Thanos is 6'7, what I have always seen him listed as going back to the 80s collection of the "Official handbook of the Marvel universe" books. Terrax is another figure that Hasbro messed up the scale on with the BAF. He is 6'6 not 7'6. Big reason I never bothered getting it.

The scale chart is great and all, but it's only really there for a reference point and not as a set in stone rule.

At the end of the day, comic books are art, which means by their very nature they are open to artist interpretation and there's nothing wrong with that. After all, part of what makes comic books exciting is artists' willingness to bend the rules to make the comic books feel larger than life. Todd McFarlane had to damn near throw human anatomy out the window in order to get some of those more dynamic Spider-Man poses that everybody loves. And yes, this includes making some characters bigger and bulkier to make them more threatening, despite their "official" height.

There's nothing wrong with that. If someone has always seen Thanos to be almost as big as the Hulk (because yes, sometimes he's drawn that way) and wants that kind of scaling for their collection, then so be it. That doesn't make them wrong.
