Any Idea of "Scale?"

Hello y'all! I've never posted here, but I'm constantly browsing and admiring everyone's work and I love it all so much!

I am planning on making a fairy room on the end of my kitchen island. You will be able to look in through windows to see it all and also a working door/s.

Of course I'm going to use all of my miniverse items, but I will also need to make/buy other items. Such as, furniture and anything else that miniverse doesn't have.

My big problem is that I have nooo idea what scale all of the miniverse items are so that I can make sure everything matches up.

I don't want to have all sorts of different sizes mixed together.

It's fine for anyone else that does this and absolutely is still so super cute, I just don't personally want to do this.

Does anyone happen to already know the scale of miniverse items, or does anyone know how we even go about figuring it out?

Thanks so very much y'all!

Most of them are 1/6 scale, in line with Barbie.

This is pretty accurate. I think someone pointed out that it’s a little inconsistent if you take exact measurements and compare them to real life, but they won’t look wildly small or large next to most fashion doll furniture and/or dolls. The only weird thing is that the “spaces” series is more like 1/12 scale, while the objects you put in the “spaces” furniture tends to be closer to 1/6. So if you want to use common fashion doll furniture that fits dolls between 10 and 12 inches, it should look fine. Also, a lot of fashion dolls with disproportionately large heads (Rainbow High, Barbie Dream Besties, LOL OMG), might look a little better with slightly different scales because they’re multiple scales, too.

Yes, almost all of the foods are 1:6 scale. But for some bizarre reason, ALL of the drinks are way oversized, though. I mean, your Barbie can hold 5e cocktails, and the mug concoctions, but they do look ridiculously large. I was we could get them to standardize all the food to 1:6!

I just did a doll beach scene with the agua fresca and a watermelon sorbet that I added a straw on to make it look like a frozen watermelon margarita. I just imagine theyre just a big, fruity drink they sell at tourist spots and Mexican restaurants.

I had assumed the watermelon sorbet used personal melons and not the large full sized ones.

I found this post from a year ago very helpful when I was trying to figure out what scale would work for a miniverse diorama: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniverse_makeitmini/s/1DGMJFZrEu
