Yes, but minifigs are long-agreed to be waaaaaay out of scale in the lego
world. Look at them by themselves, their legs are out of proportion to their
bodies (human legs are 1/2 the whole body) and their heads much too large.
So when considering scale, it's better (sometimes) to ignore minifigs, like
Gary does. Personally, though, I love minifigs and so I ignore scales while
trying to construct their buildings.

Ouch! These are really *high* heels, then, and they never take them off?!
Believe me, walking on high-heels hurts a lot, as does standing... don't see
how they can manage. ;-)
