What is 1:6th Scale?
The 1:6th scale is one of the most popular scales in the world of doll miniatures. The term “1:6” means that every inch of the miniature represents six inches in real life. To give you an idea, if a real-life chair is 36 inches tall, its 1:6 scale version will be six inches tall. This scale is often used for fashion dolls such as Barbie, Blythe, and Phicen, making it the ideal size for miniature collectors who love creating realistic environments for their dolls.
At Miniature Delights, our 1:6th scale miniatures are handcrafted with precision and care, allowing collectors to bring their dollhouses, photo setups, and displays to life in a way that feels incredibly real.
