If you can find one, that is. You know, it wouldn’t take much modification to a Classics Legend Cosmos to make a nifty little Scrounge. If you can find one, that is.

Funny, I chose hands for comparison, as the heads were pretty obviously outsized (particularly Amber), and the bodies would have been awkward to compare, but the hands didn't (actually, still don't) look terribly out of proportion to me... Gotcha.

The heads and hands of my characters are much larger than real people's relative to their bodies. Blaster's small compared to Ethan's hands, but he's about the right size relative to his body. For example, he's still as tall as his upper arm! That’s another “scale” issue. The heads and hands of my characters are much larger than real people’s relative to their bodies.

On the other hand, speaking of scale...it might just be the whole comparing them to adults thing (as I have not seen Blaster since I was a kid), but both the toys look kind of tiny there... Straxus, for instance, looks to be about the same size relative to Amber's hand that Activators Bulkhead is relative to mine (best size comparison I have handy). Meaning...he'd probably be noticeably smaller than Li'l Bulky, since Amber is a wee lass, and I am not. Blaster’s one of the patron saints of the scale issue, really…
