Subject: Regular Space Marines are still a thing in 10th, right?
According to my scale comparisons, the SMH models are as tall as the 2022 MKVI marines, but their hands are larger and they look like they skipped leg day, the thighs are longer than oldmarines but just as skinny. I consider them to be an "intermediary" rescale. Wait for the new HH plastic infantry coming out this year if you want to see properly rescaled Power Armour is my advise.
Firstborn were being re-scaled prior to the introduction of Primaris, as seen with the Heroes series, Deathwatch Veterans etc., which is why the 'They had to make Primaris to make Marines truescale' argument has always been obvious bunk.

I wouldn't put it past GW to ride the nostalgia and sell a rescaled kit in maybe 5 years?
The regular tactical squad seem slightly larger than those to me. I bought a tactical squad a couple of those things just so I had some kit-bashing parts. Those red HH ones seems a little bit smaller (and thinner). But I haven't fully assembled one so I don't have a direct comparison.
I bought the space marine heroes back in 2019, they where in blue colored plastic. They are definitely bigger then the tactical squad marines, I believe the same size as the HH Mk. VI. I have no idea about the new ones' size, I would have thought they are the same size as the old ones but apparently not? There are some comparison pictures floating around somewhere online.
Yes, it does look that way. I guess I was just mistaken.
