** ''Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy IV'' features a shrink ray as the main driver of its plot. Throughout the episode, shrunken characters (all of whom are seemingly hit by the ray only once each) range from the size of action figures to the size of ants--culminating in the end, where the entire ''town'' is smaller than Plankton.

** Possibly more egregious between seasons. Magnamon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' is adult-sized. The one in ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'' is ''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever a freakish goliath]]''.

* "WesternAnimation/X-Men: The Animated Series": The Sentinels are 21 feet tall according to the art book, however they are hardly depicted with the same size, including what they are physically capable of.

* "X-Men: The Animated Series": The Sentinels are 21 feet tall according to the art book, however they are hardly depicted with the same size, including what they are physically capable of.

* "X-Men: The Animated Series": The Sentinels are 21 feet tall according to the art book, however they are hardly depicted with the same size, including what they are physically capable of. ** At the beggining of the first episode, a Sentinel stands around the second floor of Jubilee's home (which makes sense for 21 feet). However, later in the same episode, the Sentinel attacks a Shopping Mall, standing at the 4th or 5th floor, not to mention the height of each floor is about twice that of a regular house.

* Fang in ''WesternAnimation/{{Primal}}'' is an adult Tyrannosaurus who appears in almost every episode, in action scenes where she's fighting alongside a somewhat short human. Because of this, it can become very evident when the animators have to stretch or squish her size for the sake of the shot. She can be about right for a real rex or significantly larger, but most often seems to end up at about half the size.

* A tip of the hat to ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman'', whose main character never appears to be 50 feet tall. Most of the time she appears to be only two stories high, while in other times she stands almost as tall as an electric pylon, making her about 75 feet at least. As for the famous poster, there she seems to be between 150 and 200 feet.

* WesternAnimation/BattleTech:

* ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog''. Clifford's size widely fluctuates, especially in the TV series. Sometimes Cleo and T-blBone are about knee height to Clifford, sometimes they only come up to his paws. Sometimes Clifford is smaller than the house, sometimes he's bigger. Sometimes he's a bit bigger than the nearby trees, sometimes he's twice as big and the ground can shake as he walks by.

* For ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'', all characters are scaled to be about the same size, apart from a few exceptions (Azmodan, Deathwing, Cho'gall are noticeably bigger, 2 of the lost vikings are smaller), resulting in large devil equivalents Diablo and Mephisto, giant firelord Ragnaros, and a siege tank, among others, being human sized or slightly larger in the Nexus.

* ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog''. Clifford's size widely fluctuates, especially in the tv series. Sometimes Cleo and T-bone are about knee height to clifford, sometimes they only come up to his paws. Sometimes Clifford is smaller than the house, sometimes he's bigger. Sometimes hes a bit bigger than the nearby trees, sometimes he's twice as big and the ground can shake as he walks by.

** This also applies to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' In the introduction FMV to ''Melee'', he was only slightly larger than Samus, comparable to his appearance in ''Super Metroid''. In ''Brawl'' he's about twice her size. When he reappears as Meta-Ridley, he's suddenly smaller than he was before, although still larger than the player character him/herself. After being PromotedToPlayable in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he's shrunken back to his ''Super Metroid'' size.

* Franchise/{{Kirby}} is canonically 8 inches tall, but in ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'', he's only a few inches shorter than Adeleine, an average human girl. In ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'', he stands at a similar height compared to Ado, while also standing higher than the knees of the 6-foot-tall [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]], which would put him closer to 2 or 3 feet tall. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', he is only a bit shorter than the other fighters; for instance, his ''Ultimate'' incarnation is a little over half Mario's height.

* A mild version of this occurs in ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire''. Buck is taller than the average human, but how tall exactly seems to vary a bit, from being about a head taller to what seems like a few feet. There's also one panel with Buck and Hyraxx where Hyraxx seems to be about half of Buck's height, while in all other panels she reaches to his chest. However this is probably because of the angle of the shot (the view in the panel is upward from near floor-level, which messes the perspective somewhat) rather than the relative sizes of the characters changing.

