Play with Tokidokis inside! The way to do toy photography is to make sure you either have the perspective set up so that you keep them forward in the frame against the backdrop for the size perspective. OR use a macro lens so you can bring them in nice and tight to the lens and make them dominate the frame. Another way to keep the photos interesting is to make sure you have your background carefully selected so you don't have distractions in the image. A poorly placed cup behind your shot could completely ruin the size perspectives that you want.

All of these shot with my SB900 off camera and connected via a calumet flash sync cable with no diffusion. Flash was set at Manual 1/128th in order to not overwhelm the scene with too much flash. By being careful with your flash angle, you can create dramatic light and shadows instead of the boring straight on flash that you get by shooting with the flash immediately above the camera facing the subject. Take the flash off! Expirement! You'll like it!
