Actually its "smilies" or "smileys" or "emoticons"
Back when the internet was all text they were also. They were small text pictures turned on their side.
Code:
:) for a smile
:( for frown
;) for a wink
:o for surprise
:D for a grin
>:D for an evil grin
:P for sticking your tongue out
>B{P> evil guy with glasses mustache and a beard sticking his tongue out at you
(oops, thats me)

But "smiles" seems inadequate for the moving action figures. It works for the standard pictorial representations of text pictures as Gandalf confims, but I do not think it is valid for the really cool action ones.
Here is my stab at giving them a name.
How about "MnM's"? Short for motion and message?
No doubt the Mars candy company will have a medium sized cow.
