    I was actually just in a conversation with someone arguing that Super Ginrai should be much bigger than Ultra Magnus, thus FansHobby's was to small. I looked up the numbers on TFWiki (they say they are from production notes, but I can't verify that) which said Ultra Magnus is supposed to be about 7 meters tall, Ginrai is 8 Meters and Super Ginrai around 15 meters tall, so in theory should be twice Ultra Magnus' height. FH did not take that route though. I think they basically tried to match MP Star Saber's height to have them all similar and didn't initially concern themselves over proper "scale" until it was brought to their attention.

    For me I see Magnus and Ginrai as similar (cab combining with trailer) and just think they should be similar heights.

    I think that size is appropriate. I don't think it should be much bigger. Leaves open the.option for a black zarak perhaps?

    I know Overlord is supposed to be a big guy and all, but with characters such as Overlord you have to consider if it's worth following a scale chart to a tee if the final product ends too large as to not even have a proper place to display him.

    The scale as stated seems fine, OVERLORD IS A HUGE CHARACTER. making him much larger was due to a response from fans, complaining about the improper, diminutive size, so clearly more people wanted him to scale better as opposed to people who didnt!

    This is going to totally decimate the MMC version.
