Wow. That's a lot to think about.
I can see myself getting addicted to these. Maybe if I stick to the A list characters I'll be safe? Perhaps...

My figures are already split into two locations, work and home. Not enough space in either spot.

Aren't most of these figures more or less to scale with each other? I've been wondering if the sculps were modeled by using the old Handbook height statistics. Probably not.
Quick, someone do the math and figure out how big a scale Celestial would be! ;)

Not really to scale with each other. A few are really off. Dr. Strange is a glaring example of a figurine sculpted way too big. Put him in the Defenders as a group and he's the height of the Hulk and taller than Namor! The Super Skrull is smaller than I would imagine him to be. Ditto Captain Britain. Most, though, look just fine next to each other.

Scale is really tough to do right at this size. Even if the sculptors manage to
get the scale consistent in their original sculpts, there's always a good
chance of error creeping in during the scale-down process. Personally, I
think Eaglemoss has done an admirable job at keeping things consistent,
but there are definite hiccups here and there.

Hey, they did better with the scale of Wolverine than the current comics do.
