Real Action Heroes Scale?PollsPrev NextPrev Next

Hello! I just bought my first RAH figure (Alphonse Elric). I see that it says it's 1/6 scale, but the Medicom website says nothing about scale, just that it's 22cm tall. Is the scale official or is it just approximation based on the height? Are all RAH figures assumed to be 1/6 scale?
I'm pretty new to figure collecting so I'd like to learn stuff like this. Thanks!!

I would say non-scale since there's the RAH EVA01/02, etc., so definitely not 1/6, lol.

Probably approximation. I only own two RAHs, Sebastian and Ciel, and idk if they are truly 1/6 scale, but their height difference (between the two of them, at least) seems pretty accurate to me. I also vaguely remember measuring Sebastian and he is 1 foot in height, which means the 1/6 scale is pretty accurate, I guess? (Since I think I remember reading somewhere that his height is supposedly 185 cm, or 6'1").

1/6 and 1/12 are rather “generic” terms of scale. For example, at least with 1/12, both Mezcos and Figmas are listed as 1/12 despite Mezcos being much bigger and bulkier. Same goes for RAH. They’re supposedly 1/6, but likely won’t scale accurately with, say, a Hot Toy. But there shouldn’t have too much issue hanging out with other 1/6 figures either.

ddarko • 3 years ago • #78676605They really aren't 1/6 scale from what I have seen. They are non-scale like Figma. Just as figma are around 15 cm tall, RAH is around 30 cm tall. There are some that are 27.5 cm, but that is not exactly due to scale as well I think.
The equipment is definitely in-scale with the figure though, and is quiet detailed.
EDIT: (Alphonse Eric height is listed as 5'10". That should give you a figure around 29 cm still. But, 22 cm would be way too short?)
Yeah I'm not sure why the MFC listing says 1/6 but it looks like most RAH listings also say 1/6. Thank you for the insight!
