If you are talking about 12inch figure you won't have problem getting a full portrait shot with your kit 55mm focal end.
Something like this.

If any tighter need different lens addy or some of the mentioned tips.
Setting wise can be f8 to 16 and not worry about shutter speed as camera will be on tripod.Just make sure have a spare battery if you constantly relying liveview to take your shot as you'll be using long shutter speed and time to compose figure stance.Or bump your iso to shorten long shutter speed.
Also check google or youtube for focus stacking so should you want 100% sharp across your subject especially your figure in dramatic poses.
