I still think that the upgrade in size is to differentiate between GI Joe from two other toylines out there; Star Wars and BBI. And there are apparently Marvel and Wrestling figure that will also go 1/18. So to make GI Joe different, up the size. And the sculptors are notorious for saying that the bigger the figure, the more detailing they can do.

I personally don't mind the larger scale. I prefer it only in that I don't mix the different eras. But uh, yeah, where were we???
