Peter Evans Finds June 2016 we are back again with a great bunch of finds that our very good friend Peter Evans has in his travels and at the Plastic warrior show. As I have said before the Plastic Warrior show is a great place to find unusual figures for your collection. Laurie and I have never been disappointed on what we found at the show.
Peter Evans Finds June 2016 What We Received
The first photo show Indian dancer and a Roman. I have no idea who made the Indian dancer, but you can see it is influence by the Crescent 54mm Indian dancer. The Roman is I believe Blue box as the under side of the base is silver. It is one of the historical figures.
Next in Peter Evans Finds June 2016 is a western Cowboy with lasso and mount Indian with spear and shield. The cowboy is Hong Kong while the Indian is by Reisler of Denmark.
Third photo shows two resin Indians. I think to standing Indian could be used for Sitting Bull.
The third photo has an English Civil War Roundhead and Baggage man. The English Civil War is conversion of the Timpo Napoleonic Highlander. The baggage man I can not make out who made him.
These two photos are pirate resin figures knows I like pirates The pirates are about 3 inches tall.
In this photo we have one of the Lone Star and palace guard. The guard is 1 3/4 inches high and I wonder if it is for an advertising piece.
Another thing Peter knows I like to collect our superheroes. It goes back when I created by own superheroes by painting some MPC ring hand figures. Today you have many options. The two standing figures are mini mates a surprise bag in the UK. The arms come off and be switch with the other figures in the series. The figure on the left is Cyborg which will be in the Justice League movie and one on the right is Batman. The item in the middle is a pencil top of the head of Black Widow. In that you have all the Avengers from the first movie of the same name.
These are Marksmen Civil War figures designed by Peter Cole. When Mike Ellis had the figures he had them factory painted to see if he could sell in souvenir shops. The mold is now property of Replicants.
These four figures are Trojan WWII Germans. As I mention with the Trojan Roy Rogers figures this was a small company that did a series of figures in the 1950’s.
Two of the Technolog Hunters or Victorian very strange can not wait to here the story behind these figures.
Various Army figures
Gem Models Dick Whittington and 40mm Pirate. Gem models used their Robin Hood removed the bow and added the stick.
Lastly some 45mm native bearers possible Hong Kong.
What will be next finds from Peter Evans? We will just have to wait and see.
Nice finds.
The indian.eagle wizzard dancer is by APS Italy.The natives are copies of surfer figures made in 80’s.There 8 poses total.
The prone crowling army I believe is timpo solid or reisler copied.
The kneeling and standing are french brand or copied from.
The trowing grenade is by another british brand that create british soldiers out of original timpo solid poses .But not copied as they change uniform .
I will get name later.
The indian type palace small gurard is from a comic.I need to find set and send pic.
I see Gem set is intersting as a copy poses from various brands.
I like the pirate poses,nice.
I love the english civil war made of timpo
I just confirm with my data; the throwing grenade and possible crawling are by Speedwell that manufacture then for (UNA and VP) from 1958/1965.No all carry stamp bellow,some did but Speedwell is the main British factory that copied set mix with poses from Timpo solid GI’s , Britain and Herald khaki poses and sold then painted or partially painted in boxes.
Kentoys is the one that inspired by the Timpo US GIs solid poses made the British , but changed to British uniform and helmets wile keeping same poses as original Timpo solid poses..
I think the Russian figures modern huntersmay had be done by ORIET!?, but I could be wrong. I know they did 4 to 5 poses in same set.
Andrey will know..
The Indians(first eagle winged) was done by ABS or TEXAS ,set has 16 foot poses and 8 mounted, some poses were base ,not exact cloned in Cresent and Marx,others complete new poses beautiful depicted, with bases they are 54 mm approx.With out about 50/52 mm.

Great finds Peter. Really nice stuff to see from all over place. Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff, Peter. Keep hunting.
Funny, the head of the pirate looks like a twin of the Ideal 54mm Pirate holding 2 pistols and firing one pistol.
I have a key chain which was some sort of give away for Captains Morgan’s rum and the one pirate pictured with his foot on the cask is somewhat close to that Captain Morgan pose.
