: Design individual body parts (head, torso, limbs) separately, cut them out, and use small pieces of double-sided tape to secure non-moving parts while repositioning limbs for movement.
The theme was introduced, featuring basic male and female models that could only be filled with a single color.
These figures were frequently used in the "Grounded" subgenre, where characters like Peppa Pig would get "grounded" for absurdly long periods.
Unlike a simple line drawing, these figures were modular. They came with a library of pre-coded actions: walking, running, dancing, and, most famously, fighting. They featured circular heads with dot eyes, line mouths, and four-fingered hands. Because they were "drag-and-drop" assets, they moved with a uniform, slightly robotic fluidity. This uniformity was key to their success; it allowed creators with zero drawing skills to focus entirely on narrative pacing and dialogue rather than frame-by-frame drawing.
