i agree that the figures fall closer to the 28mm scale. however, i always post them as 25/28mm because somewhere in the mid 80's, the wargaming sculptors cheated a little and started sculpting their 25mm scale figures a little larger for detail purposes. they actually weren't quite large enough for true 28mm scale items, so the tag 25mm stuck with them. occasionally you will find a figures labeled 25/28mm, but they are mostly labeled as 25mm.
i personally figure that going with 25mm is simply easier because it roughly turns out to be 5mm =1 foot. mf is probably in the in between range of scale, but 5mm=1 foot is easier to measure than 5.6mm=1 foot, imo.
