Thread: Preferred 3.75" Action Figure Design

    Preferred 3.75" Action Figure Design

    For those of you who are a fan of this scale, I'm curious to know which 3.75" action figure design is most popular with my fellow Mego Museum members, Kenner vintage Star Wars or Hasbro vintage G.I. Joe? And by "design" I'm referring specifically to the articulation.

    it allows for better sculpts too.

    80s RAH GI JOE.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    80's GI Joe....
    Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

    It really depends on the application to me.
    If someone was going for a serious 70s vibe, I would like the 5 cut-joint look and would not be concerned about extreme character likeness.

    I also enjoy the micronaut/black hole/etc. design that the 80s Joes utilized. If used correctly, these can have a good amount of character likeness and hold a few more poses than the 5cut body. Again, I would probably not choose that for a 60s or 70s franchise, tho.

    What I really like to see is nice cloth good accessories, even at that scale.

    This is exactly how I feel except I think cloth accessories would be very difficult to do at that scale. Even with the more modern figures the soft goods pieces tend to look oversized. The Star Wars VOTC by Hasbro is a good example of this.
