Santa and elves "flatties"...

What kind of figures have been used with cardboard Christmas houses and villages, where do you get appropriate figures today, how do you make, prepair, repair or otherwise maintain figures?

update...4-19-2019...

four elves were not quite enough so here are three more profiles...i'm going to paint them with different color clothing for more variety and contrast to the first four which were basically red and green...

my very best regards...
