Why the Marvel Universe 4 inch line ended. Marvel Legends history examined! 

I love the 4" Marvel figures. Still finishing up my collection and wish they would release new ones.

I miss the 4 inch, only because they were affordable for a 30 year old dad, who still wanted figure, but had to downgrade his collection, do he could buy his kids the better ones. I miss Marvel Universe.

For the record, I'd much rather have swappable hands than hinged fingers. A sculpted fist never looked good opened up, and good luck getting a figure with loose hands to hold anything.

This was the greatest time for G.I. Joe fans. Long live 4 inch figures ✊🏻 😆

What do you mean by “toy biz didn’t pay its tooling bill?” I’d like to know more about that.

I wish they would start them again as 4" is my favorite scale.

The 4 inch marvel universe figures were amazing. The bright packaging with the nice art on it with quality figures and possible variants… can’t be topped.

The 4 inch figures had way more potential. And just imagine if they came out with playsets and more vehicles. I have several ideas. The retro line sucked. With the release of the 4 inch Guardians of Galaxy vol 3 figures, I hope they keep making 4 inch figures.

I am a huge 4 inch action figure fan. That is most of my collection. First time commenting! I love this channel! Finally people who speak my language!

One day, one of us will work at Hasbro and somehow get 4" back out there

The 4" Thing in blue speedo is one of the absolute BEST Thing figures ever made, also surpassing many of it's 6" big brothers.

The Real Issue with 6inch figures is that I need more space to display them 😅

4 inch is my preferred scale of action figure. From Star Wars to GI Joe, to Secret Wars to Super Powers, it's what I grew up on. I just can't get engrossed by any 6 inch line. I had a few of the Toy Biz Marvel Legends, but bleh...just not for me. It's all cyclical anyways. Mego's were 8 inch until they were overtaken by Star Wars, and now Marvel Legends have sized it up again. Eventually plastic will become so expensive some toy company will see the benefit in making smaller scale figures.

I'd like a video on what the Toybiz not paying their tooling bills was all about.

I find that abandoning their 3&3/4 inch line Marvel line was a huge mistake on the part of Hasbro, especially w/the rise of popularity in the MCU.

Man i miss this line. I have 2 daughters that used to rummage through my graphic novels a lot, so what I started doing was buying them the 4” line so they would get familiar with the characters I loved. Ended on a bad note though. I think I had purchased over 100 different characters for my girls and they loved them all and knew the names of each one. My now ex (their mom) gave away the 100+ characters out of spite for me. She didnt even care that it hurt the kids, just that it hurt my feelings to have that nerd connection with my kids. Anyway great video ❤

ToyBiz's Marvel Legends looked like a Ferrari at comic stores back them. I'm a DC fan and I was so jealous about that. Love DCUC but no base, less articulation, no accessories, not a comic... Even the package look cheap.

4" marvel figures ended because they didnt had playsets and vehicles, but 6" dont have them either

Great video, Scott! Thanks for sharing the info!
