Warlord figures are very squat looking - almost dwarf-like. They also tend to be posed 'heroically' (i.e. with their legs apart and knees bent). Tamiya figures (which are too big anyway) all have legs like catwalk models, so ignore them. The Perry figures seem to be a better template. I don't think your figures should be any taller than the Perry figures. Maybe slightly smaller than the "100%" version?
For the average gamers, all have a huge collection of "heroic" scale figures.
They usually complained the Perry figures are smaller in size and tend not to use them even though they are very nice. This is also the key reason we make ours a bit larger, yet keeping the proportion more true-to-scale as the Perry's.
If we are to do TRUE 1/56 SCALE figures, they will be around 18% smaller than it is now...

We are looking for a "standard prototype" for our figures so that they will be:
- comparable in size and "feel" with other manufacturers when they are placed together on the gaming table
- look natural enough anatomically in terms of body proportion and scale
- heads to be able to wear "heroic-size" helmets and caps
- hands to be able to hold "exaggerate-scaled" hand weapons
- be able to fit into our vehicles with ease
Not an easy task... but once done, we will be able to churn out figures in various poses with ease!
