These kids seem to be dressed up like those bar-topDrinking Bird Toys.

Same thought here, Expat.

One was used as a prop in the movie "Alien". You'll see it on the table in the mess hall, merrily bobbing away as the crew sleeps for months during their trip.

They used to be in car back windows too, but I can't think why anyone would dress up like them.

Yeah, wouldn't have guessed that.
