All the companies are doing this now too.
We've already had Vintage Star Wars, Kenner Star Wars, Vintage Batman, Kenner Batman, that simple, 3 3/4 - 5 inch figure with 4-5 points of articulation. They've been done.
Other than cost reasons, I have no idea why they're going backwards. This style only works for those cool Re-Action Super 7 Alien figures that are a tribute to the cancelled 70s Kenner line.
The irony of this now is how Hasbro is going to focus on their 6" scale figures and dropping the 3 3/4 line that made them so popular while Mattel is embracing the 3 3/4 line and dropping their "Adult Collector" 6" lines (other than the crappy subscriptions they do).
Hasbro is still making super articulated 3 3/4 SW though, just adding a less articulated line also. The Black series is 3 3/4'' and 6''.
