I actually quite like the difference in size. They look like they can pack a punch, but without being troll like huge.
And, as mentioned by others before, this is a ream absolutly changing my perspective with the Undes/Necros. Very nice models, making it worthwile saving up some money to invest..

OK, so the question was more like if they would remake the already made. I guess they will keep on with the old versions. Maybe they can confirm.

As for being troll sized:

Maybe trolls should be ~60mm? :)

Ok, here is my idea for what they should look like to be in scale with the ghouls+zombies

Flesh Golem now:

Flesh Golem reduced to 85%:

Werewolf now

Werewolf reduced to 85%:

Actually, the wolf could probably be a bit smaller.
Here he is reduced to 80% (same shoulder height as the zombie).

Yeah, nicer with Frankys that are only a head taller and a wolfs that are like the zombies. Mummies should also be smaller, probably more like 80% than 85%, based in the Frankys.

Do a crowdsourcer with both options and see which one people vote with their wallets for :)

I actually have the first Frankie from maybe a year or two ago when he was a tournament fig. He is all alone and waiting for his teammates to be purchased at the moment, but I just wanted to chime in and say that he looks great on the field.

I think it is important to consider that he was likely created to stand and look good with the Willy's undead teams as well as regular sized teams. He looks fine next to my GW human team as he is meant to be a big boy. He still seems smaller than my GW ogre. So bigger than Str 3 and smaller than Str 5. Seems fine to me.

I can't speak to the wolves' size but really, they are the stars of the team and should be more prominent anyway, shouldn't they? They still look smaller than the Willy's wolves to be sure.

SOLD!

I love the height difference in the figures. It makes them look "stronger" without being massive. Well done.

Nice models but I agree with the complaints about scale. The flesh golem is enormous. Absolutely enormous. It's only a strength 4 model, it's NOT a big guy. And wolves are strength 3... the fact that the zombies, ghouls and wights seem to have been kept nicely in scale only serves to highlight the jump even further.

Some don't mind, and that's fine, I'm not saying I'd flip the table in sheer disgust if someone put these down in front of me. But those positionals are just too big for my liking.

Agree with nonumber - I'm planning to place an order for the undead option, but the wolves and golems don't really work for me scale wise.

Yup, definitely planning to get these guys as an Undead team. Would love to expand it to Necro too, but the Golems and Wolves are just too big for me.
