Collection of Chinese figures

[tonyvid]

Hi all, does anyone have any idea what this collection is all about, and if there is a collectors market from them? Belonged to a Dutch relative and that’s about all we know of them. I tried a reverse image search and got nothing similar. It’s a folding box and each figure is about 3cm high.

Looks like they are Japanese and not worth a great deal if this is anything to go by https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/p612793136

Admirable digging about, good work.

Using google translate on the linked site it would appear that they are Chinese (I was alerted to this likelihood by the lack of kana in the text) but they were being sold in Japan. Still worth bugger all though, sorry.

Ah, I did wonder after saying they were Japanese that they still could not be. Shame you weren't sitting on an unknown treasure hoard.

Discovered in the loft from a long lost relative, followed by the hope of a massive collectable item....back to look for any old masters up there then!
