I love 3 3/4 scale that IMO is the ultimate figure scale 6 in kinda blows I mean its good for display and all but have mass collection of 6 or 7 in scale is kinda too much plus no play sets and such is big pain in the ass.
Can you imagine the playsets you could have if the wwe figures were gi joe size? hell you could even have austin in a monster truck! thats right boyz a MONSTER TRUCK FTW!!! but bottom line Mattel sucks at that scale!! no really they do. SO unless its Hasbro the KING of 3 3/4 I would be out

what's the hate for a potential new scale? If Mattel said "alright, we're discontinuing everything and forcing you to buy our new line" then I could see the uproar, but it's a separate line. And honestly, I would be interested in a slightly smaller scale.
Call me old school (I'm 25) but I like my figures to be no more than 5 inches like they were in the 90s. They were tons easier to play with, too. Current toys, not just wrestling figs, are big for no reason. I have huge hands and I still dislike the scale on modern figures. Yeah, Build N Brawl sucked, but they were too small. I understand they were going for the GI Joe or Star Wars size, but if they were slightly bigger I would have bought more than 3. There's a sweet spot to toy size -- dunno the scale on old ninja turtles or batman figs, but yo, those were awesome lol.
There are some advantages to a smaller scale beyond playability, though.
For starters, the price would most likely be lower. I could see 5" Elites being the same price as the current scale basics. Smaller figs mean a smaller elite scale ring which would mean a cheaper price in a perfect world. Maybe I'd be able to find it in stores without having to go online.
The current scale is perfect for display, and the elites are good for display and some play, but I still wish they were smaller. Just slightly. If you combined the size of 90s figures with the articulation of today's, do you know how much easier it would be to work a match that looked fluid with your own two hands? Just sayin'...
I wouldn't want anything bigger.

I'm pleased with the currently scale that mattel have release. Mattel have done a good job on the Elite And Basic figures. What i don't wish see is that they keep repeating the same character, hope thet can made someone that jakks have never made or release before like randy savage, nailz, owen hart etc.

New scale? 12 inch figure of Cena or Rey? Ummm, no thanks.. Even though I collect 12 inch figures, when it comes to WWE toys, I prefer them to be small.. The current scale is just perfect....

I was giving this some more thought, I personally would love a 4inch scale WWE line but I feel that they would need to give collectors a reason to buy figures these new figures and just having scaled down versions of what they already own might not be too enticing, however if they had thier own style much like the rumblers do then there might be something more to consider. I was thinking of something that would be between the Current realistic figures and the cartoony rumbler series and the designs are already out there.
Make the new 4inch line designs based on WWE ALLSTARS!
It would give the figures a more epic comic book feel and might give a reason for current collectors to pick up this new line.
Also you'd have an excuse to have some legend figures out there too!
Just a thought I wanted to throw out there.

The comic book style as you put it would give it its own unique feel and possibly spark some interest into the new line... I would def pick them up if they were in this style

I dont think they should waste time and money on another scale.
Just stay with the 6 inch (Elites, Basic, and Flex Force) and keep doing the Rumblers.
I dont want to buy another scale.
All the characters I buy in the Rumbler and 6 inch scales are the same people.
But they are so drastically different in look and size, they are worth getting both.
If they added a 3rd scale, it would feel really pointless. How many scales do you need each curent WWE Superstar in.
I dont want 3 3/4 inch figures. and I REALLY dont want 10-12 inch figures or bigger.
6 inch and Rumblers are good enough.
Dont make something else that may hurt the WWE mattel line and cause cuts on the already amazing Elites, Basics, and Rumblers.
I will say this. The idea of making a 3 3/4 inch scale, and basing it only on the look of WWE All Stars is a great idea.
Kids would love it, it would help sell the game, and help push for a sequel.
I probably wouldnt buy them, but its still a good idea.

I hopethat match can make a scale that match the old Jakks figures, so that collectors can displayed both jakks & mattel figures togather.

Mattel already has way too many lines to keep up with the way it is....Basic, Elite, Flexforce, and Rumblers is enough.
