Personally I use foam board, penny nails, and magnets.
The foam board as a grid and a base.
I cut the head of nail off and push it, point down, into the foam base.
Then I epoxy a magnet to the base or the fig, which requires slight drilling sometimes.
When you put the fig in its place the magnet holds it to the nail in the foam board base, and the foam board walls are there for backup and support of materials above.
If the figure is especially large or heavy, I will use 2 magnets in its base and a magnet in place of the nail head on the foam board.
Cheap, clean, simple.

That's pretty damn clever.
As a bonus, if you're low on table space, you can attach the board to a magnetic surface and play on the wall...
