I was wondering how they were planning to do Sif to begin with. Honestly given how many characters in Souls are significantly taller than a regular human, the license is probably best suited to 1:8 or 1:6th scale especially if we want to see things like Smough or The Dancer realized

It means that even though they said it would be a 1/4 line it won't be due to the sheer size of character in the Dark Souls Universe, many collectors in their fan page don't grasp the concept of scale and think that 1/4 scale means around 20" tall
I'm a Huge Dark Souls fan so I would go for true 1/4 representations but most F4F fans won't, hell the keep whining about Samus being too big and they're always asking for more 1/6 statues instead of 1/4's. I even went on a small nerd rage trying to convince F4F of doing a true 1/4 scale for DS but the majority of fans wanted "smaller statues".
As an example, I don't know the exact size of Artorias, think he's like 3 and a half meter tall lol, so at 1/4 he would be 35" (huge), but here's what Alex said regarding his size:

"Thanks for feedback guys - I will make them in scale with each other. Artorias, Sif, Ornstein are all now in the physical form Stading straight - these will be over 20" without the base. Solaire will be smaller than them - roughly 12" without the base, feather or pose - so they make sense when displayed next to each other."

So at the end It will be more like a 1/6 scale (or how they see it, a 1/4 scale for normal humans proportions). I really don't know if the marketing will change and they'll start advertising the line as a 1/6 scale or keep saying it's 1/4, I'm ok with having Ornstein and Artorias measuring little over 20" without base, the one I'm worried about is Solaire, imo I would rather sacrifice some consistency in scale between the line for have a taller sunbro \ [T] /
