New Tintin Merchandise Coming Soon

We placed a large order of new Tintin items a couple of weeks ago and expect the shipment to start arriving in about two weeks. Here is a sneak peek of SOME of the items on order. We are particularly excited about the Lead Figurines as they are all made by hand, and painted by hand, by the Pixi Studio in France. Each Lead set will be paired with its Tintin book and will be priced around $220.00.
