Here's a photo of our last game, the final game in a short campaign.
​
The villian, Lillian Angstrom was a mad scientist who had given herself powerful psyonics. At the start of the fight she split herself into three projections who all fought simultaneously.

If I wanted to use real miniatures for that, I would have had to find a miniature of a shaved-head female wearing college robes who was in an appropriately dramatic pose. I then would have had to purchase three of them and had them prepped for a single session of play.
​
Instead, I made her in HeroForge exactly to my specifications, took a screenshot, and had three identical minis in about 20 minutes. I bought a pack of these bases, put some magnetic sheet on the bottom, and stuff the slot with sticky tak. They are printed on cardstock folded and glued on themselves, and them laminated with packing tape. The paper minis are thick, glossy, and durable. The bases are magnetic so they are secured to my metal shelf. They are quick and easy to make, and they are functionally free.
​
I can't stand the idea of being limited by my collection. Especially since almost all of the monsters I actually run are modified to be appropriate to the game. So yes, I find paper minis to an incredibly good solution.
They seem to be on Amazon UK in limited supply.
The other option is to print your own. See https://www.patreon.com/PrintableHeroes for one example.

On the cheap (and highly available) use binder clips https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/5n6jld/oc_i_made_my_own_minis_today_using_binder_clips/
