Too be clear, sculpt quality has been good...just too tiny lately.
Thank you for supporting my concern amongst those who do not understand that the Poll is to see if there is a percentage that would make it worth while for Wizkids to make them larger, and if it is worth while, then all of those who voted know, are not thinking of their best interest.

That is your problem. You are merely an engager, who breaks the Rules by calling others names, like crazy, and who cannot grasp the concept of the Poll.

Were is your proof of that.

Also, 20% of players purchasing more also does not mean that they are purchase 20% more. That's only true if they are doubling the amount they are currently purchasing. For example, If I normally buy a brick (10 boosters), and buy 1 extra booster because of the changes you are advocating, that's only 10% more. If that ends up being typical, spread among your 20%, that ends up meaning that you have sold 2% more.

You are also ignoring the cost to produce. If the company makes larger sculpts, that means more plastic. The same can be said about using duplicate sculpts. I would assume not using duplicate sculpts would also increase costs. Since you aren't really increasing sales by 20%, you have to determine whether the increases will even cover the costs.
You are igoring that you do not know what the cost to produce is, or the fact they are putting money into other things, like multiple versions of the same figure in a Set from their introduction into GFs; GFs; and all the duplicate sculpts, most people seem to have said in other Threads that they do not want to see. If they make more money, thn what if costs to make them slightly larger, then it makes sense.

This is not a good poll for any sort of prediction of future sales. You have totally ignored the fact that some might actually buy LESS if the sculpts were larger. You also have no way of know HOW MUCH more the 15% will buy. If the 15% buy an additional 10 figures a set, but you have 20% buying 10 fewer figures a set (because of space issues or because they preferred a smaller scale), that is a net loss for the company. That the premise relies on an assumption of no price increase just makes the data even less useful.

If the poll is a complete abstract, that's one thing. But calling it a hypothetical to get around the flaws in your assumptions is inconsistent with trying to use the data to somehow prove the company should make a change. No offense intended, and I'm not going to call you names, but this isn't a very useful poll for a real life company. As someone with a degree in Marketing, I can tell you that my old college professors would tear you apart for drawing the conclusions you've been attempting to draw here.

As to my answer on the poll question itself - I am totally fine with recent figure size. What I would like is for WK to make an attempt to maintain a CONSISTENT scale. They seem to be doing this for the most part. If they jumped scales AGAIN, to a larger one, it would turn me off. I don't want newer figures to dwarf the ones I just got over the past year.
CarlosMucha: that is like be running in a Olimpic race competition just one step to get the gold and then a Giant children place a mirror in your side and you discover what you are really a hamster over a whell and the gold is just a slice of chess.

The error you seem to be making in interpreting the Poll, is that I am not drawing conclusions. I am not going to call you any names, but my english and logic professors would tear you apart. It is merely speculation. Another you have to consider others have purchased all the figures in Carded figure Sets, and have allot of larger size figures, that came from the Avengers through HOT Sets, which most figures since the BB Set do not match up with. If they are not going to make the heigth, on the scale of CR Earth 2 Superman or SI Doom and Iron Man, or the Giant figures the size of AV Hulk or SI Thing or MU Zzzax, or HOT Thor and Loki from duo, or Captain America or Hela, etc., as examples, they can at least make them a little taller and thicker, like we seen in WOS.
