miniature figures

Small collectible statuettes

Miniature figures are small-scale models of people, creatures, or characters, typically made of plastic or metal.

They range from a few millimeters to several inches tall and are used primarily in tabletop gaming, model railroads, and collecting.

Hobbyists often paint and customize them: I spent the weekend painting miniature figures for my D&D campaign.

The term is frequently shortened to minis.
