Well, not necesarilly - in older comics Sasquatch is oftentimes pictured as using arms during the walk.

Sasquatch was really tall sometimes - and just tall others. Different artists depicted the character awfully different from time to time - usually trying to scale the figures for the page. It seems like when Sasquatch is talking to just one person, he is shorter. If he is in combat, he is bigger. Hulk has the same problem, although they explained this a little in the comics. Not so much with Sasquatch.
Thus, I think the Legends is a great representation. I do think the figure should be crouched a little bit in group shots, as that seems to be normal (heck, most tall people crouch instinctively with shorter folks when getting a picture made). |

The marvel comic database lists him as 10' which would make the Vintage one perfect and the ML one too tall.

All that is to say this: these guys are too short. Captain Britain stands way over everyone - more like 7'. Winter Soldier is less than average height for an American male? Henry Pym, on the other hand, is 6 foot even. That seems too tall. As is Peter Parker at 5'10". Hawkeye is 6'3" - taller than many of the other avengers? I acknowledge this is Marvel's web site, and is listing their official bios of characters. I'm just saying - it's not consistent with the depictions of the characters in most cases. |

Well in their defence Winter soldier was born during the pre WW2 era when the average male height is lower then it is for a male born today.

I just picked the Iron Man first movie Titianium Man!
For Four bucks! Anyone else got this? Though the armor is a new design (not something from the comics), the size is really perfect for the original Titainium Man (Boris Bullski). He was a giant- agumented by Soviet science to be huge enough to fit into the Titianium Man armor. http://marvel.wikia.com/Boris_Bullski_(Earth-616) Dont go by those height stats though- every comics appearance has him in the 12-14' range. He's massive.

I don't put much stock in that height. Here is why: Savage Hulk is listed as 7-8' tall. Captain Britain is listed 6'6" tall - the same height as Gray Hulk and Thor. Captain America is 6'2". Winter Soldier is 5'9".

With all this talk of heights I've lost track of what this thread is even about.

yup I think the perfect height, at least aesthetically would be at the ab articulation or lower pectoral region.

Fortune Thanks for posting this, i just managed to get this Sasquatch off ebay for £4. I asked the guy to end the auction early and he did. Still had 4 days left on it. Hes posting it out today Ill have to get the guardian to go with him now. Ive always liked sasquatch but had no idea they did a figure of him in the 5-6 inch scale like that.
Perfect for MU! |
