How tall do you like your turtles

*PApagreg* · 08-15-2013, 10:18 AM

A tiny bit shorter than the average male for me

Justin · 08-15-2013, 10:24 AM

Small enough to cuddle and hold.

Somewhere just under or around five feet tall, maybe a few inches taller. Depends on which Turtle, as I like the idea of them all being different heights, but that's the general area I like for all of them. Short but kickass, like Wolverine.

*NinjaMan* · 08-15-2013, 10:43 AM

I like them short like they were in all 3 animated series.

~~ABrown~~ · 08-15-2013, 10:50 AM

Short, but taller than Master Splinter. Which is probably my biggest problem that I have with the Nickelodeon series.

Why is that even a problem?

Around 5 feet tall.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-15-2013, 01:56 PM

I'd say about 5'6", give or take. Reason being, I'm 5' tall myself, and it's hard for most people to take someone my height seriously, and that would be even more true in a battle. Everyone underestimates the little guy(gal), or just flat out treats them as a non-threat. Trust me. I've proven it many times in personal experience. So I'd say they should be about 5 1/2 feet, just to make them seem a little more like a legitimate threat. But still a bit short.

*Zulithe* · 08-15-2013, 02:03 PM

6" scale is my favorite scale for action figures. for me it's the best balance of overall size, allowing for a good level of sculpting, paint apps and joints. Once you start getting larger they quickly take up tons of space. For example, Hot Toys look incredible but you'd need a lot of space to display more than just a few. I do love Hot Toys but 6" is still better for me :3

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-15-2013, 02:04 PM

Um, I think they were talking about the characters, not the toys.....

*Refractive Reflections* · 08-15-2013, 04:21 PM

I think also we may have to consider that these are teenage males, so they could grow an extra 3-5 inches more (at least with human males

) when they reach adulthood. Just a thought...

*BabyTurtles* · 08-15-2013, 04:25 PM

around 5 feet with Mikey being 4'9

...basically as tall as the nick turtles XD

At least for me, I think of Splinter as being short. Imagine if someone went and made Yoda from Star Wars tall. That's how I feel about Splinter being tall.

*Icebot* · 08-15-2013, 04:37 PM

I like them tall, like they were in Red Sky from the first cartoon, maybe a little shorter than the 4kids ones.

I feel more or less the same way, too.

Well they're trying to go for a different interpretation of him. A guy who is a little less spiritual and is much more militaristic. You know, like a calm drill sergeant.
