Antique Bathing Suit Female Duck & Rabbit Figurines (Japan)

[tjdean01]

Well, my last find from a few year ago was solved. I'll have to try another one!

I found these made in Japan figurines in the basement on the shelf at at estate sale a few years ago. Very delicate with the thin arms. They look Disney-like but I couldn't really find anything online where Daisy Duck looks like that. Although, these are in great shape. When I first got them a few years ago I found some broken ones on Ebay, for give or take $20. But, I can't seem to find any photos of these online at all at this point. Anyone have a clue about what these are, how old they are, etc? Thanks!

Man, these things must really be rare. None have popped up since those ebay listings a few years ago and even those don't include the rabbit. I'm course I'm curious what these are worth but I'm even more curious as to what characters, if any, they represent and how old they are.
