While the band seems to be inactive , all three members are also involved in other bands or have released solo work under their respective Figurine monikers.

Tamborello has also used the Figurine pseudonym for an official remix of Bright Eyes' '' Easy/Lucky/Free'' in 2005 and a solo album in 2006. Meredith is also a vocalist for Boothby.
