Re:Abomination; I've always had a problem with Hasbro's Abomination BAF since he's smaller than any Hulk Hasbro has done since the RoML. I want my Emil to at least be the same size as Hulk but bigger is fine, instead we have the opposite situation and with this new badass Hulk it's only worse.

I complained about exactly this and the potential problems it would create moving forward when the SDCC Raft set (prior to the BAF wave) dropped, but few agreed with me and my comments started an inane circular debate about the the size, scale, and listed heights of both the Hulk and Blonsky. Had I the time, I'd backtrack and quote the full convo.

We may be on the verge of seeing the same thing with Herc, Bill, and Thor depending on how the 80th anniversary fig plays out. I know many like to say that scale doesn't matter, but it does. Were Daredevil on the Grim Reaper mold, the fig would've been panned. If Hasbro had given Gambit the Hyperion body, few would've bought it. Just as street level heroes are similarly scaled, so too should be the heavyweights.

It's as if once Hasbro veers off the beaten path (character-wise) they make significant scale blunders (ie Herc, Bill, and Abomination etc). This is obviously not to say that Hasbro's is egregious in this regard, but there have been enough inconsistencies to denote a pattern. There have got to be some 40+ fanboys up in Hasbro that have some familiarity with Marvel back when the publisher had strict rubrics for size differences, right? Maybe not...
