    Sorry for not seeing this sooner. I'm not positive, but I think these came from the gumball machines. Vaguely remember seeing toys similar to these in the vending machines.
    I know it's here, just need a bigger coil!

    It looks like a combination of both gumball machine and King Cake figures:

    Nice job Kenosha Kid! I was pretty sure I'd seen some in the vending machines along with the Aliens.

    Possibly the toys are made up of plastic and the interior is made up of cellulose or wax. Such toys are seen in vending machines.
