Well, pedantic or not, that's exactly what 1:18 scale means: one foot equals two-thirds of an inch. So a six-foot-tall human in two-thirds scale would be four inches tall.

So these SpruKits would be way off scale. They sound to be closer to the 4.5" height/scale, yet still fall literally short to them. These SpruKits fall between the two scales.

I wouldn't say way off. One-fifth of an inch (0.2") is a really small amount - about 1/2 a centimeter.

I'm curious how accurate those Amazon listings are, since other vendor sites are listing them as 4 inches. Maybe tlasjr can take some measurements of his Level 1 kits and let us know.

Personally, I don't think they should be counted as 3.75/4", for "purity" sake.

That's up to you, of course.

As far as this thread is concerned, we include any figures that are close to 1:18 scale (between 3-5" in height, usually), since different companies tend to vary on the actual scale of their figures, even between toys within the same line.
