Well, saying 1/4 might be a bit of a stretch, but look at the length of the two boots together. It's not like the difference is off by a millimeter, it's has to be at least a quarter inch or more. That's a lot.
My point is, why make new ones at all? They were done already, they would just have to be made in red.
I saw the Jor-el body with just the suit and I think that would have worked. I don't know why they would redo it.
With Zod, I wasn't thinking about the armor, or how and if it comes off, but he does wear the same suit as Kal and Jor-el underneath. So which body would they use? Which suit? One of them is still going to be off.
It isn't like these characters are from different movies, they're all from the same film. Shouldn't there be consistancy in size and scale?
