Pulp City minis are supposed to 32mm scale, larger than most of the Impact! and FF 29mm mini lines, though perhaps not excessively overlarge.
Edit: Are Rackham Confrontation minis 32mm scale too?

The only one I have is Chimp Chi. I assumed he was 28mm...but it's so hard to tell.
What is the difference between 32mm and Grandma Wendy's "heroic" 28mm? 
It seems like mini scales are all subjective anymore

Very little. Unfortunately most of the FF stuff was sculpted before the "heroic" era. Then the newer stuff seems to be in whatever scale the sculptor felt like that day.

Privateer are really awful when it comes to scale. Some of their miniatures are completely wrong - Kell Bailoch and the Black 13th Gun mages are tiny, the Ogrun Bokur is HUGE.
And don't get me started on the latest POS they've produced for Khador...
I used to be a PP fanboy, but they've done nothing but disappoint me the last 18 months or so, in so many ways. |

Scale is a good subject to discuss. I see most of the 28/29mm scale minis are measured to the eyes for human "Scale", but some are measured to the top of the head and then the other races are adjusted to that scale, but there seems to be so much variation, even within the same manufacture.
What is the correct method of "Scaling"?

Ive always read the correct way is to the eyes of a human sized mini then adjusted for bigger and smaller models accordingly.

ALL scaling in miniatures should be done to the eyes.
Standard Impact! uses is 28mm to the eyes is a standard 5' 10" human.
