There are tiny holes in the feet, and maybe they could take a lego dowel as
well, but it looks more like an artifact of the molding. I couldn't remember
the name before, but if the figures remind me of anything, it's those Playmobil
figures.
They're not supposed to be for building sets - they're collectable figurines in
an odd format, really. They're not very LEGO-like, and my first Kubrick was
bought from an auction with the assumption that they were. That was
disappointing, but I've since gained an appreciation for 'em.
And with that, this is pretty much now left the topic of the board, so feel free
to email me personally if you have any more questions.
