Disney Infinity would have possibly had miniature figures based on NPC characters from the game.
News comes from the latest episode of the Inside Infinity podcast, where Will Kelley and Steven Operach were joined by Disney Infinity artist Thomas Estrada. You can watch the video version of the podcast below, many more fun bits of information were provided.

Though it is unclear what role these miniature figures would have played, we do have a concept of what they would have looked like.
Perhaps these figures would not have made it into the game at all. They were never official by any means, but they were far enough along that they had this awesome concept art.
It is believed that perhaps Disney would have used the figures purely as collectables for those who wanted the toys, but did not necessarily want to play the game. This would have been a similar concept to Disney’s popular Tsum Tsum plushes, or their Funko Pop line of Disney licensed characters.
