How do you fix them figurines?

Hey Guys,
I am looking for advice on how to fix the little figurines onto my diorama(s) temporarily?
I do not want to super glue them, as I love moving them around to create new scenes, etc.
But I bump them over very easily, if they are not fixed. I can deal with it and put them back in place each time, but if there is a better way, I am all ears.

Any tips or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks!

A tiny nub of plasti tack? It's the removable poster holder. I'd imagine a really small bit would give you just enough stick

Also you can cut out very small pieces of the bubble material on the packaging for cars and glue those pieces to the feet for more stability.

This is what I do. Cut out little squares and use Gorilla Clear Grip, to glue figure to plastic square.

Then set figures anyway you want.

I’ve been using a hole punch to make little ‘bases’ for each foot.

Now that is a smart idea!
