I have looked at tons of these figures !! They have been by at least four different companies including Hallmark !! The sizes were 3, 4 or 5 inches tall depending on what they were used for with one or two slightly taller at 6 inches !! Some were listed as tree ornaments (3 inch) but all were basically the same as yours with the same countries and writing style on the bottom !! Heilig Meyers was a furniture retailer that used these as premiums !! They used credit for most of their sales and I think these were given when someone opened a new account !! Now Back in the 1980`s which is the era these are from,,,many retailers did the same thing !! It was a common practice to get new customers !! Now some I looked at were more recent but still were the same figures, same look and same writing so you can bet they all came from the same place !!
With the exception of a few all were Chinese imports !! Many still had the sticker on the bottom which is required for imports into the US and other countries !!
Now the mark on the bottom,, actually it is the least important !! China and some other countries do not have a registry or list for any of these mfrs so since absolutely nothing shows up anywhere I found,, one can assume they are from China !! Also possible is that the molds for these figures were purchased from a U.S. or other English speaking country since the mark on the bottom is in English !!
Hope this helps,, sometimes these things are like a jigsaw puzzle,, you just have to put the pieces together to see it !! It is also a practice of some Chinese mfrs to use some sort of an Americanized symbol whether it means anything or not !! I have seen that before for items sold in the U.S. !!
Yes, they do, they’re also all Christmas figurines. One has a made in china sticker on it, but there were several Christmas items in the box. The closest thing I’ve seen to what they look like is Santa’s Around The World. Not what they are, but appear to be. Around the world ones don’t have makers marks, I have a few of those as well. It’s really getting to me lol
It’s perplexing! I really want to know! I’ve scoured the Internet for hours looking for it, to no avail. I do appreciate your help!
