I really like figures where it looks like they are actually sitting or leaning on things, like this one (NSFW) http://myfigurecollection.net/item/214975
I know there are others where they can hold cans/bottles, but is there a name for this type of thing? Alternately, just post your favorite examples.

That is a noodle stopper - not sure about others. I reallly, really need the hestia one Y_Y
Actually, that's the real name of these figures. The boxes have "noodle stopper figure" written in hiragana and katakana.
I know that those specifically are noodle stoppers, but I meant the type of figure that interacts with objects in general (holds pencils or hugs cans) which includes noodle stoppers.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I misinterpreted the question.
To the best of my knowledge there is no universal term for them. Each seems to have its own name, depending on the brand. I'll have some fun googling for a while and let you know if I learn anything.
Can you think of any other names used by other brands?
There isn't really a name to broadly categorize the type of figures you're looking for. Best chance is to search for keywords like 'pencil holder' or whatever object alongside 'figure' when searching. I've seen examples of figure meant to be pushed against glass for a smooshing effect, and some cute ones that have a silicon booty that can hold everyday objects. Just gotta keep looking around.
you made me want these, but they are really expensive :(
Actually, a lot of noodle stopper and bottle holder figures are prize figures and therefore pretty cheap. (:
I specifically want the momo one, and it seems to go for about 30$ which I personally think is too expensive for my noodles
Ahh I see. Still wayyyy cheaper than most standard scale figures though!
