Craft Supply

Bought in quantity, small figures stop being toys and start being components: something to glue to a magnet, mount on a ring or a card, sink into resin, or line up along a garland. The reason they work is availability, since a project that needs a dozen identical pieces is only possible if a dozen identical pieces exist in one bag. Test glue and paint on a single figure before committing the batch, because these are molded plastics and not every adhesive or spray bonds to them the same way.
