Timely Released: Tintin & Haddock from the Secret of the Unicorn film
« on: October 10, 2011, 13:26:50 »
I found this in ebay. They look quite similar to the comic characters even though Playmobil Tintin's hair is bushy  :P Good try and........ good price ;D

Tintin's trousers are wrong!  :hmm:
They should be beige or brown. The beige kneepants from the new Redcoat-officers would be perfect for a Tintin-custom.

If "Moulinsart" sees this, the seller will get a lawsuit.  ;) The foundation holds the rights on everything that has anything to do with "Tintin" after Hergé (the author) died in 1983. (except the movie-rights, which were sold long ago to Spielberg).

They could as well get a lawsuit from Geobra. They let the buyer believe that these are genuine PM figures, with a box number...4350, I checked, it's the power supply.
They should have customised Tintin's hair, IMO.

I agree. The seller definitely should have mentioned in the description that the item is customized and not a real Playmobil set. I hope the buyer knows what they have bought.

I think that Tintin's hair piece has been slightly modified? It looks like there is a bulge where his quiff should be. :)

Wow! i would kill for this set, and it ain't even genuine PM! My grown son and I both adore TinTin. When he was 3, we bought our first TinTin book in 1992 in Belgium, and quickly realized why it was the rage in Europe.

Why in hells bells hasn't PM done a real TinTin like this?

Come on PM, Pgal :wave:

Nice customs  :love:! It looks like they've been listed again with some small differences.

Yup, they have listed two more sets without the photo of the box but saying that they are boxed. The second listing looks like the one just posted, with number 260873668599 on US eBay.

I looked at the seller's feedback, and it seems that they sell a lot of posters. The feedback looks very good. So it is a legitimate seller until PM knocks on their door and delivers the legal papers for suing them. Would hate to be in their position.

PM should have signed a deal for TinTin characters a very long time ago, Pgal :wave:
