Why are these 36" Retro Freddys called 36"?

These measurements aren't 100% accurate, but they're pretty damn close.

Why are these Freddys called 36" when they're really 25"-30"?

6" Retro Freddys are 6"-7" measured from their feet to the top of their head/crown

I wondered the same thing back when I bought two of them.

Two possibilities:
1. Maybe the mold is 36"
2. 36" sounds better than 25-30"

My guesses...

maybe they were intended to be a 6x version of the 6" freddy but someone's math was off.

OR

I did find s& h would have been a lot more if it had really been 36" so maybe they scaled it down 1x to reduce the freight cost. Yes these have to be shipped as freight.

Are you measuring from the top or the bottom?

For those who care, Freddy has a boyish 20" waist. He also has no crotch, since his legs are fuzed together. Poor Freddy :(
