Not to throw a spanner in the works but I recently bought some OOP
'true'
15 mm figures (15 mm to top of head/hat/beret/helmet) and I have a pack
of 15 mm UNSC I hope to covert to "M-i-i-i-i-c-e in Space" (add tail,
the
snout helmet fits a mouse face, they might do as GM (Genetically
Modified) Martian Mouse stock next to a 28mm Stan Johansen Mekpur
(feline) figure.)  Lots of difference between 15 mm figure lines (almost
as much as 25 mm I suspect as the recent talk of Eureka's "18 mm is 15
mm" Mex-Am war figures on another list has shown.)  Take some figures to
a local shop and visually compare.  Heck it's a problem in 6 mm too H&R
figures next to an Irregular 8 wheeled APC ("Yep, Ace, the whole
Freaking
Company rides in one vehicle I bet!")  [Okay, a L_i_t_t_l_e
exaggerated...but you get my point, no?]

6 mm miniatures rule!  Well, anyway in my mind they do!
