Thought I would share my swordsmen of the mist ref sheet with the rest of you all that I put together and use for my art. You kind of get a good idea for the different official "uniform" conventions in the mist when all the characters are lined up like this. As a heads up the colored in Zabuza lineups aren't my own, they're from tumblr user @anbubox - links to their zabuza settei sheet upscales: set one and set two. I also couldn't find any proper turnarounds for Ameyuri Ringo, so I made use of her naruto online sprite sheets here as well - you can view those and others on the spriters-resource website.
Some more Ringo refs using those sprites:
If you want to see the other settei sheets I ripped from though, I mostly uploaded them on their own separately here on this post. There's also links to some Kisame settei sheets on that post too!

For official height comparisons, I also put together this handy dandy lineup of all the (non boruto era) swordsmen of the mist:
And I actually created an additional height chart with all the characters in kiri that have official heights listed as well that I could find:
Again, not using anything Boruto era here, might do that separately in another post though for Kirigakure specifically again. Please note that Chojuro and Suigetsu's heights listed are from their age during the time frame that Shippuden takes place.
I also put together a bit of an eye color chart as well. Since most of the characters you see show up during edo tensei in the anime, I tried to pull from the anime specifically since the anime gives edo tensei characters their eye color while alive, but with black sclera. Fuguki Suikazan is an example of this, since we see him alive during a flashback scene where his eye color is visible, as well as when he is reanimated during edo tensei. His brown eye color during both is roughly about the same.
I've noticed a lot of video games and other extended materials tend to default to giving all edo tensei characters white eyes with dark sclera, so I tried to avoid using those as eye color reference specifically. Anime seems to work best here, although there's a caveat - the scene where the seven ninja swordsmen once reanimated are first introduced as a group. During that scene, the anime shows them all with the same ghostly white eyes. As an example, Zabuza shows up prior to the rest of the swordsmen in the edo tensei arc, and has his brown eyes like he did while alive. During the scene where all the ninja swordsmen are introduced together though as a full lineup, he suddenly reverts to white eyes like all of the others.
In their individual scenes in the anime episodes after this, actual eye colors are used once again for the most part. The main outliers unfortunately seem to be Ameyuri Ringo and Jinin Akebino who are instead shown with flat dark filled in eyes during edo tensei, so there wasn't much to pull from there. But I added them to the chart anyway.
It's too bad we don't really see Mangetsu much after this introduction, so we can't say for sure what his eye color while alive could have been. It may have also been purple like Suigetsu, but I figured I'd include Gengetsu into the lineup as another Hozuki to give options - Mangetsu's eye color may have also been light blue too, we just can't say for sure. Anyway Raiga's eye color seems to just change depending on scene lighting from shades of blue to green, so I included some options there to get an idea for range.
