With the stress mark mine has straight out of the package, I can attest that Jazz isn't quite up to par in plastic quality and Shockwave's plastic, I've found has a wierd rubbery quality that I'm not used to (most figures I have, seem to have a shinier, slightly harder plastic).
That said, Jazz's size, in a sad way, actually works as he'll now be more in scale with WFC Optimus Prime.
As for sizes in general, if anyone has kept track over the last 2 decades, sizes for "Deluxe" class figures have varied greatly.
We think they have shrunk because the Unicron Trilogy toys through to the first movie lines were much bigger, but the new figs are actually closer to the size of Deluxe Beast Wars figures. [TM Tarantulas is actually shorter than the Deluxe Prime figures (including Knockout). Though they do weigh less due to changes materials over the last 15 years.]
