It depends upon what you mean by 25mm.	Quite a few folks / 
manufacturers measure from sole of foot to eye level (and as I recall 
the GZG Stargrunt line falls into this group).	By that method, 25mm 
does equate to 1:64 if you assume the full figure height corresponds to 
5'8".

See http://theminiaturespage.com/ref/scales.html

If you have many 1:72 plastic figures, which are nominally "20mm", you 
will find they are most likely 22mm to 25mm full height, but mix fairly 
well with 20mm metal figures (but of course, as with 25mm and 28mm there

is a whole lot of variation).

See any of the figure reviews on Plastic Soldier Review for true figure 
heights of "1:72" plastic figures: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com
