Figurine Size Guide: Choosing 100–200 mm Models

A product's millimetre measurement is a useful start, but it does not describe the whole space a figurine needs. Height, width, depth and projecting details all affect where it will fit.

Use this guide to compare the current meou range. The quoted measurement for Reefback is approximately 100 mm in length; the upright figures below are listed by height. These are physical dimensions, not a shared tabletop gaming scale.

The range at a glance

• Reefback: coral sea turtle, approximately 100 mm long (10 cm).
• The Wayfarer: meerkat adventurer, approximately 150 mm tall (15 cm).
• The Voyager: penguin adventurer, approximately 150 mm tall (15 cm).
• The Crimson Covenant: dragon and sorceress, approximately 180 mm tall (18 cm).
• The Lunar Sentinel: astronaut, approximately 200 mm tall (20 cm).
• The Oathkeeper: knight, approximately 200 mm tall (20 cm).
• The Verdant Archer: elven ranger, approximately 200 mm tall (20 cm).

For a desk or a small display area

Start by looking at the full footprint. Reefback has a low, horizontal form, so its length is more useful than imagining a 10 cm tall standing figure. Coral and flippers need room around them, and the model should sit fully on the surface.

The 150 mm Wayfarer and Voyager offer upright character pieces. Compare their silhouettes with the space beside your books or monitor. Leave enough clearance to move a hand around the base without catching neighbouring objects.

For a fantasy or science-fiction display

The 200 mm Oathkeeper and Verdant Archer can form the starting point for a fantasy shelf. The 180 mm Crimson Covenant adds a dragon-and-sorceress composition; do not assume the lower height means a narrower footprint, particularly where wings are involved.

The Lunar Sentinel offers a different subject at 200 mm, with an orbital ring and a detailed base. Measure the opening of a display cabinet as well as the shelf inside it, and allow clearance around projecting details.

Which size should a beginner paint?

Bigger surfaces can make brush access easier, but a larger model may also have more detail and take longer. A small model with open, clearly separated areas can be a comfortable project; a small face or intricate coral can require a fine brush.

Choose a subject and colour scheme you enjoy. Look closely at the product images for the parts you will actually paint rather than choosing only by the headline measurement. Our beginner's painting guide explains a simple sequence from preparation to finishing.

Measure in three directions

1. Measure the clear height above the shelf, including any door opening.
2. Check the depth and width available for the base and any overhanging details.
3. Leave room to lift the model by its base and to clean around it.

If the listing does not give a dimension you need, ask us before ordering. A ruler held against the intended space is more reliable than estimating size from a lifestyle photograph.

One piece or a group?

A single figure with some empty space around it is an easy starting point. For a group, try placing the tallest piece towards the back and offsetting the others so their faces and main details remain visible. Similar colours can connect different subjects; a shared theme can connect different sizes.

Choose the finish as well as the size

Select White Print if you want to prime and paint the figurine yourself. Select Hand-Painted for a finished piece painted by us. Read the current product page and shipping information when planning a gift, because these pieces are made to order.
