All these are not 'in scale' they just give a size indication. To the
eyes, top of the head, top of the hat etc...

At least with 15mm some manufacturers actually try to stay compatible
with "1/100" scale. And a bit of variation in the height of figures
isn't that big of a problem.

Unfortunately, 28mm superheorically scaled figures become bigger every
year, mostly because manufacturers want to stand out from and be
incompatible with the ones who went before. All under the guise of
'even more detail'.

Sigh:-)
