I don't know too much about Fabuland or the Birkenhead Point, Sydney printing, but it seems only two of them are listed on BrickLink and only one seller has one of each of those for sale at $35 a piece. If you could take single shots of each one before selling them, I'm sure it would be of value to the BrickLink catalog.

Personally, I don't know how much you will get for these items - yes, they seem very rare, but it's a question of whether or not there's enough (or any) demand for these pieces.

They seem rare but isn't most Fabuland some what rare? The sets are over 30 years old right?

Like Vynsane said, they might be rare, but there might not be any demand for them either. Rare doesn't equal money. However you are looknig for info and I would do what Vysane said, add the pictures to Bricklink and maybe someone will see them and know some more about them, and then iff you do want to sell them at least they go to a nice home.

I kinda doubt that anyone would spend $35 per figure just to mistreat/ melt them down, but fabuland figures don't have massive collectors appeal. You will need to find the rare collector to get them off your hands.

/Fabuland Nerd Warning

These are very rare. The rarest is the bird on right, the reason is the paint on the nose, It chips off like crazy. If you want to keep it nice, wrap it in bubble wrap and then put that in a plastic bag. If it was me I would do that to all of them. :) The chest printing is also very nice, you got your self a little jackpot here. They are worth $10-30 a pop. If you are selling them, please Pm me, I am very interested.

I though lego should have reissued Fabuland rebranded as "Animal Crossing" liscensed.

All I know about them is that people on Eurobricks use head shots of those figs as avatars.
