I've got Hem-an Origins and He-man Cartoon Collection in front of me right now and I'm measuring them as we speak.

You say the manufacturers claim 5.5", but the Origins is closer to 6", and the Cartoon Collection is just over 6"...

Thanks for the pic and you're not wrong. I too was over here measuring my figures, lol. The added height is definitely from the bodies being retooled.

Part of the problem comes from Manufacturers, Vendors, and Collectors mixing up Scale versus Height Measurements. They get used interchangeably and at times when they shouldn't. Like you stated you'll see Classified advertised as 6 inch, but they mean Scale not actual Height. Even then it's Hasbro's relative Scale, not a true strict Scale.

But alas, 'tis the life of the collector I guess!
