While Ultron's no human, for sure, he's often been illustrated with a form larger than that of the average male. In both stature and physical size, Ultron is closer in form to that of Thor than he is of Iron Man.

The new Ultron fig is better than what Hasbro has produced previously, but it's still diminutive (looks like kid next to the new Thor fig) and could have benefitted from greater height and girth. It's great that you like it and the sculpt is satisfying, but it still leaves me wanting and apparently others as well. That's without mentioning that poorly implemented ball-peg torso that limits the figs ability to pitch forward to stoop and lumber over fallen foes as Ultron often does. And the lack of a waist swivel creates some pretty ugly side profiles when you pose the fig dynamically. When the dust settles, I think there will still be calls for an updated Ultron...[/QUOTE]


"Lack of a waist swivel"?? Ultron has a waist swivel, it's right under the belt. And again, we're gonna have to agree to disagree about this "diminutive" scale you say he has. He's slightly taller than both Ironman/Cap figures & Cap is listed as being 6'2 & in armored form, Ironman is also about 6'2, so the fact that Ultron is a bit taller than both of em would make him in the 6'3-6'4 range. Thor is 6'6. I have yet to find any pics of the MK8 Ultron, which this figure is based on , where Ultron towers over any Avenger, you posted a pic where you say he's the same hgt as Thor & again, I think he's standing on rubble in the pic. As far as an "updated" Ultron, if by that you mean taller, then you might as well stick with the MS version as that is what it seems you are asking for. The only "updated" Ultron I would want is this 99' version from the Perez/Busiek run, & again, in the same scale as the current MK8 version.
