(...) I don't think this is the case. If you look at the new Harry Potter sets, the goblins look shorter than mini-figs. Notice the tallest to shortest line up of Hargrid(creator fig), Harry(mini-fig), and the goblin(mini mini-fig?). It appears that (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) In defense of the new canopies... For the first time in a while, they designed a new canopy that actually matches existing piece geometry.
