I know they don't scale up to human size: my head isn't as tall as my torso, and my legs are longer than both. Oh, and I have knees. I suspect TLG designed them to be somewhat childlike. Large round heads, relatively small bodies... it's probably triggering some kind of cuteness/parental response. At least * I'm* very protective about my minifgis... ;-) Part of the problem is that minifigs live in a non-Cartersian universe -- their squares aren't square, basically. The minifig veritcal dimension is shorter than their horizontal one -- I'm pretty sure plates have a 6:5 ratio of width:height. - Mike

Ok, I have not managed to read many posts in the last 4 weeks or so(I hold my head in shame) due to work comitments.I have recently purchased a Panther radio controlled model tank, 1.25th scale. As a teenager I used to have 1.35th scale tanks etc. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)
