Using PicassoTiles Family Figures with Magnetic Tiles

Quick Answer

Use PicassoTiles Family Character Action Figures with any magnetic tile set by attaching their magnetic feet to tile edges or brick blocks. Their poseable limbs let you create action scenes inside or on top of your builds.

Step-by-Step: Using Family Figures with Magnetic Tiles

1. Step 1: Build a Stable Base: Start with a flat magnetic tile floor or a brick block base at least two layers thick. The extra weight prevents the structure from tipping when you attach figures. A single tile layer may tip over. Double-layer bases provide stability.
2. Step 2: Attach the Figure by Its Feet: Press the figure's magnetic feet onto a tile edge or a brick block stud. For a standing pose, place both feet flat on the same surface. For a climbing pose, attach one foot to a vertical tile and the other to a horizontal tile. Avoid attaching only one foot to a thin tile edge—the figure may wobble or fall.
3. Step 3: Pose the Arms and Legs: Bend the figure's arms and legs into the desired position. For example, bend the knees to make the figure sit on a tile roof, or extend one arm forward to hold a small prop. Check that the pose doesn't shift the figure's center of gravity off its magnetic feet.
4. Step 4: Create a Scene with Multiple Figures: Add two or more figures to the same build to create a story—such as a family picnic on a tile platform or a rescue scene on a tower. Use brick blocks to build furniture like beds or chairs for the figures to sit on. Leave enough space between figures so their magnetic fields don't pull them together unintentionally.
5. Step 5: Test and Adjust for Stability: Gently nudge the build to see if any figures shift. If a figure falls, reattach it with both feet flat on a wider surface, or add a small brick block as a support. If the figure keeps falling, the surface may be too small. Switch to a larger tile or brick block base.
