Response to I left out 1/9 scale figures
The most common scales work out as following (working off of 72in or 180cm)

Scale mm in
1/4 = 450mm = 18in
1/6 = 300mm = 12in
1/9 = 200mm = 8in
1/12 = 150mm = 6in
1/16 = 120mm = 4.5in
1/20 = 90mm = 3.5in
1/24 = 75mm = 3in (commonly also used for 1/25)
1/32 = 54mm = 2.25in
1/35 = 52mm = 2in
1/48 = 38mm = 1.5in
1/72 = 25mm = 1in
1/76 = 24mm = 1in
1/87 = 20mm = .8in
1/120 = 15mm = .6in [wargaming scale]

Hope this helps,
Mika
