Gotta say, I disagree with that. Hot Rod's size is where the budget went towards Hot Rod.
Scourge feels like a premium figure. Seeing how many of the parts have been painted (and painted well) is really rare to see these days. The sculpting is fantastic and detailed, particularly the head - my only concern is that the Cyclonus from Kingdoms looks a little bland and undetailed by comparison. Yes, I know they're different toylines.....but they're really not.
