These are so cute I could eat one! And in fact, they are edible--they are made from marzipan. Definition of Marzipan:
Made of sugar, egg whites and almonds, this substance can be used as a base for icing, or to mold decorative forms such as flowers from, on the wedding cake.
Unbelieveable!!

hmmm....not sure if i could eat one either :P
I have two kinda like that here at work. they are not edible though. Got them out of the King Cake that i had to buy. If you get the piece with the baby in it you have to buy next year. Yeah i am 2 in a row and working on three. lol
They are about an inch tall so you wouldn't choke. Thank God or i would be a dead man.
Here is a link with pictures, History of the king cake and even a recipe.
