Character Height Chart

[Darxide]

So after rediscovering the Turtles only 2 months ago, and catching up on every episode, I'm ready to get started on some custom figures and props. I have a ton of reference and 1080 screen grabs I took but I can't seem to find a good (somewhat higher res) height chart for the series. I have a bunch of the concept art which kind of gives an idea of heights but nothing amazing (or official).

So, is there one floating around I'm missing or has anyone started on this before I do?

I'm looking/going for something like this -





I was looking for these type of shots for awhile but the best I can find end up all being tiny -



Thanks guys!

The problem that you're going to face is that there are various height charts, all from official sources, that contradict each other.

I think Mikey is about 5'0", but that's all I know of for sure. I think the best way is to any listed heights off of the concept art, and try to scale the rest from there.

Absolutely, that's why I said that the stuff I had was nothing awesome because I noticed that at least two of the official charts contradicted each other and one it was clear that it was just point blank not even close to the actual size.

I was more so looking for higher res shots of the pictures they use for the official charts so I can go and mock one up for those of us interested.

You may have seen this tumblr already, but in case you haven't - tmntbehindthescenes.tumblr.com They post a bunch of behind the scenes art for quite a few different characters.

I hadn't seen that. I'm not a big tumblr guy so I miss out on a lot of that stuff. Awesome stuff on there. Thanks Meliwen!

I can only find this:




Leatherhead's concept art has Mikey at 5'0 and The Creep's has Donnie at 5'8.

That's funny seeing this, I thought Raph was the shortest of the Turtles, not Mikey. I also secretly have always preferred Leo to be the tallest, but oh well.

I dunno, the height difference doesn't seem that noticeable on the show. Donatello is definitely taller, but only by like maybe half an inch.

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

Why worry about scaling to actual size? Playmates surely doesn't. LOL!

I run that, and that's why I've seen all the different heights There are my estimations based off all the artwork I have.

April 5'1"
Baxter in his suit 10'0" (normal) 15'0" (extended height)
Casey Jones 5'6"
Cockroach Terminator 2nd Version 7'8"
Creep 7'0"
Donnie 5'8" listed as on one artwork but I think it's more 5'6" to match Casey
Justin (Octo Mutant Squid thingy) 15'0"
Leo I think possibly 5'2"
Leatherhead 8'0"
Mikey 5'0"
Mondo Gecko 4'0"
Muckman 6'1" (fully upright - but he's usually stooped over)
Pulverizer/Timothy 6'0" (listed as "roughly")
Raph 5'0" > 5'1" taller than Mikey but shorter than April
Shredder 6'7"
Slash 6'0"
Splinter 6'5"
Traag 20'0"

If anyone would like any more characters please list them and I'll have a closer look at the T-Pose diagrams to see if they show up. Obviously this is all guesswork but you can easily adapt it.

Thanks kelligrafie. I have the next 3 days off from work so I'll be working on this and I should have quite a bit done by Wednesday.

According to this -



Yes.

Here's a PDF of my height chart so far. If I forgot a character or you have info to add please let me know. Also, concept art for the characters missing heights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
