I've been toying (no pun) with the images at LEGO to try to get the scale of
the new figs. The seem to be the same 4 brick/1 plate height as the
traditional figs, just with more detail (2 stud feet, sculpted ball socket
heads, etc.). Dryden himself said "...i saw so many new items it was all
such a blur...". In this purely rumor filled time, my money is on the new
Creator/Jack Stone style figures for Harry and friends. But then
again...we'll all see in a few months!
