Mystery Item!

Does anybody know what these are:
I got them from a seller in Belgium. They're hard plastic, 3d but flattish, and have bases. I was wondering if they're cake decorations.
They don't have any markings that I can see and neither does the packaging.

I know, I know!
They're smurfs!
Where's my trophy?
Ok, just joking.
No idea, open the pack and look?
They would look good on a cake, so maybe they are cake decorations...

Good one Sandra!
No, definitely not fridge magnets Elvis, although I thought they might be when I bought them. I don't really want to take them out of the package.

The seller didn't seem to know very either.

Those are very cute Hilary but I've never seen them before. My first guess would be cake decorations too. How tall is the tallest piece?

Nothing is much taller than a couple of inches, or 5 cms Tojo.

They are interesting whatever they are.
I don't know about cake toppers though unless cake toppers are different outside the states, most of the items used to decorate cakes around here come with a stake at the bottom to kind of look like a toothpick so it sticks better, unless it's really big then it just sits with it's own weight. If it wasn't for the packaging I would almost guess these are game pieces of some sort.

I wondered about that Gerda. Most cake toppers/decorations over here have a flat bottom and just stick on the icing/frosting. These bases don't look broad enough to be game pieces.

This looks like a paper smurfvillage, I once had.
The village was a thick paper background and to decorate it, you had to put such figures on it, like in the picture.( not the same, but very much alike)

Thank Margriet. That was my first thought when I got them. There's nothing to suggest they should go with anything though. Tis a mystery!
