Did 3a force Hasbro's hand in making Star Wars into 1:12 scale?
>>11733661There's only so many ways to re-sell the same characters over and over again, and diving into a different scale allowed them to make money selling new versions of the same characters already done to death in the smaller scale.
>>11733764yea but you six inch Cucks don't have vehicles
>>11733774we 3d print those now no one's paying hasbro hundreds of dollars for their cheapshit
3.75 lost it's time to get over it. Your hate boner for 1/12 is really pathetic, you never see 1/12 collectors perpetually seething about 1/18
>>11733787Post your 3d printed vehicles.
>>11733661Nah. Just the popularity of the 1/12 scale.
>>11733841>you never see 1/12 collectors perpetually seething about 1/18actually, a lot were back when Marvel Legends was killed.But since the MU line was so good, most coverted to 1:18 just fine.The fact there's so many 1:18 collectors who bitch and whine today is just a testament toward how many people still want more 1:18 stuff.
>>11733841kek 1/12 has no vehicles or play sets,. acid rain keep making vehicles for 1/18 while 1/12 is just the same five repaints
>>11734343At a decent price yeah, how less material costs the same or more than larger figures baffles my burnt out think box.6in star wars is around $25+3 in Star wars is 25+Thankfully I'm not that into Star wars, great movies but idk if I want to get buying the toys again.
>>11734604>how less material costs the same or more than larger figureswhere did you hear this? bobby vala?
>>11733661I think the sucess of 1/12 Marvel Legends forced Hasbro to make everything 1/12.
>>11734390>acid rainI don't think Darth Vader would look good in a dune buggy.
>>11733841literally all 1/12 collectors do about any toy released thats not 1/12 is say WOW I HAVE NO INTEREST IN THAT BUT I MIGHT IF IT WERE 1/12 MAYBE DONT MAKE THAT BUT INSTEAD MAKE IT IN 1/12 you braindead fucking retard. >>11733661I loved 3A's fanmade protos of the figures, they are better than anything we've gotten. The small handful of officially licensed SW crossovers they did were fine, but obviously so far removed from what SW is that they don't even count. I remember he gave away the fett to some random guy, lucky bastard.
>>11735693Literally me. If it doesnt go with my Figurearts Goku I dont want it.
>>11733661>spent the better part of a year and ruined my life having an autistic melt down over the industry shift from 1:18 to 1:12Over 10 years later i just dont really care anymore. 6 inch fags are simply more common now then 3.75 chads, also as others have stated companies can charge more and because of changes in chink world its become practically the same cost to produce a 6 inch figure as a 3.75 figure. Its fucking gay but it is what it is. I dont really care anymore there is SO much worse going on then the fact that the toy industry is lame now. Most of the toys i buy now anyways are unironic kids toys and now "collector grade" fluff
>>11734604Partscount is the main factor in how much a mould costs to produce. A 1/12 and 1/18 figure will have similar production costs. It's one of the big reasons why 1/18 isn't so common these days, it's not financially viable to make anymore; consumers expect a 1/18 figure to cost substantially less than a 1/12 figure even though the manufacture expense is very similar, so you have to sell far more 1/18 to break even on a mould.Also 1/12 is just more popular by virtue of generally being better on an individual figure basis.
>>11735962>>11736228>1/18 and 1/12 cost the same to makesays who
>>11736236The toy industry, apparently. If you make a 4" figure and then make a 6" version of the same figure with the same or similar partscount, it's not going to cost much more to make the 6" version, especially if they use the same size of mould "block" (which they likely will for ease of swapping moulds in and out of injection machines). The process of tooling the mould for lots of small parts is more complicated, and more expensive, than fewer large parts, hence why a lot of kids' toys are cheap, huge and not made of many components. Obviously, if people are willing to pay more for something that costs the same to make as something they'll pay less for, you make more of the thing they pay more for. Basic economics.
