Most of the rest of the line they are fine though.Most movie figures are proper 1/18 scale...our stuff is really 1/16 with some (like Bishop) coming in at 1/15 scale. That is why all the cool 1/18 dio stuff for furniture and such including cool bikes and cars, come in a tad too small.

Bishop is 6'6" plus add an 1-1.5" for combat boots, and another inch for hair that puts him around 6'8.5" so he's a pretty tall dude (plus he's from the future and peoples average height is always going up) couple that with the fact that the rank and file soldiers for Hydra are probably younger (I think of them like fresh military recruits) and they can't pay that well so there probably malnourished, therefore stinted in height. my point... slight "follies of scale" are easily explained away or fudged.
a good example is Deathlok, he's ginormous! but just remind yourself he's a steroid jacked zombie cyborg. i'm sure that his creators picked the biggest and most imposing cat they could find for the project. couple that with HGH and some long Cyborg legs and boom his height makes sense. now the series one X-force Wolverine.... I cant help you he just sucks balls.