* Everyone agrees that ''ComicBook/IronMan'' foe Boris "The Titanium Man" Bullski is a very large man, but just how big varies issue to issue and sometimes panel to panel. "Last Tango With The Titanium Man" has an especially egregious example, in which Boris is simultaneously larger than a city bus, yet able to fit into an armchair in his hideout.

* General Grievous In ''ComicBook/StarWarsKanan''. His size varies throughout the series, being just really tall to a 12 foot giant.
* The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' comic had the same problems as the cartoons; at the beginning of IDW's run, for example, Metroplex was shown to be large enough that he could [[TrampledUnderfoot stomp a single Decepticon flat]] under his foot (so a couple hundred feet tall) but by the time that ''ComicBook/TheTransformersDarkCybertron'' happened he'd grown so large that the entire [[CoolStarship Rodpod]] (which could easily accommodate half a dozen Autobots with room to spare) could fly into his eye socket without scraping the sides, making Metroplex easily several ''miles'' tall (WordOfGod is that he's 15 kilometers tall in robot mode). Similarly, the various {{Combin|ingMecha}}ers like Devastator and Monstructor were originally depicted as being as large as their individual component robots stacked on top of each other, while by the time that [[spoiler: Prowl]] was made Devastator's head he was depicted as growing to several times his normal size in the process. Still, it was a little better about this than the G1 cartoon: size changing is an explicit power that Transformers have, so it's not super insane when Megatron changes into a gun in one shot and is then much smaller when wielded in the next. In fact, ''tremendous'' use is made of out of otherwise laughable transformations because they offer house-sized robots a way to pass disguised.

* The [[Characters/XMenSentinels Sentinels]] from ''ComicBook/XMen''. They can be taller than a house or just twice as large as a normal human. Of course, there are dozens upon dozens of different-model Sentinels in the 'verse, so it only really becomes JustForFun/{{egregious}} when it's the ''same'' Sentinel (such as the one shown in the page image).

* [[ComicBook/OfficialHandbookOfTheMarvelUniverse Marvel's Official Handbooks]] are a handy reference point for every fanboy who wants something to argue over. By way of an example, Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}} has been consistently listed as 5'3" (160 cm), and [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Jubilee]] an inch or two (2.5-5 cm) taller. Despite this Wolverine tends to tower over Jubilee, to the point where she must be about 4'6" (137 cm). When they stand next to other characters, their height tends to appear more as listed.
* UsefulNotes/{{The Silver Age|OfComicBooks}} [[CityInABottle bottled city]] of Kandor was blatantly subject to this. It was a shrunken city where the buildings were visibly several inches tall. That scale would mean the city would only be a block or so in size, yet the people in it were microscopic and the city was a whole city of millions of inhabitants. The inhabitants themselves suffered this, too; when outside the bottle they could go from microscopic (to the point where Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}} needed his telescopic vision to see them) to an inch tall.

* Doll Man's [[SizeShifter shrinking ability]] is supposed to be limited to switching between his normal height and 6 inches (15 cm) tall, but he has been portrayed anywhere from a few inches to a couple of feet tall, often varying in size within a single story. One comic cover shows him large enough to be tied to separate bathtub faucet knobs, while another cover has him smaller than a handgun.
* [[http://misterkitty.org/extras/stupidcovers/stupidcomics120.html A Sylvester and Tweety comic book story from Gold Key Comics]] has the (very OffModel) Sylvester constantly shifting in size throughout the comic, to the point where in one panel he is apparently fifteen feet (4.5 m) tall and towering over humans like a giant.
* In ''ComicBook/WelcomeToTheJungle'', Will's height can vary from coming up to Dresden's nose (Since Dresden is canonically 6'9", that would make her around 6'4") to coming up to Dresden's shoulder (Making her around 5'10") -- over the course of two pages.

* Franchise/{{Kirby}} is canonically 8 inches tall, but in ''VideoGame/Kirby64'', he's only a few inches shorter than Adeleine, an average human girl. In ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'', he stands at a similar height compared to Ado, while also standing higher than the knees of the 6-foot-tall [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]], which would put him closer to 2 or 3 feet tall. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', he is only a bit shorter than the other fighters; for instance, his ''Ultimate'' incarnation is a little over half Mario's height.
