Toy OTD: Plastoy Tintin PVC Figures: Thomson And Thompson
I'm constantly impressed by the quality of Plastoy figures - the sculpts are on-model and well-posed, the paint work is strong, and they have good taste in licenses.I don't often get figures this small, but I was struck by the subtle differences in the two brothers, and I'm a big Tintin fan in general.
I bought these at a store in San Francisco called Karikter - both of them are available at their online store for $7.50 + shipping each.

Those are nice.
In Paris we passed a shop in the beaux arts district(well, it's near an art school but I frankly can't recall the arr. nnow)seemingly filled entirely with Tintin toys and figures...of course, it was closed-merde! : (
I found some cool stores open when I was there (in '91 or '92), but only found them on my last day there. I had very little time to shop before returning to the airport! :(
Jeff, I just posted something I've been thinking about since reading your Con report--and falling in love with your toy pics(again)lately...I hope I don't misstate anything and that it's all okay with you--since I reference you! Have a look and let me know. : )
