Ok got several responses. I will try to list them here. Please let me know if some of these lines have websites or if I got their full name wrong, as some toylines carries more than one sort of scale.

look for the scale if they have it...1:18 is what Joe generally is.

Forces of Valor, Blue Box International, Power Team Elite is the stuff that I have the most of. Stay away from 1:numbers bigger than 20, as the stuff will get smaller as the second number gets bigger.

Thanks for replying I put your answers up in the first post if new members will search for this question. 1:18 is a good number is that in inch? and why is gi joe figures called 3 3/4?

Ages of Action will be when it come out.

http://www.unimax.com.hk/product_in...d=C41&type=toys

3 3/4" (inch) is the classic 80's Joe scale, pioneered in the 70's by Fisher Price's Adventure People, then popularized by Kenner's Star Wars...

1:18 is modelling terminology, 1/18th of life size (right?). It's used by people who think collecting toys should be considered a serious hobby.

While more or less compatible, 3 3/4" doesn't necessary equal 1:18. As comparing 25th line and vintage Real American Hero shows.

So 3 3/4 is not the inch version of the metric 1:18?
Is Bravo team in scale with GI Joe?

Yep bravo team is 1:18 and they have some cool accessories and vehicles too
