How big are Althena statues?

Post by Leo »

I was having one of those "What if?" thoughts on the Lunar related things I'd do if money was no object and the idea of someone making a "full sized" Althena statue popped into my head. I never stopped to think what size that would be until just now.

There may be a more official answer. Going off of the relative size of the sprites, does 10-15 feet sound right? I've always imagined it about the size of a statue I might run across at the park, or (for SSSC and after) a statue in a cathedral.

Therefore kepe well the scawberde allweyes with you." --- Le Morte Darthur, Sir Thomas Malory

Well the sprites are the same size for all of the characters even though Kyle is definitely taller than Alex in the videos. Are there any instances of an Althena statue visible in any of the FMV? Maybe we could estimate better that way.

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but looking at the artbooks might help. There might be concept sketches with scale people. That's just a guess, though, and my books are alllll the way across the living room from me.

I can't find anything definitive... I'd go with Sonic#'s method in absence of that. Based on where you usually find Althena's statues, and the relative size of other things around it, I think about 3 meters is a good estimate. Definitely larger than average human-sized, but no larger than could fit inside of a building. KF

Now lets estimate how big the one in Azado is. :lol:
