1:6 is a great scale and not just reserved for 12” action figure/dolls. I like 1:3 & 1:4 too but when it comes to producing a diverse line of characters that larger scale isn’t realistic both from a financial and display space perspective. 1:6 is far easier to collect.

Couldn't agree more! I have been collecting and painting 1/6 superhero model kits for nearly 30 years, which was the standard for so long. Happy to see the resurgence/emergence of 1/6 pre-paint statues, especially now that my eyesight has become more feeble Love this line!

You've convinced me to try a 1/6 piece. I ordered the 1/6 Aquaman.

Aquaman is nearly 20" tall and over 13" deep.

That should have quite a bit of presence for being "only" 1/6 scale.

Word! I have about 6 of the Koto X-Men pieces and I don't see why I'd want them bigger, that is the sweet spot size and this line may be what those Koto pieces are in 10 years.

Looks great. Anxious to see this next to some of the other 1/6 statues in order to gauge the size.

Based on other pictures I've seen, he seems to be almost twice the size of the other 1:6 statues... So I imagine he'll be around 18"+ tall. Just a guess though...
