This may have already been talked about on here but do you think Mattel would ever do 12 inch scale articulated figures much like Marvel Icons? I don't think it would be popular unless you had just a series or two of current roster/legends. I know its been done in the past like the old 12 inch WCW Goldberg but it's really a peice of crap. I collect a few McFarlane NFL figures and have the one 12 inch Adrian Peterson they made just as a cool addition to the 6 inch set.

I would get rid of all my current figs and switch to that format if they did it.

I hope and do not think that they will. These will be too big, too bulky and too expensive, so they won't sell at all!

I was just curious, I would probably pick up a few if they did a small wave and that was it. I really like having my Marvel Icons and Legends together and the same goes for my Giant TMNT figs.

It would be pretty sweet if they did 12" 1/6 Scale figures. I have all the Jakks Federation Fighters/Ringside Rebels ;D

I remember when Jakks made Maximum Aggression figures and I don't remember those selling too well. They also did those styleized figures and I saw no point to those either but then again I am biased and I already invested too much into my Elite Collection.
I wouldn't mind if they made 12 figures that were similar to Hot Toys, but even at that they would be nothing more than pics for me to admire because that is what I do with Hot Toys figures now. If I could afford them I would own a few already.

I too am a fan of the 12" scale, and would definitely buy a few if they weren't more than $30 a pop.

They would probably look great but could you imagine how expensive they would be especially since they're basic and elite lines are already overpriced.

Mattel did release some 12" DC figures with no cloth items and limited articulation. The sculpts looked decent but the lack of articulation put me off. I doubt they would generate enough sales to please Mattel.

Mattel wouldn't do it. They'd probably sell at about $30 each.
