So, to check minifig height variations, I get minifig height ranging between
roughly 34mm and 49.6mm. For an average, I figured you've got choices for:
legs, torso, neck accessories, head, and hair.
Legs:
9.6mm - Stubbies(tm)
16.0mm - Standard Legs
19.2mm - Minifig skirt
Torso:
12.8mm - Standard torso
Neck Accessories: Generally about 1.1mm, some things were larger (like the
UFO armor), but prevented other things from stacking. Beards oddly enough
didn't add as much, but still allowed stacking for some things... didn't
check the cloth capes. I figured between 0-3 1.1mm back accessories
Head:
11.6mm - Regular head (plus stud)
Hair:
Lots of choices, I checked:
+0.0mm - No hair
+0.9mm - Standard male hair
+2.7mm - Harry Potter hair
+1.4mm - Standard pony tail (minus the actual ponytail)
+1.4mm - Semi-standard neck length straight cut
+1.9mm - Qui Gon's hair
+1.4mm - Padme's hair
+2.3mm - Leia's hair
Amazingly oddly enough, after averaging these out, I got about 41.7mm, which
is just .3mm off from the original guess of 42mm... So as if I weren't
persnickity enough, assuming a US distribution (avg height of 5.525 feet [no
assumptions on age, note]), we get "best" measurement approximations:
1 minifig foot = 7.5475mm
1 minifig meter = 24.7622mm
So apart from feeling rather silly for having done all that, I'm rather
pleased that it came out pretty close... (unless I messed up somewhere)
