What is Scale Size?

What do all the sizes mean and how do I know what size set I have?
The sizes are equivalent to the tallest standing figure. If a standing king is about 5 inches tall, that means you have a 5 inch set. All the figures are based upon a scale size.
A 5 inch scale infant Jesus won't be 5 inches, the baby is about 2 inches long.
A kneeling 5 inch scale figure will not be 5 inches tall either. That figure will be proportional to the 5 inch standing figure.
If you have a 5 inch set, you want to stay with all 5 inch stables, buildings, accessories etc...
The rule above is the same for all of the Fontanini® size's.
