Without removing anything...

Good for you. It depends the way you display it. It didn't fit the way I wanted to display it. Without a door, yes. With a door, no.
I'll display it in a Pax. It's a big piece that needs some space.

Ok, I have the old Tombo doors with extra space. Addic, do you have pics displayed with Lara in a Besta?

On vacation right now. Can take pictures in about 1 week.

I finally got mine in a Besta, so I thought I'd share pics if anyone was still curious on the sizing. She fits a lot better than I thought she would, but display options are limited.

The first and second pictures show that the small branch coming off the main trunk is just barely grazing the back wall. I'm OK with that though because it's one of the soft plastic leaf pieces, not the actual statue.

The third picture shows how close she is to the front. It seems too close, but since the doors rest on the outside of the cabinet frame, they don't hit her. If I bring her closer to the front still, the leaf cluster at the front bottom of the trunk hits the glass. Again, it's soft plastic though. I moved her backwards more since it was evident that it was resting on the glass, where the one resting on the back wall is not noticeable.

The fifth picture shows that you pretty much can't turn her. If you want to turn it a bit more to the left, the main trunk hits the back wall. If turned to the right, the branch hitting the back wall in the first photo stops you. You can take that branch off though and not see the connecting hole, but I'd rather have the whole statue displayed. Also, the first pictures show what I would call the optimal viewing position anyway, with Lara on a 3/4 angle.

Based on where I have my light on the ceiling, it throws a somewhat unflattering shadow on her face, but I rarely have the cases lit up. (The room she's in I'm in during the day mainly). The shadow immediately made me think of Seinfeld's "She's a Two-Face" girlfriend. I'll probably have to move my lighting in that one cube.

So, hopefully that helps people out!
