Tintin Aviator Jacket 12 cm Resin Figure (Ref: 42261)

For the dedicated Tintin collector, this exceptional figure captures our favorite young reporter at the very outset of a landmark journey. Taken directly from the opening panel of The Castafiore Emerald (Les Bijoux de la Castafiore), the scene finds Tintin and Captain Haddock enjoying a peaceful, casual stroll through the woods surrounding Marlinspike Hall. This serene walk, however, is short-lived; it sets the entire plot in motion when they cross paths with Miarka, a lost Romani girl, leading Haddock to generously invite her community to camp on the safety of the estate grounds.

Crafted with the absolute fidelity expected of the official Tintinimaginatio collection, this 12 cm resin figurine perfectly translates Hergé’s precise ligne claire style into three dimensions. Moving away from his classic trench coat, Tintin is depicted here in his relaxed, off-duty attire: a stylish brown aviator-style zippered jacket featuring crisp knitted cuffs, a distinct brown collar, a bright blue knit sweater underneath, and his classic brown trousers. Hand-painted with stunning accuracy, the vibrant tones match the original comic panel's palette perfectly. Caught mid-stride on a round tan base with an expression of quiet curiosity, it stands as a brilliant, character-driven tribute to the opening moments of one of Hergé's most unique and domestic masterpieces, making it a stellar addition to any serious Tintin collection.
