try a local craft store or community college that has art courses they may have molds for your hobbie

The first answer is good for *purchasing* small-figure molds, but you can also make your own molds –from your own sculpted figures, or from toys and other little figures– which you can then use to cast various kinds of "clay" inside.
You might want to check out this page at my site on all kinds of materials to make molds from including polymer clay, and also info on casting polymer clay, etc., in those molds:

….click on the category MAKING MOLDS YOURSELF, at least
And this page has a section on how to "distort" parts of a cast (before hardening) to create different looks for figures, heads, etc:

….click on DISTORTING FOR MORE VARIETY
You might also be interested in these pages re other things you can make yourself "for places":
