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:

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.
