Okay, so we said before<\/a> that McFarlane's Halo 3<\/i> figures were in a 5\" scale - but that\u2019s not really accurate. Yeah, the figures are 5\" tall, but height isn't scale.<\/p>\n

Apparently Master Chief is 6'10\" - or an even 7' when he's in his armor. Since scale is generally based on a 6-foot-tall character, we need to make some adjustments:<\/p>\n

Master Chief, in a 5\" scale, would stand 5⅞\" tall. Since he\u2019s just over 5\" tall, that means McToys' line is actually in a 4⅜\" scale - even weirder than we thought, and entirely unrelated to any toyline that's come before.<\/p>\n

\"Worst.<\/p>\n

Thanks to reader _jim for the MC info.<\/p>\n
