More Tintin Papercraft Toys

A little while ago I blogged about a Tintin paper toy. Well, I just found two more: Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus. Am hopeful this designer will do a Bianca next! Thanks to Cleber Machado for these awesome toys.

Tintin at Yale

This just in from Cooper, ace reporter….

TIntin is a fan of American college football. Who wouldn’t be on such a nice Fall day? Cooper writes: “Here is tintin watching some football at the yale bowl in new haven, CT.”

Tintin Cast is Confirmed

Finally! We now know beyond a shadow of a doubt who will play Castafiore, Professor Calculus and more! The final cast roster also points to the fact that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are taking some liberties with casting choices. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so we will withhold judgment until the movie is out. But early kudos to Spielberg and Jackson for casting an actual opera singer to play Bianca Castafiore!
