If for some reason 1/8 Hugo sold disastrously poorly compared to all of the other 1/8 statues, I imagine that wouldn't reflect very well on his chances as a crazy expensive 1/4, would it?

That said, I've seen so many folks online requesting Hugo for so long, I can't see him being the sales dud of the 1/8 group (if there is one at all).

I'm no art major, so I know this won't be popular opinion. But something is off with the scale here.

Hugo standing straight up, Sakura should not be this tall next to him.

Look at at this. Hugo's legs are bent big time here. Yes, so are Sakura's, but you can see the drastic size difference between them in the game and the 1/8 figures.

Observe the lines on the back wall.

Alex standing upright against Hugo. Poison, upright with heels on stands to Hugo's chest. So clearly Sakura should not reach the same point on his chest in 1/8.

Poison 5'9"

Sakura 5'2"

Throw the official Capcom stat sheet out the window and just have him look appropriately sized.

She's up to his nipples in both pictures. If anything, you've proven the scale is accurate.

Examine them more closely.

Look at Alex and Poison. The SF4 Squat ratio isn't the same.

Why would 5'2" sakura stand that tall on Hugo? Same height as a 5'9" Poison.

I'm just saying an adjustment could be made now. Scale him up 5%.

Excuse the crude photography, had to work both controllers at the same time.

This is her standing fully erect and he's still legs wide open (it's his most upright taunt).

Her head still isn't quite to his chest. It's by no means a huge deal. But why not look into it while it can still be adjusted?

Later in the 1/8 line you'd hate to have Sagat or Zangief who must be smaller than Hugo looking too small.

If you thought Hugo was big, think again
