I absolutely adore these guys, because they're soooo cute! And of course they're very versatile. Other than moulding hardboiled eggs, my most common use for them is, actually, to mould bread (such as in all these posts)!
The bottom of the mould, as can be seen in the orange bunny, can be used to make cutouts from cheese and ham, and possibly a slice of bread. I haven't tried this function yet though.
The bunny, fish, bear and car moulds are all from the Yude Tama range, and are good for eggs about 55g. Any bigger and the egg white will stick out and result in a rough/broken egg (a failed example is in this post), and smaller eggs will not fill up the mould completely, which means part(s) of the shape go missing, eg. the ears of the bear or the mouth of the fish.
The star and heart moulds are from Daiso, and they're so huge, they need at least 60g eggs to fill up the space! With smaller eggs, the shapes simply do not come through well.
