I've only used fondant once and I have a few questions.
1. How far in advance can I make my fondant figures?
2. Can they be frozen?
3. After I color fondant, how long will it keep?
4. Should it be refrigerated once colored?
TIA!!

You can make fondant figures weeks in advance and if you add some tylose or use a mix of 50/50 gumpaste they keep even better.
I think figures can last months maybe even years if they don't get any moisture in them. You can even shellac them with confectioners glaze!
I am not sure about freezing figures but they would keep just fine in an airtight container.
Fondant coloured or uncoloured keeps for a long time but once it's coloured the colours will eventually fade a bit.
Some people keep fondant in the fridge and some don't. I don't, I just keep it in air tight containers.
I think fondant keeps for up to 6 months but mine never lasts that long as I don't make large batches, just what I need!
I agree with banba. Don't put the figures in the fridge or freezer. Keep them in an airtight box and out of direct sun light. I have kept mine for years and years now.
