How close are Sonic the Hedgehog and Rocket Raccoon in size?
Sonic the Hedgehog measures 1 m (3.28 ft) from the ground up, and Rocket Raccoon measures 95 cm (37.4 in) from the ground up. That puts Sonic the Hedgehog at 1.05 times the height of Rocket Raccoon: 5 cm (1.97 in) of difference, 5%. Put the other way round, Rocket Raccoon covers 95% of Sonic the Hedgehog on the axis both are judged on. Sonic the Hedgehog is written in single metres and Rocket Raccoon in tens of centimetres, a whole band of scale apart.
| Object | Real size | Axis measured | What the figure covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog | 1 m 3.28 ft |
Height | Ground to highest point |
| Rocket Raccoon | 95 cm 37.4 in |
Height | Ground to highest point |
Both figures, Sonic the Hedgehog and Rocket Raccoon, come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real-world size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; outline provenance is listed on the sources page.
Why this one is hard to judge by eye
Both shapes fit in a single glance here, which is exactly why the 5% between Sonic the Hedgehog and Rocket Raccoon slips past: at this size the eye compares whole outlines, and the figures above compare one axis. A gap of 5% is invisible without a shared baseline: on the ground line above, Rocket Raccoon stops 5 cm (1.97 in) short of Sonic the Hedgehog.
What each figure covers
Sonic the Hedgehog. The height is the official figure for the character, stated in the original manual and quoted unchanged for three decades.
Rocket Raccoon. The height is the film figure for the character, far taller than any real raccoon standing on two legs.
Sonic the Hedgehog and Rocket Raccoon are both quoted as a height, which is what makes the ratio above a like-for-like figure.
What else is about that size?
Measured the same way, Sonic the Hedgehog at 1 m sits within a tenth of Chimpanzee at 1 m, Dodo at 1 m and Ewok at 1 m. Rocket Raccoon at 95 cm has Emperor Penguin at 95 cm, Mike Wazowski at 94 cm and R2-D2 at 96 cm for company, within a tenth. Swapping any of those in for Sonic the Hedgehog would move its ratio to Rocket Raccoon by less than 10%.
