Proportions of limbs/hands/torsos/heads being very different than the human norm. The bodies and legs are shorter than they should be. All the figure brands, going all the way back to Grenadier and Partha, are like that. Now try and find a Figure made by anybody that is seven of its own heads tall. Count how tall they are in heads (use their head: chin to crown of the head). Real people do exhibit a greater variety of height than Reaper’s figures. The older figures for the most part are photographed with Bryangles (the things poking into the picture, usually on the right) with the triangles being at 1/2" and 1" height.Īnd I seem to recall that mentioned something about properly measuring the figures, ongoing effort and such, not sure what became of that.įour celebrities in poster form to the left a real woman (the world’s tallest model) on the right. (She is 6ft 8”) The newer releases contain the M and B cubes which are 1/4" in height (which is not superusable but it gives an impression). Older, especially the metal figures seem to be more in line of 25mm (feet to eye). In my experience the recent bones figures have grown a lot. So that is not totally out of the 28mm 'heroic' scale. Ut Ailene is 34mm high which is quite a difference.Īilene being 34mm to the top includes hair and a cowl, and she might be taler (we are talking averages here with a body height of 1.75m and h2b of 1/7.5). (the big one) If Ailene and Nienna are typical of the range then why are Reaper advertising their figures at 28mm scale when they blatantly are not? Why not just list them at 32mm scale like they are? Surely there must be other collectors that have been disappointed like I have? (ok - that was 3 questions in one there :)Īgain, I have to say they are fantastically well produced minis so no complaint there. If there is variation, then is there any way of knowing how tall a figure is before I buy one? Nature Warden is a lot smaller than those two so is there a lot of variation within the Reaper Mini range? Do Ailene and Nienna just happen to be oversized and are most Reaper Minis closer to 28mm scale? I can just about get away with Ailene being a particularly large lady but Nienna really doesn't match up with the rest of my collection.īut I love the quality of Reaper Minis and would like to buy more so here are my questions:. The differences may appear negligible to some people and I know some people don't really mind variations in scale but I have a collection of 200 figures from various manufacturers at 28mm scale and they all look good together (I am not sure how tall she is in mm as she is crouching but she looks like a different scale to me) I would say that Ailene is of the 32mm scale not 28mm.īut then I also got Nature Warden who, although over 30mm tall appears to be closer to the 28mm scale and when you compare her to Ailene she looks smaller in scale:-Īnd then if you compare Nature Warden and my wizard with the figure Nienna then Nienna is really LARGE compared to either of them. The wizard is 28mm high (ignoring the hat) but Ailene is 34mm high which is quite a difference.īut of course its not so much the height as the scale of the figures that is different. Here is a photo of Ailene next to a 28mm figure of mine. The site says they are 28mm but the ones I have bought appear to be of different scales. However, I am somewhat confused as to what scale they are supposed to be. Hi, first of all I would say that Reaper Minis are gorgeous things and wonderfully crafted.
