It can be very noticeable. It's okay if you've got a mix of
humans and aliens (or aliens and aliens), where a size difference
is acceptable. If you've got what is meant to be a slender 28mm
female next to a typical 25mm bloke, then it looks wrong.

(yes, you could pretend she's an Amazonian barbarian or whatever,
but if you bought her to represent an RPG character who is a weedy
technician, then that misses the whole point of buying the figure
in the first place).
