Numbers of body shapes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

figures

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'numbers' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'body shapes' is the second definition.
'figures' can be an answer for 'shapes' (figure is a kind of shape). I am unsure of the 'body' bit.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for figures that I've seen before include "Estimates" , "characters' > features" , "Digits" , "Forms" , "Makes sense" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
