Well noted by Gav, these are as suggested probably one form of numbers of stylized items with composite traditional elements being produced commercially in China. For me the first clue is the vajra atop the helmet. These are for symbolic ritual weapons or objects most associated with Tibet, but also found in degree elsewhere in Tantric context.
