On many sites that do reviews they often give comparison shots of the figures with some established brands to give readers an idea of what they are looking at and if it will fit into thier collections. When I do a review I try to make sure to do this to ensure everyone kind of knows what is what.

The major problem now is 3 & 3/4/1;18th scale is kind of iffy on definition. Marvel, Gi Joe 25th ect are taller (almost 4 inches in some cases) while some seem to get smaller like Playmates (whose Star Trek and Terminator lines last year danced around the 3-1/2 mark).

Star Wars seems to have remained somewhat conistant but many argue the figs are becoming too short, in actuality many times we forget Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamil were never that tall to begin with though. Only now is the line trying to compinsate for that.

When you add in lines like WWE build N brawl the confusion deepens since they work great with traditional 1:18th scale lines Like ARAH GI Joe but when set beside the 25th GI Joes they look short. Then you have the ROC addition which kind of split the difference between 3 & 3/4 inch and 4 inch and of course tossed the whole thing into a worse mess than before. Oh and in all of that is incedental stuff like DC Infinate Heroes, Avatar, Iron man, Ben-10 ect who kind of fit thier own scale but call it 1:18th scale.

The site One-18TH.com|Because Size Matters does have some good comparison shots (Heh I put a few on thier myself so I know) in some of thier reviews, However admittidly we are slow to review new things.

Anyway I have been collecting this scale since 1975 (Dispite the claims of some the scale has only been around since Star Wars, there were a few instances Like adventure People before that but I digress). Anyway if you have anymore questions just feel free to ask.
