I've gone down some online rabbit holes trying to identify these, but I haven't seen a match on any site. They're approximately 4" tall.

Two of them are stamped "© Y/S.N.T", and they all seem to be stamped with a circled "P" below those numbers.

 

Any help? Thanks!

Looks like Deka kinkeshi

I just found the checklist for those sets, and it looks like you're right. Are these at all rare?

 

The one in the middle (in the first photo) is noticeably pinker than the others, and slightly more rigid. Is this a variant of some sort? The picture of the writing on the foot also comes from this figure.

 

Thanks for your help.

These at just regular Deka Keshi by the looks of it. Over the years they can fade etc. It's certain sculpts that make some worth more than others.

DEKAS aren't especially rare - but they don't pop up that often as they were made in Japan and never had a US release. They are super cool, if anything it is difficult to find them un stained. Seems like 9 outta 10 times they are stained, marked up or discolored.

Burty is right, some sculpts will get a bit of a premium over others... Usually the standard fare. Sunshines, Mito etc...

Middle is a common the other 2 are tougher to find. Theres no set price on these they go for really random prices most times. When i was conpleting my set id see some go for 200 one month and then the next go for 50 dollars. For more rare in good shape sculpts. Commons typically sell around $5
