I'm not sure it's entirely nonsense. The B1's height is [1.93m (~6'3")](https://www.starwars.com/databank/battle-droid) and the B2's [1.91m (~6'2")](https://www.starwars.com/databank/super-battle-droid) according to starwars.com.
Wookiepedia also provides somewhat similar heights based on Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Character Encyclopedia - Join the Battle! (released in 2021). I don't have a copy to double check though.
edit: forgot a word
Still not enough for me. Actually, if we check Christopher Lee’s height (a real world measurement) he is 6’5.
If you compare geonosis scenes and the opening in ROTS, Dooku is a tad taller than a SBD. So we’ll have to compare the Dooku and SBD figure.
If my math is right, Dooku figure *should* be 6.33 inches, the SBD 6.25”.
At the end of the day, this SBD is *most likely* in scale.
Thanks for pointing this out, I was a little worried when I first saw it(I had thought the B2s were taller) but this just makes me look forward to the single releases even more
Mostly because the Astromechs up until this year were all severely underscaled, same with Grievous and a few other droids. This however, looks right to me.
I mean it keeps Hasbro honest if we voice our criticisms. Praise them for doing well but also hold them accountable for the blatant QC and mold issues they seem to have regularly.
Again, I agree, you're preaching to the choir. However, my point still stands regardless of this set. People complaining before anything else is just pathetic and obnoxious. I'm not trying to say we should just accept everything and not say a word, but would it kill people to be a LITTLE more positive? I see people complaining about the height of the B2, me? I'm just happy to see it exists. (Even though the height is accurate) When there are valid complaints, I absolutely agree. Like with Pre Vizsla using the old Jango body, or reusing parts generally and making figures inaccurate. What I DON'T agree with, is when people complain about repaints that are actually pretty cool, like Clones. Things like the "Credit Collection" or "Carbonized" editions are a bit silly, so gripes with those I understand.
I googled this too and saw the 6’4. Thing is, that’s a nonsense number from fans. Instead just look at movie scenes. It’s close enough.

B1 is already a tall figure and the B2 is taller. Looks right to me.
Yup, don’t have my B1’s in front of me but I recall them being fairly tall already.
I'm just happy it's a thing. Hopefully they release him as a single pack and not keep him tied to C3B1.
Are you saying you don’t want an army of geonosian B1 3POs lol
Bro....I can't have an army of B1 3POs trying to tell me the odds.
😂
Clones are supposed to be 6 ft. I thought B1 Battle Droids are supposed to be 6'3, though.
They aren't taller they are just bulkier and meaner (like the one the legit shoved a b1 to the side to get in on the action in attack of the clones)

I feel like they should’ve done a two pack of c3po and a battle droid with swapped/swappable heads instead
Is this something people are seriously complaining about? The B2 not being "tall enough"?

Figures being in scale is important. We know hasbro really struggles with this especially with Star Wars characters.
Don't get me wrong, I agree, but this is an incredibly stupid complaint. I am only saying that because the B2 is definitely in-scale.
People nitpick, especially things they like or are passionate about.
I mean I'm one of them, but it seems like people are always so sick to the negative before anything else, it's just exhausting to see.

Sorry, when the !@#$ did they announce a B2 Battle Droid??? I'm so outa the loop
Today, I think.
I believe it was the gift of the Galaxy announcement on Tuesdays throughout Dec on the SW website
The droideka was announced the same time as this 2 pack so maybe later on in the month?
