Stick their feet in a block of cement

I use Woodland Scenic's Accent Glue to stick down folks who aren't on plastic bases. It's a tacky glue that's easy to use, a little goes a long way, and it lets you move them after they're in place without damage. <br /> <br />Most of the 'higher end' figures don't have bases, such as those from Preiser or Woodland Scenics. For the ones that do, you can cut the base off, if you're VERY careful, unless you want a guy nicknamed "Stumpy" on your layout. [:)] Better idea is probably to reserve the figures with bases for areas where you can hid the base with other scenic material, such as grass, sand, ballast, etc., and only use figures without bases for areas where you can't hide the base very well. <br /> <br />Unless you're referring to the ones that come with the clear plastic base, in which case I usually try to remove as much of the base as possible with a sharp hobby knife before gluing them in place.
