Peter Evans Car Boot Finds, our good friend Peter Evans had told me about his find. Here is what he said.
I bought figures at the Widnes Collectors and car boot Fai. There I found two lots, I paid £10 for a box of metal figures and £5 for a box of plastics. (Note boot sale is equivalent to our flea market.)
Peter Evans Car Boot Photos
Peter sent me photos of some of the figures that he got. This photo shows various superheroes, Train Your Dragon and Minions figuresPeter also acquired a nice group of the Mokarex coffee giveaways that someone had painted.Here we have a nice mix of figures. The large cowboy is by Cherilea. The Napoleonic figure is by Hinchcliffe and metal. Fontanini made the knight in the back. The Indian figure is unknown. Finally, the crossbowman is by Papo.A nice mix of Indian figures made by Crescent, Charbens, and Cherilea.A Mix of Romans and Indians from Hong Kong. ABC made copies of the Herald Trojans even changing the foot bowman to a mounted figure. Star toys did the swoppet type figures based on the Britains figures.Various French figures, Lord of the Ring chess piece, Reamsa track worker and a caveman by QBC. In the front row are resin evazona, Guilver copy of Airfix Japanese, a metal knight by ABC from Hong Kong, and an unknown baby figure.A group of the Fontanini clowns Finally, in plastic, we have a lot of Timmee army figures, a Horrible Histories English soldier minus his weapon, and a rare Supreme prince from a castle set. It always amazes me how certain figures show up like the Timmee.army. I know that timmee was done in Germany and was copied Bonux in France as a giveaway. My question is the figure from the U.S. or not? Then you wonder how they got there.

A great find and only down the road from where I live. Does anyone know the manufacturer of the various plastic Napoleonic French figures, I am sure I had some of that maker a long time ago ?
