I personally prefer the link, but did the pics because I thought it was easier for the forum.

My son really likes them, which is kind of the target audience. 

Hasbro charges as much for their 3.75" line as Toy Biz used to charge for their 6" line. I paid 9 buck a pop for the figures from the Sentinel series in 2006. The Hulk figures from last year would cost me 27 dollars each. 

Um, no. 

Marvel Legends are dead and done and gone. I'm getting rid of the ones I have, probably making a tidy profit since they're so much better than the crap Hasbro is putting out, and I'm throwing in the towel on Marvel toys the way I've thrown in the towel on their comics. Call me in 5 years when they do something smart to get my business back.

I wouldn't place all of that on Hasbro. It seems that toys are shifting back to the 3.75" scale from the 6" scale, while increasing in price. The 6" scale is becoming more for adult collectors. And also increasing in price.

They are in the driver's seat on this. Who else controls that market? Mattel? Their 6" DC figures were in response to Marvel Legends, and their 3.75" figures are in response to Hasbro's shift to that scale. 

When you say "toys are shifting back to 3.75" scale" it's because Hasbro is the one doing the shift. They ARE TOYS. Name another brand that dominates the market like Star Wars or GIJoe or Transformers. Of course they'd take Marvel in that direction when they got the rights! I guarantee if Marvel Toys (nee Toy Biz) still had control, there would still be a 6" line almost exclusively, and there wouldn't have been the tidal shift toward 3.75"

I'm not going to collect Marvel characters again as long as Hasbro is running them into the ground.

They're terrible. I refuse to buy them.
