How Tall Is a Minifigure?

A standard minifigure is about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) tall — roughly four standard bricks high — measured from the feet to the top of the head, not counting hats or hair. With headgear, the total height is a little more.

This consistent size is the same for name-brand and quality compatible figures, which is exactly why parts and accessories interchange so freely. It also helps when sizing vehicles, buildings, and dioramas — you build everything to look right next to a 4 cm figure. Browse Brick Bros minifigures built to the standard size.
