The little people consist of a torso with arms (they spin but do not detach), a head and legs/skirt. There is one magnet in the head near the neck, two in the legs/skirt, and 4 in the torso. In the torso, there are two magnets on the bottom, for the legs, one on top and one for some reason on the stomach (apparently for creativity). There are a lot of extra pieces (sword, broom, cloak, crown, hat), but they are not on magnets, you simply insert them or put on.
