I just used those specific pics 'cause I did a Google search for "classic Ultron" and those popped up. But I personally dug the art in the original Secret Wars a lot, so whatever.

I suspect most of the reason they got as much work as they did (I suffered through Milgrom's run on Spectacular only out of love for Spidey) was because they could reliably meet deadlines and likely came cheaper than other more popular talents.

That's why Travis Charest could never hang as a monthly guy. Some people know how to cut corners to meet deadlines, and some people's art suffers more for it than others. That's the funnybook game, y'all.

But specifically about some of what you've written, Thor is human-sized. Shaq is also human sized. Some humans are considerably taller than other humans.

WOW REALLY YOU DON'T SAY

While Ultron's no human, for sure, he's often been illustrated with a form larger than that of the average male.

Yet you JUST said this:

That hardly puts him as the same size as Thor, which you also claim is the case.

And yes, I know you said that the reality of comic book art puts Ultron at slightly different sizes when compared to different characters, but that's happened with EVERY COMIC BOOK CHARACTER EVER. Heights remain approximate but never completely consistent. The perils of having different artists and all!

Wolverine is never consistently drawn as if he's exactly 5'3" compared to other characters. He's just drawn varying degrees of short.

Man, you should watch Fist of the North Star. Your mind would be blown. Characters change size multiple times in the same scene, lol.

The new Ultron fig is better than what Hasbro has produced previously, but it's still diminutive

Scale seems consistent with how these two have been depicted in the comics.

and could have benefitted from greater height and girth.

A wee, tiny bit of extra size wouldn't matter to me, but it also wouldn't have hurt the figure in anyway ether, so I'll give you that much.

But personally, I am 100 percent satisfied with the figure we got and have zero desire for it to be redone in any way.

It's great that you like it and the sculpt is satisfying

It is!

And the lack of a waist swivel

oh hai

When the dust settles, I think there will still be calls for an updated Ultron...

I seriously doubt it.
