Height and scale?

[Michigan Joe]

5-13 and Wolf,

I was just looking at miniature figure scale size and was wondering if our current figures fall more closely to 25mm or 28mm scale. I'm curious to your thoughts on this.

Based on the measurements of miniatures being to eye level instead of top of the head it appears that they are to the 28mm scale (28mm~6 foot). For example, lets assume the hati repro DB was 6' tall. The height of the hati repro DB is ~30.5mm (~32-1.5 platform thickness). The head length is ~5mm so the measurement to the eyes would be ~28mm (30.5-2.5).

The FF.com and 67 big men figures appear slightly taller and the little Miggle guys are slightly shorter. I guess if you bunch the population of all these figures together to get variation in height it looks like overall the 28mm scale would more appropriately fit the combination of figures that we currently use. Therefore the 28mm scale is 1/58, whereas the 25mm scale is considered 1/64.

Any thoughts? 5-13 I'm a little confused by the 25/28mm scale. What scale do you think is most appropriate to our current configuration of figures, 1/58 or 1/64?

Thanks,
Joe
