Miniature figures are small-scale representations of people, animals, or objects, often used for various purposes such as hobbies, education, or decoration. These figures can be made from materials like plastic, metal, or resin and are commonly found in model train sets, board games, and dioramas. They come in various sizes, typically ranging from a few centimeters to several inches tall. Collectors and hobbyists often enjoy painting and customizing miniature figures to enhance their appearance. Miniature figures are also popular in the gaming community, particularly in tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer, where they represent characters or units in gameplay.
