What is 1 metre tall?

Thirteen objects in the Size It Up measurement set stand between 90 cm (35.43 in) and 1.19 m (3.9 ft), Dobby the shortest and A0 Paper the tallest. That is 1 m (3.28 ft) give or take a fifth, and Chimpanzee is recorded at that figure itself, with ten others inside a tenth of it. Every number here is a height, which is the only reason Dobby and A0 Paper can be put in the same row: the drawing below holds them to one scale and one height.

Every height in the table falls between 90 cm and 1.19 m, Dobby through to A0 Paper, and all 13 come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; where each outline comes from is listed on the sources page.

Where each one falls against 1 m

At 90 cm (35.43 in), Dobby is 10% below it. At 94 cm (37.01 in), Mike Wazowski is 6% below it. At 95 cm (37.4 in), Rocket Raccoon is 5% below it.

At 96 cm (37.8 in), R2-D2 is 4% below it. Cricket Bat falls 3.5% under the mark at 96.5 cm (37.99 in). No outline on the page is narrower than Cricket Bat: 12.39 cm of width for 96.5 cm of height, a ratio of 7.8 to one. At 98 cm (38.58 in), Great Dane is 2% below it. No outline on the page spreads wider than Great Dane: 1.27 m across for 98 cm of height.

Chimpanzee, Dodo, Ewok and Sonic the Hedgehog are all recorded at 1 m (3.28 ft), the mark itself. Bilbo Baggins clears the mark by 7%, at 1.07 m (3.51 ft). Kevin runs 10% over at 1.1 m (3.61 ft).

A0 Paper runs 19% over at 1.19 m (3.9 ft).

The gaps inside the band

End to end the page runs from Dobby at 90 cm (35.43 in) to A0 Paper at 1.19 m (3.9 ft), a spread of 32%. Thirteen objects carry ten distinct figures between them, so some outlines stand exactly level on the drawing: Chimpanzee, Dodo, Ewok and Sonic the Hedgehog at 1 m. The widest step inside the band is between Kevin and A0 Paper, 8.1% apart, and every other neighbour is closer than that.

Rocket Raccoon, R2-D2 and Cricket Bat are the tightest three, held inside 1.6% of each other, which is well below what anyone judges by eye. Six of the thirteen sit under 1 m and seven above it, which is where the dashed marker crosses the drawing.

Why they do not look the same size

The drawing above puts all thirteen outlines on one scale, standing on one ground line, so the only thing separating Dobby from A0 Paper is the measurement itself. Great Dane is 10.26 times as wide as Cricket Bat on that drawing, 1.27 m against 12.39 cm, while the figures that put them both on this page are 1.6% apart. That is the whole difficulty with judging size by eye: what fills the frame is the outline of Great Dane, and what puts it on this page is one height of 98 cm. Great Dane and Cricket Bat are held to the same scale all the same, the way a drawing has to be built before two sizes can be read off it at once.

What each figure covers

The figure for Great Dane is the one for average adult male, head height, 98 cm (38.58 in). The figure for Chimpanzee is the one for average adult male, Knuckle-Walking, 1 m (3.28 ft). The figure for Dodo is the one for average adult, 1 m (3.28 ft).

Great Dane is measured to a point on the body rather than to the top of it, which is the convention for that kind of animal and not a rounding of anything. Six of them are characters rather than objects, Dobby, Mike Wazowski, R2-D2, Ewok, Bilbo Baggins and Kevin, and a character has no tape measure behind it: the figure comes from what the story fixes, not from anyone standing next to it. Rocket Raccoon, Cricket Bat, Sonic the Hedgehog and A0 Paper carry no qualifier in the set, so their figure is the plain one, with nothing narrowed down.

Every figure above is a height, Dobby and A0 Paper included, and the axis is the first thing to check before two sizes are worth putting side by side.

How often they come up in the game

Between them these thirteen objects have come up 35 times in the daily game, and Dodo accounts for 7 of those on its own. Eight of them have been drawn no more than twice in all: Mike Wazowski, Cricket Bat, Kevin, R2-D2, Great Dane, Chimpanzee, Ewok and A0 Paper. The game has already drawn one of these pairs against each other: Rocket Raccoon against Sonic the Hedgehog (1 time), which is as close to a tie as a round of this game gets.
