New line of possible Large Scale detail products at Michael's craft stores.

   

They are simply labeled Miniatures/Miniaturas. There are many other items at the store, this is just what I picked up. These range in scale but look good for 1/20~1//22.5 range. They are relatively inexpensive. I'm planning to repaint the bananas as chilis

Michael's has long been one of my favorite "parts stores". I particularly like when every 5th grader in Calif builds a mission. Some of the stuff I pick up then include boxes, and bags of freight. The bags are just the right size to be a proper load on a hand truck dockside worker. Looking for a sports team? Just stop by the cake decorating section, You will easily find enough to "field" a team of the in season sport complete with cheerleaders.
