655095>>10655118>>10655143As someone who used to have the glorious ability to spread my Joe collection as far and wide across my living room floor as I desired, I kind of agree with you on 1:18 being great for large scale play. However, I completely disagree that 1:12 can not achieve their own kind of charming displays and entertainment. A focused, close up display of 1:12 figures can look really nice and tell a much more intimate story compared to smaller 1:18 figures.
But "taking up less space" is not an advantage of 1:18 figures, especially once vehicles and buildings get involved. I have a huge pile of boxed up toys in my basement right now, and all the biggest boxes are 1:18 accessories, without which the smaller figures just aren't as fun. But in the end of the day, scale wars are lame and not worth arguing about, both scales have their pros and cons and they each make for really fun toys.
