Does anyone have more info about this figurine of Tintin on the dromedary? The scene is from the album 'The Crab with the Golden Claws'. The inscription: "Ha! Les brigands!..." Year? Value? Number of copies?

thorgal57 It might be useful to inquire at a comic book store that sells figurines. For example, comic book store Barabas has the expertise. I didn't come across your image using Google Lens. It was certainly an eye-opener (at least for me) that there are companies stocking a lot of Tintin for D3 printers. See https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/tintin. Is all of that copyrighted?? In any case, it is a beautiful image, beautiful colors, but not my taste; a half camel just like those half Tintin busts isn't my thing. There might be more responses, so I am certainly no expert.

Harry56 I find it strange that I can't find any info about the figurine on the internet. Not even via AI (chatgpt)...

thorgal57 There are members on LD who are much better at searching than I am. Who knows, it might still turn up. Assuming it were a one-off piece, made using a D3 printer, it seems like an expensive joke to me. And I know absolutely nothing about D3 printers. Leike-w can you perhaps find it?

It could be a broken figurine of this one.



There are some differences, but if this one has ever fallen, and kindly a bit of painting...

Not only is the painting different, but also the folds in the red blanket and the hand with the rein.

If this is a dropped specimen (no idea), then more would have broken off. And especially the protruding parts like the blanket (we are missing the legs as well, anyway). Somewhat creative people will know how to adapt it, or in this case, the blanket.

Google Lens does not come up with an exact match, but it does with this one that looks suspiciously similar.

The photo of #1842569 is slightly clearer.
You might very well be right, but that blanket in particular seems different to me.

Harry56 thanks for the thoughtfulness ;) hehe.

Yes, I did some searching. Unfortunately, I also have to admit that I didn't find any further information about this.
An identical image, only those posted on FB (Chris)...
Since I certainly have no knowledge of the various creations by Moul. or Pixi etc., I am a bit troubled by (what stands out while searching for something like this): a) the weight b) the color deviations ( especially the backrest ) and the black base (doesn't seem to be a standard size and color), etc.
Personally, I am also leaning towards a 3D-like appearance (how much does plastic weigh at that size?), so perhaps a resin mold? So to me it looks like a 'machine-made' copy of an object; by the looks of it, it is too 'neat' for handmade work.

Amazingly enough, there are countless small variations in all the figurines I have seen online.

This one is also on ld #4828695 , and I think they are two different images. The blanket is red in one, and black in the other. The rope handle is also a different color.

thorgal57 Did comic store Beo give you some more detailed information then? Is it an original production or a repaired figure after all? From what I see quickly on the internet, the larger figures by Emett have a small run.
