How do I know figures will fit a dollhouse?

Compare the figure height to the dollhouse scale or room height listed by the maker. Figures about two-thirds of the room height usually look right.

Can figures from different sets be mixed?

Yes, as long as they are a similar size. Mixing sets is an easy way to build a larger cast of characters.
