well it depends on what the figure is meant for... the figures we do are designed to fit the many medieval sets from Zvezda and Italeri. At the basic figure is the Livonian Knights from Zvezda which has an average heigh of 24mm.

1.80 meters isn't that tall, only 5 foot 11 inches in US measurement. I'd expect someone who weilded an axe that large to be a big man themselves.

This is a beautiful sculpt and should perfectly fit e.g. Zvezda's figures which tend to be on the tall side too.

BTW as far as I know PSR is just one person (forgot his name). So don't take everything at face value what he is saying. While in the middle ages people tended to be smaller than they are today 1,80 m was still not so unlikely as a size. Would be a modern man of 1,95-2,00 m or so.
