As a big fan of dragons, I'd like to first say that my absolute favorite versions of the chromatics are by Paizo and I am equally thrilled with their scaling (Not just that large is a 2" base, huge is a 3", and gargantuan is 4", but in how the individual minis' sizing is more realistic within each size category)
To date we have huge versions of the black, white, and red as well as gargantuan blue and green (representation for all colors) and hopefully we'll one day see them all in all their glorious sizes. (which may not be long given how quickly Paizo has been releasing them)
That said, I've been pondering why the huge black dragon promo is considerably smaller than her huge red and huge white cousins and have come up with some possible answers...
1) the black was made earlier on, before Paizo solidified their scaling benchmarks.
2) the sizing was intentional and the black dragons simply ARE smaller than their chromatic cousins. ie: reds and whites are bigger/more muscular than the blacks, and greens are shorter/stockier
3) Answer number one is correct and my level of nerdish inquiry deserves a stoning at the hands of angry villagers.
4) Answer number one is correct and Paizo may decide to ret-con answer number 2 into official Pathfinder dragon lore. eg: black dragons are the smallest, sneakiest, and most dispicable ones..
Interested in knowing if anyone else shares my curiosities? :)
