No, gotta be bigger than that, I think...the driver figure is twice that of an Action Man. He's a big boy...

To be exact I'd say somewhere between 1/4 and 1/5, depending on how tall you want to make the driver, but it's thereabouts.

I have always thought the rider to be a bit over scale.
1/5 would make the seadoo 12ft6 on a 30 inch model
A tad too long IMHO
