No, 3 3/4" just wasn't a break-out super hit. I've heard that VvsV did decent business. Hasbro wanted major business and something that Wal-Mart, the bully of retail, would go for. Hence Sigma Six, which originally was the replacement for 12" Joes, became the "it" brand that Hasbro focused all significant Gi JOE funding on.

But that's what I heard. I'm not a market analyst industry expert, and I'm bit tired of every other fan acting like an arm chair economics and marketing expert.
