Figure Sizes - What do you prefer?

[gort]

Ok, Poll time, what size figures do you prefer?

Not exactly a concise list but it's the best I could come up with off the top of my head (don't let my examples put you off).

Personally I don't differentiate to much, if I like it I will buy it, but I've always been drawn to 3 3/4" figures as a preference.

How about you?

I would go with either 6" or 8", they just have more of a presence when set up on display. Not to big, not to small.

[plastichero]

I guess I'm just a 3 3/4" guy at heart, probably since Star Wars & GI Joe were my primary figures as a kid... Plus it allows for all those great vehicles to be made for them.

[aeutlutian]

I actually like the size Visionaries and some Dungeons and dragons figures just a little bit bigger than a 3 3/4 but big enough done right you can get amazing detail and articulation, and still small enough to have good vehicles ,

Masters of the Universe size is pretty cool in my book. I voted for it, but I too love 3 3/4 like Crystar and vintage Star Wars.

For the newer figuire I don't collect much, but these chunky McFarlane / Neca 18in movie figure sure sit well on a DVD library!

[drekkus]

I like both motu and gi joe 3 3/4 size, but mainly collect motu sized figures so voted for these.

I prefer the 3.75 inch figures because the ones I had as a kid were mainly that size: Micronauts, Metal Man, Star Wars, etc. But I did have some of the Mego 8 inch Super Heroes with a 12" GI Joe or two thrown in for flavor!

im inbetween i like and currently collect the 6-8" figs but i find that the 3 &3/4" figs are nicer to play with because there is so many of them ...
gijoe
a-team
space precint
starwars
N-name figures (dollor store and such)
jurassic park 3
mork & mindy
battlestar galactica
starttrek the motion picture (& sttng from galoob 89)
...just to name a few

all though some of my fave figures are the Jurrasic park movie 1 & 2 size 5" line

well i cant decide...i guess i just collect what i think is cool & luckly my tastes rotate so i dont collect each at the same time...or i would be broker than i am

i seem to prefer the 8 inch scale, or there abouts, i dont know why they just sit in your hand nicely, and i love the cloth costume type of toy.

[shaxper]

I definitely like 3.75 to 5.5 inches. I care more about playset and vehicle compatibility than level of detail and sophistication. Most of the best playsets and vehicles ever made were produced for those two size scales.

[bayushigemma]

I would say 3 3/4 cause of the fun I had when I was a kid with the Joes and other 3 3/4 figures.

My fav. would have to be the Super Powers size standard that was used for the 89 toybiz and the 91-95 kenner lines. They all fit into the vehicles and kinda match up with the sizes of the Joes.

[Captainamerica]

Can't pick just one...

3 3/4 figs are great if you want an army, or a variety of vehicles and playsets, but as a standalone figure, 6-7" wins for sculpts and 'shelf presence'.

 3 3/4 PERFECT SIZE

[spockoda]

Had to go with 3 3/4" scale. I grew up in the Star Wars/Star Trek/G.I. Joe/Comic Action Heroes era plus this scale is overall more conducive to playsets, vehicles, etc. This scale represents a large percentage of my collection.

[homeschoolman]

3.75" and 5.5" for me. every time I have mego 8", or say star wars 12", I end up putting them in storage or selling them. I have probably 100 3.75" figures displayed in my bar area, and on my main display shelves 250 motu sized figs. so I voted for 5.5" bulky sized figures.

[figuremod73]

I love the MOTU size figures because it was what I collected as a kid and the 3 3/4 size because it was fun to have vehicles with joes.

I voted for the 8 inch size though, I just like the look and feel of Mego size figures.

[3 3/4"collector]

for me its not preferring one size it is only dealing with one size period. the other stuff might as well not exist.

[jughead]

I like 3 3/4", lots of great figures in that format and they don't take up too much space.
