They don't build to minifig scale because minifig scale is so out-of-whack
with normal human dimensions. The custom figs they build are likely about as
small as they can make them with standard lego pieces. Besides, from a
distance of however many feet, a minifig scale sculpture would be very hard to
see. By making them 2x3 times larger, they are more impressive and can be
seen from a farther distance.
