Same as for the Hulk/Juggernaut,Kingpin & Thanos. For decades their respective hgts were 7' 6'10 & 6'8, then they all "mutated" to the magical 8-9 ft status? None of em is a mutant, only got "mutated" by the artists that decided to gigantisize them for whatever BS reason or another.

Hasbro should do Blob at the scale depicted in these pics, not 8' scale. Blob is not an acrobat so the POA on the arms/legs can be single jointed, give him mid torso articulation instead of waist swivel. Alternate heads grasping hands & fists hands. On a figure of his stature, double jointed arms/legs would make him look gangly.

Venom got the same treatment in the 90’s. He went from a regular body builder to muscles on top of muscles within muscles like the “spirits of vengeance” appearance and the “madness within”. Just huge. I don’t mind supersizing Juggernaut, since he’s no longer human in that form, but an avatar of a god... he can grow as far as I’m concerned. Hulk grows too, in some comics (I prefer him Avengers movie size. Slightly bigger, but not elephantine. Blob should just be a regular person size. Give him Some accessories... head with a combover, a suit, and the option of smaller hands and call it a day. No need for the deluxe BAF for him. At the most, use the scale of Thing or Beast, but that’s too big imho.
