More than one figure is old-fashioned (5)

I believe the answer is:

idols

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

'more than one figure is old-fashioned' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'is old-fashioned' is the wordplay.
'fashioned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'is'+'old'='isold'
'isold' anagrammed gives 'IDOLS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idols that I've seen before include "False gods" , "Heroes" , "Graven images sometimes worshipped" , "Solid (anag.)" , "Much-admired persons" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
