@mattdonne, I'm not sure what technique you used to cut and save the ones in this pack but they're all extremely large for no particular reason I can discern. A cut should be anything from 40-120kb depending on size, so not sure how you managed to get them to be 2MB. I've tweaked them a bit and will reupload them shortly.
I recommend using remove.bg for your cuts. It's a fantastic free online tool which does the heavy lifting for you by removing the background in the source image, leaving you to only rotate, crop and/or nudge the collar upwards. It's tremendously easy to use and provides fantastic quality. With it, you can go from source to cut in a couple of minutes for the vast majority of images.
Here's a couple of videos on how to use it, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons 😉 If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.

Hey Mons, I'm not sure if it's due to the original source images being very large in the first instance?
I've used the techniques you've helped me develop over the past year or so and I haven't done anything different to other cuts I've produced which is odd

Not really, the size of the source will reflect the quality of the eventual cut, not the filesize 😕
