Pinky Scale

A lot of Pinky owner expressed frustration on finding accessories for their Pinkies, due to difficulty to find those match their pinkies. Not only that, the scale can be a bit difficult to match.

Here is the fact:
- Pinky head 25 mm
- Pinky body 20 mm (excluding hips, 25mm excluding hips)
- Pinky leg 55 mm (including hips, 50mm excluding hips - including boots/shoes/high-heels)

So the ratio of pinky body for head:torso:lower-limb(legs) is 1:1:2. The head is 1/4 of the body. (Note: ignoring disproportion due to boots/shoes/high-heels)

From WikiPedia's entry: Body Proportion, the ideal ratio of human body for head:torso:lower-limb is 1:3:4. Thus the head is 1/8 of the body.

Assuming Pinky is normal range grown-up female height, depending on the race, therefore, by full-body, Pinky scale can be 1:14 to 1:17.

However if you only take the Pinky head, assuming Pinky is normal range grown-up female-head height, Pinky scale can be 1:7 to 1:8.5 (can stretch it to 1:9)

So here is the confusion: what is a Pinky scale? It is difficult to get accessories for pinky due to the variety because it is confusing due to inconsistency, but it can also be an opportunity. It gives you a wide selection of things to buy.

This is my suggestion:

For big things like house, vehicle and furnitures, get those scaled similar to Pinky body scale, thus 1:14 to 1:17 (or you can strecth it to 1:18). Accessories that are worn on the body, or hand-held further from the face, should also be this scale.

For small things you put near the head, you can get by with those scaled 1:9 to 1:12. Getting 1:7 to 1:8 scale stuff will look extremely massive and at odds when hand-held by a Pinky. so I guess pushing is a bit smaller is more appropriate. However, accessories that are worn on the head such as cap/hat, glasses, scarf, should be of scale 1:7 to 1:9.

So there is your challange. Now shop! :P
