what up with these chinese toy makers claiming their figure is 1/12 when they are 1/10
>>
>>11653118
That Templar looks sick.

>>11653118
They look in scale to me. Kratos was 7'8" in Greek era and only 6'4" in norse era as a father so there should be over a foot different in height.

Well we all know that samus isnt accurate as she's supposed to be 6'3", but goodsmile fucked up and made her 135mm instead of 160mm.
That Kratos looks good to me, and the young one should be around 195mm. How taller are they both anyway? Have you measured them?

that's more than a chinese toy thing.
also fuck all these companies for purposefully being vague about it so they can get more sales
>>
>>11653151
>>11653151
So absolutely perfect then? Ryu is 155mm, old kratos is 160 and young kratos is a good 2-3cm taller. If anything too short.

The meh-tric users think they’re so superior, yet they can’t into fractions that aren’t in increments of 10.

Why did he shrink? Did they explain that?
>>
>>11653304
Semen retention made him tall.
>>
>>11653304
I asked chat
"Why the Change?
The height reduction in the newer games made Kratos feel less overwhelmingly huge and more relatable as a father figure, fitting the more grounded, personal narrative."
>>
Kratos was never close to 8 feet tall or 9 feet tall. That's retarded. It would mean everyone even the kids were giants in Greece. Every kid was like over 6 feet. Just people talking about his proportions in the original game and not the actual heights of anything. It's so stupid people got attached to this without ever actually seeing a source too.

>>11653580
Those heights are bullshit though and you'd be hard pressed to find an actual consistent source. They range from 7'8 to over 9 feet tall and in-between as well according to people who you're not going to look for for the source anyway.

Either literally every normal person in Greece in a giant and no one ever says anything at all about it, and no one ever mentions how Kratos shrinks and his blades of Chaos are never shown to shift in size, nor is young Kratos depicted as bigger in the same cutscene, nor is Helios' head and all the enemies. Mimir and Tyr were also in Greece too and never mentioned the height changes.

Every normal mortal is around the same height and then we get into a new universe and that same standard applies to that too, but we shrunk, even though nothing depicted ever shows this great size. Redundant. Kratos was 8 feet tall but he never looked huge and it had no narrative impact, and then he actually shrunk but he's still the same size depicted against normal people like he was in the day.

If it had an actual impact in the story and they said all Greeks were giants too that'd be one thing. But even then I wouldn't want my Kratos to look wildly out of place for the first time ever in a toy display because "ahktually he's 8-10 feet tall, he just never looks it because he's always around mortals his same size or slightly bigger."

I swear people don't know what a figure being in scale is

>Freya is 182
I could've sworn she was taller than that, at least in the game she's almost the same height as Kratos.

>>11653118
>>
>>11653130
>>11653151
I remember seeing comparison pics to other lines when that Kratos came out and he was too damn small to scale with pretty much everything, import or domestic.

Chinese collectors are size queens. That's it.

There is an industry-wide scale creep occurring

No, it's just china who doesn't understand numbers, muchless scale.

1:10 used to be more popular.

There are fewer toylines today than there were 10 years ago and 20 years ago there were even more toylines.

Seems to be confined strictly to Chinese companies selling 1:10 as 1:12 though; Chinese 1:18 offerings like JoyToy, Planet Green Valley, Hiya etc are scaled properly. I can only assume the oversized 1:12 stuff is to capture the Chinese "grug like big toy" market whilst also selling to other markets where "true" 1:12 is more popular, hoping nobody notices or cares.
>>
>>11654399
>Chinese 1:18 offerings like JoyToy... are scaled properly.
Nah, they're constantly fucking that up too. Even their own toys don't scale with one another.
Shit like the WH40k line is basically non-scale.

I don't have the Abyss Knight, but isn't he fairly tall for a toy? At least I've seen comparisons next to some Revoltech and he towers over them.

Marvel Legends collectors routinely call them 1:12 when they aren't.

What country are Marvel Legends made in? Unless ML collectors boycott for a year or two Hasbro won't use a real scale. 6" is a made-up corpospeak term to cover for not having to actually consider scale for characters being smaller or larger.

So he became a fat loser? Got it.

>>11653118
Chinamen are known for being insecure and wanting to one up other countries with "mine's bigger"
