Don't forget to add the base height as well.

Most of them still don't reach 12", but since this Wolverine is like 60% base, he's gonna seem a lot bigger than he actually is. Without the base, Magneto's like 11 inches.

Totally agree. They seemed to have absolutely no direction once Dan left...glad he’s back. I mainly started collecting because of the Star Wars line and I’m not the biggest fan of the new movies, so that little drought they had with Star Wars releases turned me away. But, I am glad to see we’re getting more prequel and original trilogy characters...hopefully the prices drop and there are more core characters to come. The Premier Line also turned me off, not just because of the price, but the look of each character. I would perhaps be interested if they were all in a classic look, but not current. Hopefully Toy Fair brings some more promising news.

woooow!! hot toys are really big. thats why i have 60 pieces of 1/6 and none of them are hot toys be coz they dont really mix well. an average of 11.4 inches or at least 11 inches is just right for my 1/6 collection. thanks a lot for the comparison pictures Deimos.

The picture you posted. Superman is standing straight up. Magneto's legs are spread apart while using his power. Now wherever you are...stand up and do Magneto's pose. Do you shrink? Grow? What is the technical term for hot toys? Just curious.

I knew people would nitpick, thats why I posted that pic comparing the heads to show that the difference in proportions. Its obvious that the proportions are bigger on Supes than Magneto.and yes these are side by side pics, but I concede. I've already proved it so there's nothing more to say on the matter.

yup lets not talk about the size matter anymore. in this 1/6 scale hobby, really 11 to 11.5 inches is the true 1/6 scale. kotos artfx and fine arts are 11.4 inches, HX and hard hero are 11.8 inches, DST and PrototypeZ are 11 inches. the new XM 1/6 line are as big as HX base on the pictures ive seen. tweeterheads and HMO are 11.5 inches too. bowen scale is too small and hot toys are too big and not statues too. thats all weve got in this 1/6 world. ikon and some other lines, those i dont know.

I'm excited to hear that the Fine Arts line is continuing. Even more so that Gonk is back in the fold.

I understand the idea of doing Wolverine again: it's been a long time since the first series came out and Koto wants to attract new buyers. But I hope they announce some new characters for us "Fine Arts faithful" sprinkled in between the retreads.

There's a bunch of popular 80s/90s X-Men still needing attention: Beast, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Banshee, Forge, Jubilee. Brotherhood of Evil Mutants like Mystique, Pyro, Avalanche. I'm also hoping the new releases scale well with the statues by Erick.

What does that have to do with anything? Just using hot toys because they reach the 1/6 mark. So I guess people can force 1/6 to be 11 to 11.5 inches just because its a statue. Maybe you guys need to look up 1/6 scale, I mean this is just sad. Use 72 and divide by the 6 in 1/6 and you get 12 as in 12 inches. Divide 72 by 4 you get. 18 inches, which is 1/4. Use the same equation for 1/7, 1/8, etc to determine true scales. Some of you guys have been in this hobby a long time and really should know better.
