Corner (^▽^)/

This time"scale"This is a story about...

 

*By the way, the "figure" mentioned here is

This refers to "beautiful girl scale figure."

 

What is scale?

Scale refers to the size of the figure.

For example, if you look at the product page on Amazon,

After the product name"1/7"It says:

This is the scale.

This indicates a fraction of the actual size.

The smaller the number on the denominator (right side),

Remember, it's big!

 

Figures shown at this scale

"Scale Figure"He says that...

Nendoroid, figma, etc.

"Action figures",

The deformed figure is

Non-scaleIt is said that.

 

So-calledStatue Figure,

In other words, a figure with a fixed pose

"Scale Figure"

Just remember that and you'll be fine.

 

 

The most commonly used sizes for scale figures are:

"1/7","1/8"is common.

When it gets a little bigger"1/6".

Conversely, smaller"1/10".

Freeing's S-style

"1/12"It's palm-sized.

 

And on a larger scale

Needless to say, the satisfaction is high.

Recently, Freeing has become famous for its bunny series.

"1/4"There is also a figure of this scale.

It's becoming common.

 

Furthermore,"1/1 scale".

What is the actual size?

Which part represents the scale?

I think you understand that.

So what is the actual size?

 

In the setting, a character is 160cm tall.

"1/8"If it is a scale,

160÷8=20.

In other words20cmThis is a figure of.

If the original character is 180cm tall and 1/8 scale,

So 180÷8=22.5cm.

 

If the character is 160cm tall,

The actual size for each scale is as follows:

1/12 scale: Approx. 13cm

1/10 scale: 16cm

1/8 scale: 20cm

1/7 scale: approx. 23cm

1/6 scale: approx. 27cm

1/4 scale: 40cm

 

To make it easier to understand, I'll use the figure I have on hand.

I tried taking a photo(^▽^)

I chose items with simple shapes so that the differences would be as easy to see as possible.

・Left: STP Kinren 1/6 scale approx. 260mm

・Center: Alter Matsuura Kanan 1/7 scale approx. 230mm

・On the right: Wave Yoko 1/8 scale, approx. 200mm (top of head)

Looking at it this way you can see that it's quite different.

 

In reality, there is some variation between manufacturers.

If the original height is not disclosed, you can read the size from the play,

This is only a guideline as each individual's interpretation may vary.

It seems that the manufacturer also looks at the finished size and fits it to the scale.

 

Also, rather than scale,

Some manufacturers also list the actual size.

In that case,Total height approx. 230mm

It will be written like this.

 

Characteristics of each scale

Now, let's take a look at the characteristics of each scale.

Let me explain briefly.

 

[1/12]

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Rem Swimsuit Ver. 1/12 scale, total height approx. 130mm

It fits right in the palm of your hand.

About the same as a 250ml can.

You can enjoy it casually by displaying it on your desk.

The satisfaction level is a little low.

 

[1/10]

World Uniform Operation A Certain Scientific Railgun S Misaka Mikoto 1/10 scale, total height approx. 160mm

This is a size that isn't released very often these days.

The price of figures has been rising recently,

The balance between size and price is poor.

I think it’s a hard sell.

 

[1/8]

 Takagaki Kaede Sweet Princess Ver. 1/8 scale, total height approx. 240mm

General scale.

Voluminous costumes and

If there is an effect,

It's a good size to fit.

On the other hand, if it is a simple design

It feels a little lacking.

 

In addition, because of its small size,

The details of the modeling and the paintwork tend to be rough.

Sharp and

The carefully painted figures

A figure that is working really hard

This means that.

 

【1/7】

SAO -Ordinal Scale- Sinon 1/7 scale, total height approx. 250mm

Along with the 1/8 scale,

This is a common and common size for scale figures.

Because of its considerable size

It is easy to create detailed shapes and paint different colors.

There are many high quality figures available.

There is also a visual volume

It's also very satisfying when you decorate it.

That's why poor quality modeling and painting

It really stands out (^▽^;)

 

【1/6】

Lala Satalin Deviluke 1/6 scale, total height approx. 265mm

A scale common to adult figures.

The impact when completely naked is totally different!

Here1/7and1/6The difference is immeasurable.

 

【1/4】

FGO Saber/Artoria Pendragon 1/4 scale, total height approx. 390mm

1/7or1/8Compared to10cm or moreIt will also be larger, so it will be much more impressive!

However, there is a problem of finding space to display it.

Considering that,

There are also many figures in sitting and kneeling poses.

 

Price Difference

Of course, the price will increase as the scale size increases.

Price is not simply determined by size.

There are many parts and many processes involved.

I think it's often the fine details that drive up the price.

Therefore, the figures have a simple design.

The price is reasonable considering the size!

Max Factory Sawamura Spencer Eriri 1/7 14,800 yen

Good Smile Company Sawamura Spencer Eriri Swimsuit Ver. 1/7 10,500 yen

 

Even though they are the same scale, the price difference is about 1.5 times.

Of course, the manufacturer is expecting sales and keeping the price down.

By raising the target number of orders

I think there's a way to make the numbers add up.

I can't say for sure, but

As a buyer, the price is low for the scale

I'm grateful for that (^▽^)/

 

summary

So much for talking about scale.

Do you understand a little bit about scale?

The conclusion is that the size and quality are impressive.

I want a figure that looks good on display!

This is it lol

 

However, it would be fine if you could see the demo model or the actual product before purchasing,

If you live in the countryside, you tend to rely on mail order.

I bought it without knowing what the actual product would look like from the monitor.

As a result, it was smaller than I expected and I was a bit disappointed.

Have you ever had such an experience?

I have been there many times.

 

To reduce such mistakes as much as possible,

When considering purchasing a figure

"scale"of

Why not give it a little thought?
