if you're taking figurines macro only, then u can buy a short focal length macro lens (the longer the more expensive). Longer macro lens are generally used for taking insects. Dont waste money on those unless u need to take insects....
Not sure what brand u are using, but if u happen to be using Sony, u can get a Sony 30mm f2.8 1:1 macro lens. Now got promo price, if u purchased your camera recently (or hv friends who did), u can buy the lens for just $249.
Dont think any other camera brand besides Sony have a true 1:1 magnification macro lens that has image stabilizer (due to body IS) and only cost $249.
