Often, 6" items are said to be 1/12 scale, meaning an inch equals a foot. So, if 6" scale means 1/12, then at 5.4" Kong would be a gorilla just over 5 foot tall in real life. Does 6 inch scale mean 1/12, probably not, but what would it mean?
Technically, a character that is six-feet tall is six inches tall in plastic form at 6" scale. That is 1/12 scale, as well, but the imperial units are the standard, whereas Japanese toy manufacturers who make 1/12 scale figures are working in units of mm, cm, and meters. They should be the same. The issue is that the term "6-inch scale" gets kind misused fairly often in the toy industry. GI Joe Classified, Marvel Legends, Star Wars: Black Series, and Mythic Legions are all referred to as being "6-inch scale figures" when they're clearly all different scales.Edit: You're clearly speaking rhetorically at the end there. I answered the question very literally. The point is that the term is misused a lot, sometimes egregiously, and this is just the latest example.

I got the original MM King Kong in 2001. I think it looks better.

Guys always exaggerate inches
I question how this King Kong is "6-inch scale" when it's only 5.4 inches tall.
This would be a very cool Kong figure had it not been a statue and was articulated, Kong looked cool in this movie, as a static thing this is underwhelming.
