Prompted by this, and many topics like it..
I wonder though. Since 12" figures are supposed to be, what, a 6' tall man? (6'/1' 1/6th). Wouldn't 6' = 72", 72"/18" (1/18th) = 4".
So according to the rules of scale, if we are saying 12" figures are correct, the new Joes @ 4" would be MORE accurate to 1/18th scale than the old 3 3/4" inch Joes.
I'm starting to think it's the diecast manufacturers who are making things too small.
Ideas?
1:18 is still proving too small for Joescale figures, and after dealing with 1:16 scale Bruder stuff, I'm still convinced that Joescale is NOT true 1:18, more like 1:17.
