Why this one is hard to judge by eye
Both shapes fit in a single glance here, which ought to make 2.44 to one obvious between Sulley and Mike Wazowski, and it is not: at this size the eye compares whole outlines while the figures above compare one axis.
What each figure covers
Sulley. The height is the studio figure, roughly seven feet six. The character is drawn with fur that adds apparent bulk well beyond the measured line.
Mike Wazowski. The height is the studio figure, roughly three feet one. A character with one eye and no neck gives the eye nothing to calibrate against, which is exactly why it is hard to place.
Sulley and Mike Wazowski 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, Sulley at 2.29 m sits within a tenth of Chewbacca at 2.28 m, Shrek at 2.33 m and Groot at 2.39 m. Mike Wazowski at 94 cm has Emperor Penguin at 95 cm, Rocket Raccoon at 95 cm and R2-D2 at 96 cm for company, within a tenth. Swapping any of those in for Sulley would move its ratio to Mike Wazowski by less than 10%.
