There are cheaper alternatives to going out and buying actual figures. But it is dependent on how completest you are. I know some people find proxies don't work for them - and people such as that may have issues because they will kind of *need* actual D&D figures or close approximations.

But there are definitely alternatives out there.

Another fun one, that we did 20+ years ago, was use Legos for miniatures. We still had some in storage back then from when we were kids, and now that I've got kids of my own, we have some again. You have them anyway, and they're versatile and fit multiple genres.
