They're great, but why is Dracula the size of Eddie Munster?

Most character sets are calculated to take the same weight of raw material.  It's how they average out their cost/profit ratio for each unit.   Dracula uses a lot of his porcelain to make his wide-spread cape - means his body needs to be smaller.

I hate that manufacturers do that.  That is why when you get Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird premiums in kids' meals they are not in scale.  Manufacturer uses the same amount of plastic in both.

The people making these decisions need a beating.  Dracula looks ridiculous.

Well, they do kinda' all look ridiculous. The positive thing about them is more just that they come in a cake.
