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???

But that's what sucks...if you mess with the size, you take away any chance to use other figures as extras....Is GI Joe gonna make cops, Construction guys or Paramedics? If not, they better keep them the same size as "The Corps". I mean if all action figures were the same size, you could have tons of fun making new customs....but this "someone else is making 3 3/4", so we'll go 4.1" is nuts! Hell, just go back to 12"! That's what GI Joe Started as!
As for detailing, BBI has done wonders with detail on their 3 3/4" figures...better than any of the Arah characters....admit it, Hasbro just needs a new cash cow!
And have you seen Wave 7? Snake eyes V4???? Already! And Duke from the Cartoon? We bringing back Cobra La? How cheesey! BTW, how many dukes is that so far? I count 3 Cobra commanders, 4 Snake eyes, and 3 dukes.....Anyone seen Grunt? just curious! Guess I have to wait until DTC wave 4 from MC comes out...or the next Con to get figures....
