    Marvel Diamond Select: are they slimming down big figures?

    In a effort to "not buy every figure out there", I had decided I'd go for Marvel's "heavy hitters" only.
    So far, I had Thing and Juggernaut, and now traded a Rhino, which is just out I believe.

    Now my question is: Rhino is a lot smaller and lighter than Juggernaut. Still big enough, but definitely no longer in the same league.
    So, in the Marvel Universe, is Rhino really smaller, or is Marvel just cheating on us and downsizing their muscle men?

    Too early to tell. Rhino was usually portrayed as smaller. Not by much, but I can't imagine DST skimping after setting a precedent. They've done too many big figures.

    I own the Abomination, and I don't think I own another figure that is that solidly built.

    They have also done Thanos, several Hulks, and Thing. I can't imagine they'd cut back after so many other big guys.

      The Abomination is on my list, as is the Hulk.
      I pick them up at conventions, because shipping these guys is way too expensive.
      Abomination looks like a pretty big bruiser...

        He's enormous.

        I bought him because both of the Toy Biz ones are undersized.

          Love those big bruiser Marvel Select figures. They look great next to Megos.
          "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
