    tintin info

    To all the experts out there... Didn't a European company release a somewhat mego-like figure of Tin Tin? I vaguely remember seeing one in a Toy Shop listing many years ago... just wondering.

              Are you kidding me? There are dozens and dozens of toys of Tintin, or Kuifje as we call him in Dutch.

                  With regards to the toy line, in 1986 CGI from China made a fully articulated Tintin Doll which was copyrighted to Lombard and was sold in Europe under the Lombard brand name. The original doll came clothed in Tintin's standard blue jumper, white shirt along with blue trousers and black shoes. However, also produced were sets of clothes that could be bought separately so you could change the clothes to reflect the adventure you wanted the Tintin figure to participate in. Although extremely rare and difficult to categorically confirm, there appear to have been 10 available sets of clothes. These were: Tintin in the Congo, Tintin in America, Cigars of the Pharaoh, The Blue Lotus, King Ottokar's Sceptre, The Black Island, Explorers on the Moon, Prisoners of the Sun, Land of Black Gold, and Tintin in Tibet.

                  There was also the set of five figures from Seri:

                  s-l1600 TINTIN.jpg

                  These 8inch figures were made in 1985 and are exact replicas made after the famous TinTin Comic Book Characters. These figures were made in one small run and were officially licensed by Hergé Foundation from France. Produced by Seri from France. Made in China.

                        Apologies for the "outfit" links.
                        KOMonger, if you have pictures of all 10 outfits, why not post them all. Would be great to see.
                        The two I tried to post were Tintin-cgi lombard-outfit "le sceptre d' ottokar" (new IN BLISTER), and Tintin-cgi lombard-outfit "cigars of pharaoh" (new IN BLISTER), both priced at £154 each ($214).
                        I have recently just managed to get an all original Tintin Lombard figure. I already have the SERI set, as pictured in an earlier post. A really nice set to have. Shame they did not go onto make other figures.

                              Very nice, and quite rare. Hence the prices being demanded.
