Standard LEGO Minifigure

A standard articulated LEGO minifigure is shown without hair, headgear, accessories or a base plate. LEGO defines the bare figure as four standard bricks tall, while an independent academic study gives 4 cm. Approximate 2.6 × 1.6 cm body-envelope values are retained as descriptive dimensions, but the front view is scaled only from the 4 cm height.

Measurement basis

The 4 cm bare-head height controls scale; the approximate width and depth are descriptive and do not force the silhouette contour.
