        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              If we can include dolls, I still wish Glamour Gals had stayed around longer. Tiny fashion dolls were magical.

                As a veteran rpg player and collector even more than toy collector, the 25mm and 28mm scales of figures are what I own the most of.

                If strictly toys, likely the 3 3/4 inch scale would first with 1/12 second.

                    My favorite scale that Mego used was the 10 inchers in the Doctor Who and Flash Gordon lines. Not so much room to display, but plenty of room for detail. Denis Fisher Cyborg was about that size as well. Super Joe was also a smidge bigger than 1:9 MEGO, but not quite up to a 10" figure.

                      Well, Mego figures are dolls. No matter how much some people hate that...

                            Definitely 1/6th scale. I also love the 9 to 10 inch figures from the early years like Big Jim and Gabriel's Lone Ranger. I always found those to be a fun scale.
