I have a couple of minis in my collection that I bought new back when I was at school in around 1985 or 86 but have yet to discover exactly what models they are so far.
I seem to remember that they came from a shop in Bedford at the back of the prison above what is now an Indian resaurant and they were a special of some kind. A few of us in the Dungeons & Dragons Club bought them and they were 30p each if memory serves me correctly.
If anyone could help identify them for me then it would be much appreciated
