Note: It is "body proportion" rather than "scale".

I know that the PSM is 3.8cm tall and the new MK6 is 3.5cm tall, and both of them are ALMOST the true scale.

But there is always a feeling that in terms of body proportion, MK6 and PSM seem to be different. What to say, PSM seems to be closer to the real scale than the new MK6, and the arms and thighs are thicker. In contrast, the new MK6 will still have the impression of the old SM but with longer thighs, and the lengthened thighs give a feeling of slender or feminine.

another strange thing is that new CSM's special weapons and heavy weapons can be fit on PSM torsol, but the new MK6's special weapons and heavy weapons seem unable to fit on PSM.

It's weird that when the 'truescale' Primaris were released, they were (are) explicitly described as being significantly taller than Firstborn, but now upscaled Firstborn are basically the same height, making Primaris the wrong size again...

2022 MKVI thighs are longer than manlet marines, but they are also thicker. The hands are also smaller. IMHO they are proportioned just right.

I have no opinion about Primaris, they're aight (well, some of them are, the rest are derp) but can never be superior to the OG, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. To someone like me, MKVI will always be the GOAT

Funny enough, that got retconned in the most recent lore, Primaris aren't standing a whole head and shoulders above Firstborn anymore, they're now only marginally taller, so they're scaled correctly.

Ah yes, the MK6 Marines with their power armored hands that are smaller than the new Cadians.

Yeah, I was working on a conversion, and I was shocked at how much bigger the hands from the old 3rd edition marines was than the MK7's.

Cadians have always had oversized hands and heads, so I'm not surprised
