I used to follow 1/35, but now I prefer 1/24 to 1/16. I just find 1/35, even with 3D scanning and sculpting, to be too small to see any of the details, and as I get older, I don't have the patience to fiddle with such small 1/35 parts that are hard to glue and paint. I mean it, when it comes to figures, sometimes size really does matter and the larger it is, the more impressive it is.
What I think is needed are more accessory sets, guns and gear, for 1/24 to 1/16th scale figures. Decades later and there still aren't any 1/20 or 1/16 Sci-Fi gear and weapons sets, which really hinders kitbashing and customization. Sure, there's Shapeways and one can commission someone to make these things now with 3D software and 3D printing, but still, nothing really beats resin offerings.
