What are these? Can't find any details. I have a number of what I *think* are Hummel figurines, but really have no clue how to properly identify these figurines.
Let me know what you think! I have a few more- decided to just put up one for now and see what people think.

These are not Hummel figurines. Your figurines were made by Napco presumably in the mid 60's, made in Japan.
Napco, or the National Potteries Corporation, was founded in Bedford, Ohio, in 1938. Napco only produced its own products for a handful of years; after World War II, Napco grew rapidly by importing Made in Japan ceramic items and figurines.
Identifying Napco pieces from the 1950s and 1960s can be tricky, because very few Napco pieces from this era were copyrighted. Some Napco figures are indeed very similar to Hummel products. www.collectorsweekly.com/
I found a similar looking Napco boy with sward and shield

This and another similar sized 5" figurine sold at $14 www.ebay.com/
You didn't add a photo with the number, but I think each of your figurines has a letter and digits, just like on the back of these Napcoware Figurines: www.ebay.com/
The price of another set of 2 Napcoware Figurines from 1960s is $24.99 www.ebay.com/
Authentic Hummel figurines will be marked underneath/on the side:

These look like knockoff Hummels. We have real ones, and they are signed.
