I probably wouldn't buy it anyway so don't think of this as input from a customer but rather just an observation. One way around this would be to make the Goliath just a little larger than a standard 1/4 scale figure and scale David down accordingly. Also there is a lot of debate among scholars as to how tall Goliath really was. I have seen estimates anywhere from just over 7' to taller than 18' so there is some leeway there but whatever you choose would also make some people unhappy.

Your right that there is some lead way in the size of the statue. It may be something we do in the future. I know that Arahom is definitely going to do a Samson between the two pillars at some point this year.

Here is a guy with some pretty compelling evidence that Goliath was acutally less than 7' but just looked like a "giant" because avg height of Israeli of the day would be 5'3".

Still, for the statue collector I don't think a 6'9" Goliath would suffice. That would be about ARH Thor size. I measured him up and with 1/4 scaling he would be about 6'7".

Historically I know Charlemagne (the actual person) was around 6'6" which was also considered huge for that time and that is a few thousand years later. The avg height for a male at that time was around 5'6" I guess.
