Upfront, I should say this is an article about scale more than it is about wanting the Legion. I want the Legion, but I also think they're already somewhere in Mattel's game plan. So this article is going to jump ahead to how to do the Legion. Specifically, how tall to make them. My concern is born out of figures like Beast Boy, OYL Robin, and the Wonder Twins. Mattel's few forays into teenaged characters has been troubled at best.
Now, I know that scale can be a sensitive subject among toy collectors. Some of us don't seem to mind at all while others can be downright unwilling to buy a figure that is out-of-scale with the others. For the most part, I don't mind DC Classics handful of scale issues so far.
