>>5869475Disney always gets artists to sculpt 3D models of their characters to then give to each animator. They've been doing this pretty much since the beginning including characters for 2D movies.
A lot of animators tend to collect figurines, whether it's for reference or not, they just seem to naturally be drawn to the hobby.
I don't think you'll get much luck with Deltarune though, there isn't much official merch or figures, just the stuffed Ralsei toy and that's it.
