This grouping probably represents the Daoist deities called the 'Eight Immortals' who are described at length by an article under their name at wikipedia.com. The factory or artisan stamp on the base isn't clear enough to discern the characters. You might try again, taking a time exposure with camera on a tripod and lighting the stamps from a side angle to improve clarity.
Best regards,
Bill H.
