Mark .... {eek3} …. Oh no ...this could set the Toy Soldier world on fire.

Now, everyone is going to have to reconsider the scale factor of "figure" with respect to THE TIME PERIOD in question.
So Mike Miller's GREAT Ancient figures should be taller than my FIW and AWI collection?

Some heads might explode!!!!!{sm2}

Larry...
we're gonna need a mathematician to figure this out...
but if I understand this correctly...
if I were born in the 12th through 16th century...
instead of being 6' 4"s tall...
as I am now...
I would have only been 5' 7"s tall...^&grin

Maybe in physical height, my friend, but you would still be a GIANT in reputation.
Of course, I am not saying that it is good ^&grin or bad {sm2} reputation, mind you!

Prost!
