The entire Christmas aisle at the dollar store was themed after C-3PO from Star Wars for no particular reason.

Mini-Adjacent Pt. 1 - AKA Dollar Tree
Apologies in advance for the hasty photography.
TLDR: The Final Faction action figures at Dollar Tree have some cool designs that cross over well into 28mm sci-fi tabletop.
I've had my eye on some of these for a while. Their "real" scale is wrong for standard 28mm heroic, because the action figures themselves are GI Joe-ish in scale. But the accessories are a different story.
The human faction has some cool bits for $1.25 apiece that make for excellent mechanized units, e.g. the walking turret on top left, or the Battletech-reminiscent walker on bottom left (scale-wise, that could plausibly be an exo-suit of some kind). The alien faction has similarly sized biological units with a chitinous, insectoid, Zerg-y vibe.
You could totally play these as actual units/creatures in a minis-agnostic game like Stargrave or Starfinder. The other possibility, however, is playing them as really cool objectives. Secret bioweapons to be destroyed; a raid on the enemy's rear to destroy his artillery or a mech depot.

I was in school when suddenly all the pencil shavings from each classroom busted through the windows and started to form a giant monster outside. Everyone had to use their Dollar-Store school supplies to fight it and I delivered the final blow with my friend’s tiny red scissors.

If I told you this girl used to be a tree, would you believe me?
This is Bashira, a middle (or high) school aged (assumption based on the uniform) rock guitarist and one of a trio of Manga Kodama Anime Dolls.
There is a total of three dolls in the series:
Bashira, who's already been mentioned. (This packaging is... Interesting.)
Noriko, who I assume is either a spellcaster or a cosplayer. I noticed a lone doll of her first then found the rest either down the aisle.
And Aiko, an alt girl who enjoys shopping?
The tree thing is 100% serious
