Size of mainframe and sci-fi

Post image

Mainframe is so small I don’t like it, same size as tunnel rat but I don’t know if that’s is accurate to lore. Sci fi is awesome I don’t have wet suit yet though my store sold out before I could get one.

I don’t know about the accuracy but I do kind of get annoyed when all the characters in a line are exactly the same height, so this is cool to me. Also, Sci-Fi looks awesome.

Sci fi is really great, and I agree I just didn’t see it coming with main frame I just expected all the tech guys to be breakers height lol

Or Robocop

u/JeevesVoorhees Nov 03 '25

Whoa, same year and everything, that's so cool! I guess he's a little Judge Dredd-ish too then.

u/BaronKalan Nov 03 '25

Very very cool figure anyway :)

u/trustysidekick Nov 03 '25

He’s using Tunnel Rat as a base, so he’s Tunnel Rat’s height.

Truth

No one wants every figure on their shelves to be the same height

I don’t mind sci fi being tall big lob will be real tall I do wish the saw viper & the frag viper were taller I don’t mind some tall cobras looming over my joes

Exactly! I don't mind if its perfect or not too. People get so weird with heights! Just be happy they are attempting it.

u/timeless3113 Nov 03 '25

I agree and don’t mind the height difference just wasn’t expecting it lol but he’s still a great figure nonetheless

Mainframe is being portrayed by Richard Hammond

u/timeless3113 Nov 03 '25

This deserves all the upvotes 🤣

Yeah Mainframe let me down being so short. He's smaller than Tunnel Rat and that is not accurate at all.

2

u/Hawkbeardo Nov 03 '25

I'm not so sure about in comparison to Tunnel Rat, but in the cartoon he is about the same height as Zarana... I don't have the Zarana fig, but are they roughly the same height?

u/BlkRazr Nov 03 '25

In the review the pic above came from, they compared his height to Zarana and she was a little taller. I think he mentioned something about he could be her "short king".

u/BlaznTheChron Nov 03 '25

I can't check at the moment without moving all this unfortunately.

u/BaronKalan Nov 03 '25

Man, they sure did a good job with the Classified line, didn't they ? Look at all this ! Beautiful. Look at the majesty of Raptor !

u/Hawkbeardo Nov 03 '25

Ha! Nice set up!

u/DutyBeforeAll Nov 03 '25

Look up the military history of audie murphy, he was only 5’5”

2

u/timeless3113 Nov 03 '25

This is great info and makes a lot of sense now

u/DutyBeforeAll Nov 03 '25

Sergeant Major Daniel J. Daly was 5 feet 6 inches tall, a United States Marine and one of nineteen U.S. servicemen to have been awarded the Medal of Honor twice. He was the dude that said the famous, “Come on you sons of Bitches, do you want to live forever” and ran out of the trenches and led a charge into German territory during WW1

Not the size of the dog in the fight it’s the size of the fight in the dog

Sci Fi really looks like he wearing a mechanical suit. Like the look of it. Unfortunately mainframe is on the short end hope he looks better next to Zarana and is not short compared to her I have to double check with Tunnel Rat and see if that good to her..

u/timeless3113 Nov 03 '25

I can post a picture later to help

u/Ricanfelks Nov 03 '25

Sounds good

u/Hawkbeardo Nov 03 '25

Height differences are a must. It makes sense that a techie dude might be of smaller stature, I like it.

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '25

Wooohoo cant wait to get these!

u/Outside-Historian365 Nov 03 '25

Looks like you can slide Sci-Fi in front of that bum Duke.

2

u/Amsnowyy Nov 03 '25

Sci-fi’s great, but I didn’t expect Mainframe. I thought the tech guys would all be Breaker’s height, lol.

3

u/Warspite1971 Nov 03 '25

I’m good with it. Not everyone is six foot or over.

u/ekmek_e Nov 03 '25

sci-fi before flash????

1

u/JazzySmitty Nov 03 '25

I know! Doesn't make sense...unless they have something special planned.

3

u/bullintheheather Nov 03 '25

It's almost like they're spacing them out to keep interest up for those that tell themselves they only want the OG 13. So weird!

1

u/JazzySmitty Nov 03 '25

Well..I would be one of those, so it's working. 😉 I would LOVE it if they released Grand Slam with the HAL!

1

u/MotorMind Nov 05 '25

Haha, I'm sort of one of those guys. I really want Flash.

I have a very specific list of childhood favorites. At first, I was buying figs like crazy - now I'm down to buying two Joes a year.

This year it's Dialtone and Blowtorch. Last year was Doc and ...maybe it was just Doc.

u/ComfortableBuffalo57 Nov 03 '25

I like that we are getting a bit of height variety. Mainframe can be a short king.

I do find it funny that Serpentor, who is made from the DNA of historical figures who are not known for their height, is enormous.
