LEGO Minifig Dimensions

After an infuriating search online for the dimensions of the LEGO minifig (LEGO man), I finally caved and just modeled it myself and decided to put the dimensions online.

This is not completely comprehensive, specifically (and most noticeably) it is missing arms and hands. Also, there's no top/bottom view so you can't see the shell/wall thickness. BUT, this should be sufficient for any type of profile/modeling job right up until the arms. The issue with the arms is that there are all sorts of lofts and things that I haven't had the time to mess with yet. I will though, no worries, the dwgs will just be much uglier.

Enjoy! Share with your friends, I'm pretty sure these are the only LEGO minifigs on the entire Internet. Woo-hoo for monopolizing!

DIMENSIONS ARE IN mm

How did you measure? What's the level of uncertainty?

Fantastic! My son is messing around with Google Sketchup and wanted to 3D a minifig. This will help. Are you familiar with Sketchup?

What is the 0.90 on his head for? Is that for the measurement of hats put on a minifig?
