What is the HEIGHT of the tallest Skylander? and the tallest Giant? and the tallest Swap Force figure?

I'm designing a wall display, and thought this would be useful information for those crafty types.

I believe Ninjini is the tallest giant or Swarm

Ninjini is about 5-1/4 inches or 13.4 cm tall.
The tallest Core Skylander I have is Series 2 Terrafin @ 3-9/16 inches or 9.1 cm, which is slightly taller than S2 Whirlwind or S2 Gill Grunt.

I am mostly curious about Swap Force figures, but I try to include everything possible in my designs.

You could just take the measurement of a giant's packaging bubble and remove any doubt.

The packaging measurement is smart, but it's too big for what I'm making. Each character has a compartment, and the tallest figures will help determine the inside height.
The wall display has a total of 80 compartments, so it needs to be as small as it can, but look good too. I think a key factor is the height of the tallest swappable figure.

If you're planning on building this yourself, maybe it would be best to wait until we hear an announcement for Skylanders 4 and find out how many new figures will be released with it. It would suck if you went to all the trouble of building this new display, only to find out in just a month or two that you'll have to add 50 new spaces to it, or if figures get left out.

Thanks for the heads up. However, my plan for additional figures is a separate display. This could be for Skylanders 4 only, or as a favorites set.
I like the overall dimensions of the 80 compartment display because it works well with a fairly common wall space of 40 inches,
and is inexpensive to construct with a sheet of plywood and a couple boards to frame it out.

I'm still wondering if anybody knows the HEIGHT of the tallest Swap Force figure?

Can you take pics during the building process?

I think you might also want to consider the depth of the figures. I noticed on this little "stairs" thing that I made that some figures had an easier time fitting a certain way because of how bulky some of them are compared to others. So I end up having to constantly rearrange them when I move them because they're always in weird positions when I put them back.

Ninjini is I believe the tallest and I think something around 6 inches would be perfect for all figures, although maybe making seperate heights for Swappers, giants and cores would work better?

Just doing a quick measurement, something a bit over 3 inches deep should be perfect for all the figures. Swappers have the widest bases and I believe they're a bit over 3 inches as well.

I plan on taking pics of different steps while building it.

Thanks for the depth input. The design has 3 types of compartments.

56 Basic - 4 wide x 4 high x 3.5 deep
16 Tall - 4 wide x 5 high x 3.5 deep
8 Giant - 6 wide x 7 high x 4.5 deep (space for platform and lights)

Just got the frame boards today on clearance! About $6 a board and 1 inch thick. I also decided to make a matching small display for 16 figures. Hopefully I can start building this weekend!
