The style of some figure lines includes the use of heads which are out of proportion to their bodies. Does this bother you, or do you like this style? |

No it does not bother me. I'm surprisingly fond of my Tin Soldier hoplite armies. In front of my nose, they look silly; on the tabletop they look great! |

Yes, and ones that are too small too. The issue seems to be sculptors like to do the head separately, and when that is done, all too frequently they end up being the wrong size. Then, they've invested all that time, and don't want to go back to fix it. I will not buy those figs. I also hate WWII/Cold War "boonie-hat style" helmets – you know, the ones that look more like mis-shaped boonie hats than the helmets they are really supposed to represent. |

Pumpkin heads are a no for me no matter the scale |

YES! More than it should perhaps… |

I avoid disproportionate figures. |

I don't like out of proportion figures. If the head is too big, I assume the sculptor did that first, then found he had to do the rest of the figure smaller to fit into the right overall size! |

Yes, I found some and rejected them for my Napoleonics. My personal taste. |
| Joes Shop | 10 Feb 2019 8:27 a.m. PST |
Yes, regardless of scale. |

Not if they are on a fantasy or scifi character. |

If the point of the mini was to look like a normal human, then I wouldn't buy such a figure. I'm not sure that rises to the level of bothering me. |
| Thresher01 | 10 Feb 2019 11:42 a.m. PST |
Yep, those "pumpkin heads" are HORRIBLE. Can't believe anyone would make and try to sell them, let alone buy them. |

Yes. I avoid them whatever the scale. |
| Hamilton | 10 Feb 2019 8:01 p.m. PST |
Yes, I don't like 'heroic' in any scale. |
| rampantlion | 11 Feb 2019 8:06 a.m. PST |
Nope. I have found that in 15mm it actually helps with the appearance of the units on the table. I have found that a lot of figures (15mm and 28mm) that don't look all that great in bare metal really come to life with some paint and I have found that the slightly "cartoonish" figures appeal to me more after painting than those that are more accurately proportional…I'm sure that there are many that will disagree with that though. |

Oversized ANYTHING annoys me! Everything should be as scale as is possible within the manufacturing limits. |
 javelin98 | 11 Feb 2019 9:38 a.m. PST |
Yep, not a fan of gigantic noggins. |
