Best primer for rubber/soft plastic miniatures? (mander.xyz)

I've been away from miniature painting for a while, but I just bought the new heroquest and want to paint it.

The miniatures seem to be made of a weird rubber or soft plastic that I've not used before, what kind of primer works best on these? I'm worried normal primer will just flake off.

Edit: I probably should add, I'd prefer something I can shoot through my airbrush.

Regular airbrush primer will be fine on soft plastic. As always, wash with soap and water prior to priming to remove mold releasing lubricants and finga grease.
