Thanks for the quick feedback.
For some reason, I like to think of scale in terms of ratio, as in 1/64 or 1/72, etc. With the 25mm scale, which approximates the length of a figure's height to his EYES being 25mm, the figure's height is actually ~28mm tall. If our figures normal height is closer to 30-31mm then it definatly is closer to a true 28mm scale. Then again, the average players height is probably taller than 6 feet and helmets add to height, so a 25/28 scale seems right. Therefore the true MF scale that we play to today (for figures) would be closer to the 1/58 to 1/64 range instead of 1/72 (1/72 is the 5mm=1ft scale). Wolf's assessement of ~1.25" (~31.75mm) tall figures being equivalanet to a 6' tall figure is exactly the 1/58 scale. However, with the helmet adding height and the fact that the average NFL player is taller than 6', I would say the 1/64 scale may be the closest "standard" scale ratio to what we are playing with.
With the 1/64 scale ratio, a 6 foot tall player would be a1.125" tall miniature figure (72" * 1/64 = 1.125").
