    Default Marvel Legends figure scale?

    I just started collecting ML figures and so far I have Wolverine from the Hit Monkey series and Daken (Dark Wolverine) from the Arnim Zola series.

    I really like the ML series, but I noticed a problem when making them stand back to back and comparing their height.
    The problem is Daken is billed as 5'9 in height, while his father, Wolverine, is billed at 5'3.

    But with their figures, Daken is just slightly taller than Wolverine. Sure, Wolverine's boots have pretty bulky heels, while Daken's have very flat ones, but that's still not enough after compensating for the boot's heels.
    Sure he is shorter, but not short enough.

    Are ALL ML figures not accurate height-wise or just Daken and Wolverine? If it's just those two, then which figure is the one that's out of scale height-wise?

    This old chestnut.
    Scale is all over the place. Id go with wolvey being too tall. Average hero height is 6 foot. Line them up with a cap America and its a better match for daken anyway. Wolverine will usually too tall. Most probably because they reuse parts for other figures.

    I would, but I only have these two.

    Hasbro's latest two wolverine releases have been slightly taller than past wolverine figures.

    Here's a link to a size comparison from theonecam.com

    Well some of the figures in that mix are from the Toybiz line. If we compare the first brown costume with the x force, we can say he is taller because of his new boots which have huge ass heels.

    Do you have a size comparison with him (x force) and any other figures

    Edit: after looking at others on the site, I noticed that most are taller than their billed heights like Cap, Daken, Archangel etc.
    Maybe hasbro has upgraded its figure scale?
