Toa Size

[Toa Turing]

I'm not sure where this goes, since it refers to sets and the story, so i apologize for any confusion. As for the topic, we know that all toa are the same size, but the sets are not. What size do you imagine toa to be? Mata sized? Inika sized? Somewhere in between? I imagine them to be Toa metru sized.

[Kopekemaster]

Well, technically, I think they are 2.5 Bio or something like that.But I think of them about....Rahkshi sized.

[The Swimming Beard]

I'm pretty sure the canon size was Mata size.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

I always picture them as 7.2 feet tall, because I think that is how tall they actually are in story.

[fishers64]

Oh, they're 1.6 bio tall. Really, more like about six feet tall, although the adaptive armor for the Nuva might have given them a height boost.

[Taipu1]

I tend to thing Metru as the standard size, they work alongside the Metruan, which are the official Matoran size, prior ones having been shrunk and rebuilt and whatever, and later ones mutated or poorly rebuilt. The exception is Av-Toran, but they have a canon reason for being big.I'd also say this is possibly something for S&T, as actual size it what happens in the storyline. Set sizes are what they are.

[CeeCee]

I always imagined them the size of an average tall human. Maybe 6.2.

[Kopekemaster]

Really? I thought a Bio was about 3 feet. (Or was it 4.5.....?)

The exact conversion rates (with real world measurements) are:1 bio = 4.5 feet = 1.37 meters[...]As a reference, all Toa are roughly 1.6 bio tall.

4.5 x 1.6 =7.2 feet.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

I imagine toa being about Metru-build height. The same goes for the matoran and turaga, with the exceptions of course being the Av-matoran.

I think the 2004 sets set the standard for heights, although I don't imagine the matoran to have the same measurements as the metruans sets, as they were a little oddly shaped.

[Nuparu1995]

I imagine them to be set sized, with the average size being the 2.5 Bio mentioned above. I see then being usually about Toa Metru-sized, usually.

Well I think "Mask of Light" showed them as a bit shorter than a Rahkshi so I'd say about that size.

[Overlord]

As has been said, I generally imagine them being a bit shorter than a Rahkshi. The movie pretty much cemented that size comparison in my mind, despite the obvious set size differences between Toa.

[PDPsi HAN]

So if all Toa (some exceptions maybe?) are 7.2 feet, how tall are Metru Matoran?I'm guessing Rahkshi would be around 8ft and Skakdi around 8ft as well.

[JainaEgo]

About 6 feet.

[Solaris Magnus]

The Metru Body type I believe is the height of most Toa. The Hagha, Metru and presumably most of Lhikan's Team were around this size. Also, canon wise, I believe that all Toa are around the same height.-Star

[-Jaller-]

I read some where that they all are about 7 feet give or take a few inches

[Biff]

I thought the inika were the perfect size.

[Rooster Nui]

Most likely Metru size.

[Axonn's Fury]

I'd agree, Toa Metru size for sure.- Taka

[Extractor]

Metru size for sure.
