I think I remember reading your post about that. I have Supergirl and Harley displayed together right now and it looks kind of lopsided, since Supergirl is standing and Harley's on a bike. Not to mention Supergirl is much larger in scale for some reason. Having another piece on a bike would really balance the display.

Yeah, but Wolverine lives here.

Beautiful. That’s the perfect way to display them.

I switched them out several times on the kitchen counter to get it looking right before I put them on the shelf. This was the best way to showcase them all in that space.

How is the scale of Wonder Woman compared to Supergirl? I don’t like how Supergirl is so much bigger than Harley. You don’t really notice looking at Harley on the bike, but if you compare just her body to Supergirl, it’s like she’s in a different scale. I’m wondering if they’re all weird scales or whether they just made Supergirl a giant because she doesn’t have a bike.

I think you're letting the sitting/leaning poses and Supergirl's raised arm play tricks on your eyes. All of the statues are 1/7 scale.

(Gal Gadot is 1/6-scale.)


(Both the Joelle Jones and GCG Supergirls are 1/7-scale.)


(Black Lightning is 1/6-scale.)

I measured all 5 with a flexible measuring tape. They are all 8.5" to a little over 9" in height from heal to head. So they are all in scale. I think Supergirl has a wider face though than the rest and she is the only one over 9".

Man, it's weird that you both say that, because I definitely think Supergirl is bigger than Harley. I know they're supposed to be the same scale, but you know how there is sometimes variation within a line. I'll measure in a bit and get back to you guys. Maybe I'm just going crazy.

Okay, so here’s what I’m talking about. Supergirl’s straight leg is about 6 inches. Harley’s straight leg is closer to 5 inches. If we extrapolate that ratio to full body height and assume Harley is 5’4”, which is around average height for a woman, that would make Supergirl 6’5”!
