All kidding aside, it's not really 8 wide, I was just stirring up trouble...
As you say, many "6 wide" sets really are 7 or even almost 8 measured at their
widest point and what really counts is body width. This beauty has a base body
width of 6, it is built on a number of 6 wide plates in the subfloor.

That said, my figs can sit 3 abreast inside the trolley. (NOW how wide is it?)
That's because they sit on a bench that runs the long way, like a lot of real
trolley benches do. :-) And they can stare at the guy standing across the
aisle from them or read the ads if they want.
