Same as for the Hulk/Juggernaut,Kingpin & Thanos. For decades their respective hgts were 7' 6'10 & 6'8, then they all "mutated" to the magical 8-9 ft status? None of em is a mutant, only got "mutated" by the artists that decided to gigantisize them for whatever BS reason or another.

Hasbro should do Blob at the scale depicted in these pics, not 8' scale. Blob is not an acrobat so the POA on the arms/legs can be single jointed, give him mid torso articulation instead of waist swivel. Alternate heads grasping hands & fists hands. On a figure of his stature, double jointed arms/legs would make him look gangly.

Marvel Comics site says 8' so I'm going to go with the creators and owners of the intellectual property, but you do you Jan https://www.marvel.com/characters/blob
