Is Major David Stirling a giant? (1 Viewer)

What is going on with the scales of the Eight Army figures. A couple of the figures crouching on the previous release seem tiny, and now Major Stirling is by far the tallest figure K&C has ever produced, and so is EA21 figure as well as the imposter in set EA19. When you place these figures next to the Germans, the Germans seem quite small. And if you place Stirling next to Monty, the latter looks like a dwarf. I love the figures, but I am troubled by their inconsistent height. Is this a problem with the scale, or am I wrong?

at risk of being lynched by the K and C faithfull
I would agree with your comments .They are great
figures but to my eye their is a scale descrepancy
The difference between the Kiwi and his companion
in EA 20 seems quite large to me .[I know people are
different sizes but the overall scale of the figure doesnt
look quite right] .

I can't comment for the other figures, but Stirling was 6' 6" tall, so I guess he would have been made deliberately tall.

Hi Wraith

Its all pretty subjetive ,but when I recieved these figures
the sizing between a couple of figures was one of the first things
that struck me . Stirling at 6,6 is a pretty tall guy alright and he
compares fine to a couple of the other figures ,but a couple do
seem a little on the small side .
It will be interesting to see if anyone else feels the same or not.

Wow! I did not know Stirling was that tall. Nonetheless, the other figures I mentioned seem out of proportion. And let's remember that the Waffen SS has height requirements, so I am sure that some of this guys must have been pretty tall. And it is not only the height. If you look at the size of their heads you will see that some of the figures are in a different scale. I guess some people have also issues with the true scale of the vehicles which seem a bit smaller than the scale of the figures. However, I understand that K&C is continuously evolving, and I will continue buying their products.
