Lego Minifigures

I want to start taking photographs of Lego Minifigures, could any UHH member advise which is the best focal length to use so the entire figure is in focus. I use an M43 camera which has X2 crop but full but I can convert frame numbers to match my camera.
Thanks.
Thanks.

For M43 you could use a focal length from 25mm to about 60mm. You may need focus stacking to get good depth of field.

You might consider the Olympus 30mm and the 60mm macro lenses. Either should give good sharp images.

For the 'entire figure to be in focus' this is going to be influenced by the focal length plus the distance from subject (that determines how large it is within the frame) and aperture used.
If your Minifigure is say 15mm depth you could use a DOF calculator to see what's needed with your sensor to get that depth of field.
