Description

Just something I did for fun. I thought a height chart was needed. This was based off of Twilights mentioning of the 8 foot candy cane. I used screenshots to compare heights.

The Fridge Logic that often trips me up at this comparison is that if these figures hold, Spike has to be only roughly a foot and a half tall. Attempting to compare his height to Twilight’s is hard though, since she’s not exactly standing on the bottom of the chart, so getting an exact figure is difficult.
 
That’s compounded by the fact that he was apparently able to ride Twilight as far back as Season 1. A pony of Twilight’s size in this chart shouldn’t even be able to carry a human child, and Twilight isn’t exactly portrayed as athletic. That’d imply Spike is lightweight enough a reasonably athletic human could almost pick him up one handed and toss him like a shot-put at a track and field event.

Discord is roughly 8 feet, maybe a couple inches less, depending on how “bent” his body is. I suppose he could reach 9, maybe even 10 with horns if standing upright. Celestia is definitely smaller than she is in this picture, about five and a half feet without the horn, but Discord is nowhere near twice her size, more like 1.5x.

Sweetie is accurate, the rest is complete bullshit. Twilight is twice as tall as a filly? Yeah, no. Big Mac is bigger than Cadance, and Celestia is far taller than the other alicorns, but she’s still hardly five feet without the horn.

I like how there are a few “canons” determining the size of the ponies. There’s the EG canon, then the “8 foot candy cane” canon… what else am I missing?
