4.5" Kolorkids
These 4.5" Kolorkids are unique for being the only minis that are neither finger puppets nor bean bags. The promotion was advertised in newspapers in the Netherlands in 1992.
The ad above translates to:
At Kodak Express, [there are] new Kolorkids in five cozy, pastel colours. Also at Kodak Express, the five Kolorkids [are available] in the Olympic colours. Get is as a gift* with the new Kodak Gold Ⅱ️ Films. Hurry to Kodak Express where you can collect all ten Kolorkids.
*While supplies last. Or half the value.
This series of Kolorkids includes five Kolorkids, each of which is available in two colours: a pastel and a colour from the Olympic rings. Each of the ten Kolorkids has a different name. Kolorkins from this series have been found with bilingual tags written in Dutch and French, but no address (suggesting availability in Belgium or BENELUX countries). Kolorkids in Olympic colours have been found with English tags and an address on the back for "Kodak Australasia" (probably serving Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of Oceania). Further complicating matters, photos exist of Dummy with an English tag with the name "Click", and of Blacky with an English tag with the name "Focus", but the backside of the tag is not visible in photos, so it's unclear if they were from Australia or another English-speaking region (such as the UK). A Pinky, allegedly from Australia but without a name tag, is known to exist. A lack of information makes it impossible to confirm if all ten Kolorkids were available in Australia, and if their names differed from the Dutch/French names.
The table below matches Kolorkids in Olympic colours on the left side with their pastel equivalent on the right side.

The ad doesn't include an order form, or specify a promotion end date, because of the nature of the promotion. Instead of mailing proofs of purchase, Kolorkids were included with the purchase of film, right in the box. "Or half the value" suggests that it may have been possible to purchase the Kolorkid by itself for half the price of the film.
Smaller ads also appeared in newspapers in the Netherlands in June 1992 for a promotion to get a free Kolorkid from June 1 to June 30, but the ad shows Snap (a finger puppet), so it's unclear if this is the same promotion.
