    I think these are so neat, but would like to know more about them. I was given these as a gift, but have no idea what they are made of or how old they could be, they failed the amber tests, and I cant think that they are plastic -no seams , all but 1 are signed and the work on them is so fine and intricate! Anyone out there that could help identify these? Many Thanks

      The creature in your third picture from the left is a Kappa.
