Several different artists and Wolverine's head comes up to just above Scott's shoulder. The image you posted shows the head of the first MU mold coming up to just above the visor. I tried to find some side-by-sides that showed Wolverine next to Cyke and being taller because I am pretty sure there are some but I didn't see any in my quick run through. The last picture with X-Force he does look taller than Deadpool but shorter than Psylocke (whom I thought was shorter than Deadpool). Take from it what you will.
Personally I get why people do and don't like the XMO mold and size. There are issues with it but the scale is much more preferable for most I think. A little bulkier, better claws, wrist hinge, and maybe a little taller would probably be perfect.
Damn, I have too much free time on my hands since I was laid off early.
*edit* Just checked and the Marvel.com lists Psylocke as 5'11" but Deadpool at 6'4" so that last picture makes no sense. Probably the artist just messed up with the depth perception of the image.
It has to do with the depth of the image. If you look closely Wolvie is about a step closer than Psylocke, and she is about 2-4 steps closer than Wade. They are all on the same plain, but as the walk towards the reader the floor is sloped towards you by the artist to add depth, and the illusion that there is a 3 dimensional image in front of you. You'll notice that all 5 of their waists are aligned this gives the artist a reference point, and allows them to draw them side by side at different depths, but not all in the same line as though they were up against a wall.
Sorry I kind of geeked out there I took the artist's work shop that Klause Jansen, and Howard Chaykin taught at the Baltimore Comic Con 2 yrs ago. They are really great guys, and I learned a ton that I didn't even know I didn't know even having been drawing all my life.
As for the discussion at hand my favorite Wolvie is the XMOW Astonishing Wolvie. The older MU Wolvie works for Daken since he's a little taller than his dad, but for Logan the Astonishing Wolvie is the figure to use. I do like the biker Wolvie too though.
