5'6. So at 1/4 scale she's 16.5 inches. In this case, she really hunched over, so maybe 13-14 inches. I can see why people would think she's smaller when pictured alongside people.

Correct...might not be exactly 1/4, but imho it's really damn close...isn't this gorgeous statue close to 20" tall?

What are you talking, man?

The whole piece is 18 inches tall according to WETA. If that is true then Lara is only about 11 inches tall (hunched over). Just check all the pictures. Even if you add 1-2 inches as she is hunched over then this is far from 1:4 scale.

I'm really wondering when reading all these posts in here if some people really know what 1:4 scale means.

If this statue is truly only just over 18" then it looks to me a 1/5 piece...I thought it was close to 20" tall...if she's 5ft 6" then at 1/5 scale she would be 13.2 inches tall(standing straight)

We discussed this in a facebook group they even made metrics on the image lol and there's no way this is 1/4 scale being 46 cm tall with the tree and the base.

There's a huge difference between 1/5 and 1/4 in a statue like this one. Weta should clarify this ASAP.

"Thank you for your patience. our Production Team are currently speaking with Square Enix for further confirmation on the size of the Lara Croft Statue.

Once we hear back I will let you know.

Regards, Anika*

Fingers crossed they will do the right thing and correct that.

25" tall makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the update.
