TINTIN 1:43 - Model car (15)

Tintin in the Car Collection – Atlas Editions – Batch of 15 official miniature vehicles with original boxes
Magnificent lot of 15 official miniature vehicles from the Atlas Editions collection "Tintin in the Car", inspired by the mythical adventures of Tintin created by Hergé. This collection is nowadays particularly sought after by collectors of Franco-Belgian comics, die-cast car models, and Tintin memorabilia.
Each vehicle faithfully reproduces the emblematic cars appearing in Tintin’s albums. The models are made of die-cast metal with many high-quality plastic parts, offering an especially neat finish. The characters are finely hand-painted and the dioramas inside the boxes directly recall the original frames from the albums.
This lot notably includes vehicles from the most famous albums of the series:
The Red Taxi from The Crab with the Golden Clasps
The Lancia from The Calculus Affair
Tintin in Tibet’s Cadillac Fleetwood
The Lotus Blue’s limousine
The Castafiore Emerald’s taxi
The 2CV Citroën from The Calculus Affair
The Lincoln Torpedo from The Cigars of the Pharaoh
Tintin in the Land of the Black Gold’s red Jeep
Tintin’s government car from Tintin and the Picaros
The machine gun from The Shooting Star (L’Oreille Cassée)
Several other iconic models from Hergé’s universe.
All miniatures are presented in their Atlas original display boxes, with illustrated backgrounds representing the corresponding scenes from the albums. The boxes are included, with some normal signs of storage visible on some of them, not detracting from the overall presentation.
The vehicles offer an excellent level of detail:
- Accurately reproduced bodywork
- Meticulous chromes and accessories
- Wheels true to the era models
- Tintin, Milou, Haddock, Dupond and Dupont or other protagonists according to the scenes
- Album-specific printed décors
