The UFO "candy miniatures" are the Konami toys which have
been flooding eBay for the past year. The detail is amazing
(and quite accurate!), but like you say, the toys are quite
small.
You can see more photos of them (and my carpet) at:

toys on my carpet in the "special features" section of the
Italian UFO DVDs!)
