idols

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

'figures?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'solid' is the wordplay.
'solid' can be anagrammed to 'IDOLS'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idols that I've seen before include "Much-admired persons" , "Heroes" , "False gods" , "objects such as the Golden Calf" , "Solid (anag.)" .)
