Scales

[scuzzfink85]

I have the Sinbad kit by Monarch and the Tarzan kit by Pegasus..
The head sizes are same and so is the height of them
Sinbad is 1/8 and Tarzan is 1/9 scale.. and Moebius Mars Attacks
seems 1/ 12 scale.. and eyes on the other two are so little..
Whats the deal here?

Don't understand the question here. Or is there a question?

I believe he'd like someone here to answer why Monarch, Pegasus and Moebius scales don't agree.
My suggestion would be if it really bothers you that much, ask them, not us.

I am kind disappointed at not getting some kind of answers
from this message board where people here , have much knowledge.
Instead, a non answer.. t

Sucks don't it? How's about restating the question.

I am not familiar with the Pegasus Tarzan. However, I am aware that each manufacturer has a certain leeway in how they scale their kits vs. the true scale. Aurora 1/8 scale monsters are smaller then what Moebius calls 1/8. Monarch is typically close enough to Aurora 1/8, so maybe he seems small compared to the Pegasus Tarzan, which may be more along Moebius 1/8. The Mars Attacks Martian is supposed to be 1/12 scale but may seem a little larger.

I think the answer is simple, people are different sizes. Think Danny DeVito as the Penguin vs. Arnold S as Dutch- they are over 1 foot difference in height so I suspect the difference you see in size is the difference in height the sculptor started with to be accurate.

For example 1/9 scale, DeVito would be 7" while 1/9 Arnold is 8.3". That is over an inch in height. For 1/6 scale, the difference is a full 2"

This reminds me of when I once built a diorama and used trees of all different size scales. Then I was asked were I found the small "O" scale trees.
