That's using the Poser 6+ measuring system. Before that (and to a large extent still, even in content made for more recent versions of Poser) the common systems were 1 Poser unit = 8 feet (96") and 1 Poser unit = 100 inches. DAZ worked to the 1PNU=8' scale, by which V4 is still tall at 5'10" or so but not as extreme as 6'2".

You're saying she was only 5'10" in Poser 5 and earlier? That isn't much comfort! Since I don't use Poser 5, I need Michael to be about 7 feet tall to make Vicky look the right size standing next to him.

I guess it doesn't matter so much if EVERYTHING is scaled for a 6'2" Vicky. But why make the scale so out of whack to begin with? Just fix the damn measuring system if that is the problem.
