| General info : | | Action figures come in all shapes and sizes.
The term scale refers to the size ratio to a normal sized object. In this case, we're talking about smaller representations of the human figure. For standardization purposes, toy companies refer to the usual ideal human figure as being 6 feet tall.
Therefore an action figure that is also 6 feet tall would have a 1:1 ratio. A 3-foot tall action figure would have a 1:2 ratio and so on.
The 1:10 scale seems to be the most popular size nowadays. Several action figure lines are being produced in this format from Mattel's DC Universe to Marvel's Legends line. Mattel has made an even bigger splash with their Masters of the Universe Classics line that re-imagines the old school fantasy figures in a newer 7" scale. This size tends to be more popular with adult collectors than with children looking for play value. | |
