Any ID on these?

There are 8 of these characters in the set, they were sold as blind boxes in Japan. 

ChatGPT says ‘These are from a parody/satirical figure series based on characters from the Tekken (not the fighting game, but the live-action tokusatsu series from the 1970s) “Iron Men of Tekken” (鉄人タイガーセブン or similar derivations).

These specific figures are a designer toy line released by Planet Toys in collaboration with Artstorm, known for their nostalgic and offbeat collectibles inspired by Showa-era Japanese pop culture.

The characters are part of a parody group called “Real Action Heroes Tekken Gokudo” — essentially stylized as mafia/yakuza-like versions of classic tokusatsu heroes, with names and outfits that each play on a different theme or pun. Each one has exaggerated features, bold kanji on their heads (like “Love”, “Iron”, “Meat”, etc.), and matching outfits, often as commentary on traditional Japanese tropes or as absurdist art.

They’re very collectible among niche sofubi and tokusatsu fans for their quirky and humorous reinterpretation of a very earnest genre.’

It can’t provide any actual links to support what it is saying, asking it again it said that they’re not based on a specific show but are original creations so who knows what it’s making up, and I can’t find anything else online to get more info.
