DO IT, MATTEL. Focus your efforts on keepnig the main lines detailed. I don't need anything other than Basic & Elite. I don't want to hear or read about "budget issues" as to why they feel the need to ruin the Elite line with rubber shirts...then going out and saying we want to develop a new line of figures. You really don't understand how money works, do you? A separate line would have its own budget and would be bringing in its own revenue. It would have no impact on what Elite shirts are made from. Elite series budgets reflect past and projected Elite series revenue, not Flexforce revenue, not Basic revenue, not Rumblers revenue etc etc. But wouldn't it be better if the Flex Force & Rumblers didn't have their own budget, especially for 2 lines that clog up the shelves compared to the better stuff anyways, so, in essence, taking away Flex Force & Rumblers budgets & putting them into existing lines that we actually care about rather than another new line would be better right. Even if each line has it's own budget, then that's at least 2 lines of budget money wasted that could be used better elsewhere.

I would be interested in a style similar to jakks build n brawl. Or a bigger rumbler. I have no interest in a smaller basic style figure.

This is the bane of having a hobby that is mostly shared by children. Think about it for a second, kids. If Mattel is spending [BUDGET OF FLEX FORCE + BUDGET OF RUMBLER + BUDGET OF ELITE] just on elite, the price of an elite figure would almost double, because they would then have to recoup the total of all three budgets from the one line. If the elite budget increases, so does the elite retail price. I'm amazed that there are people on here can't understand that very simple, very factual point. They're not going to spend the budget for $30 worth of figures on one $16 figure. Why would they?

I personally wouldn't invest in that line of figures.

Yeah, I mean it not the worst idea ever. But I'd rather have figures like GI Joe & Star Wars come in six inch lines. 3 3/4 inch scale is just not my style anymore. But then I think more lines the better. So I guess I'm no help at all. Sorry.

Save the money that would be used to produce these and pump that cash into the current lines, instead.
Mattel, listen. You have already brought people BACK into collecting, with the INCREDIBLE job you've done with both the Elite and Legends series. No need to aim even more lines towards children. Unless the money used for Flex Force is then put into a new scale, then it'd be worth it.
Elites are where the money is, unless the numbers show otherwise.

Absolutely not interested in the least in a 3 3/4" line. The only newer scale stuff I'd like to see is a line that would include the Beth Phoenix display piece we saw at Comic Con last year.

NO. - Mattel are notorious for putting out terrible figures in the 3 3/4" scale. - Most fans already have built up/will have built up sizeable rosters by the time these are released. Would buyers really want to turn to a whole new scale? doubtful.
If they want to branch out a new line, I say bring out something along the lines of that Orton/Punk static figure. High detail, minimal articulation, collector orientated.

i would buy the better of the 3 3/4 scale figures if they made them only because im a gi joe collector as well....i wouldnt buy all of them, just the best guys i like...but honestly mattel should just focus on making more basics legends and elites id rather not have them worry about ANOTHER line...rumblers is bad enough

I wouldn't mind a 3 3/4" or micro line, personally. As much as I love the main line, Mattel's been lacking in terms of playsets, and this would be a nice way to get some good ones out there. Plus, I think it says very good things about how well they're doing with the license, that they're willing to introduce yet another line. Can't wait to see what they come up with.

I'd be for it if it replaced flex force, but I don't really care that much.
I mostly just collect legends, rumbles and some elites. I'm happy other lines do well, but when my money is limited, I have to be picky.
