For 28mm-30mm human figures, what would their size be?

That is, IF one was to get away with sculpting a small band of those Ewok-like little critters.

Or should I just add big eyes and clip the tails off a bunch of Waggamaephs?

I would say 6 to 7 mm tall.

Cheers,

That is tiny but, I suppose, it also goes along with the description in the novel "Little Fuzzy":

"He turned quickly to see two wide eyes staring up at him out of a ball of golden fur. Whatever it was, it had a round head and big ears and a vaguely humanoid face with a little snub nose. It was sitting on its haunches, and in that position it was about a foot high. It had two tiny hands with opposing thumbs."

Hmm.

Honestly, you probably should. These would be really tiny.

Unless you want them to be, you know, accurate or something.

6-8 mm should be accurate.
please measure from the bottom of the foot to the top of the head =P
measuring to the eye would just be silly in this case.

I recall buying a load of Fuzzies via internet on the cheap a few years ago; I cannot recall where though – Eureka?

In fact, I still have them in a drawer.

I have a few of them. They're about 15mm at most. Very nicely done too.

Cacique Caribe27 Nov 2008 12:07 p.m. PST

Gents,

Would either one of you be willing to sell me one of each variant?

Thanks.

That'd make a great movie, or even mini-series.

Cacique Caribe13 Feb 2009 4:33 p.m. PST

If only GZG, or someone as enterprising, gave it a shot and made 15mm non-fuzzies with little spears and such . . .

. . . perhaps some 6-8 variants of them?

Even at 15mm in height, they would look so cool outnumbering the poor humans.

I think the key characteristic to maintain is their prominent and penetrating eyes, don't you think?

I had (have? it may still be in a box somewhere) one of the Archive ones from way back – I think it was around 10-12mm tall.

Cacique Caribe16 Feb 2009 12:35 a.m. PST

Jon,

What does it look like?

Anything like this?

Very much like the pics, as far as I can recall – especially the shape of the blade weapon; I assume it was sculpted from (sorry, "inspired by"…. <GRIN>) these very paintings.

As I recall, the archive figures were about half the height of a 25mm figure. From the artwork, you might be able to convert a 6mm figure if you can work with things that small.

I guess someone has saved me the trouble of sculpting my own . . .

Looks like these would work great as Ewoks and Fuzzies:

How about these 20mm fellas?

SimonF14 Aug 2009 5:23 p.m. PST

From the pictures at the top, it looks like they should be about 5-6mm to be properly "in scale" (but maybe not proportioned like a 6mm mini).

The 20mm wookiees are probably too big, and maybe too advanced/militaristic to fit with the spear-wielding teddy bears. Also not cute enough.

GEM's ewoks are a better match. You probably won't find anything better – they're only 10mm to the top of the head, suitably cute and not too advanced in technology.

Would love to see someone make several 10-12mm tall, done just like this, but in 5-6 poses:
