The "What Figure is this?" Thread

I couldn't find a thread like this and I didn't want to create an entirely new topic on my one question. So for those of us far less knowledgeable in the collector's side of things I thought this might be useful.
Now for the first question:
Someone came to me with this photo asking what company produced them, how old they were and, of course, if they were worth dog's bone. I had absolutely no idea myself, but I was interested to know anyway. Anyone want to give me the 411 on these?
