Thompson with Bowler Hat 12cm Resin Figure Ref. 42230

Ever have a day where you feel completely blindsided by your own wardrobe? Welcome to the club. This finely crafted 12cm resin figure perfectly captures Detective Thompson. (Check the drooping walrus mustache) in his absolute finest moment of utter, hilariously dignified chaos from Hergé's classic adventure, The Secret of the Unicorn.

While hot on the trail of the villainous Bird brothers, our brilliant detective crossed paths with Max Bird, who decided the best escape strategy was to violently yank Thompson's iconic black bowler hat straight down over his eyes. Rather than chasing the suspect, Thompson is frozen here in a permanent state of awkward crouching, using both hands to desperately pry the tight hat off his face. He is completely, blissfully oblivious to the criminal mastermind escaping right in front of him, leaving a deeply stressed Tintin and Captain Haddock to clean up the mess.

Hand-painted and standing securely on a beige base, this premium collector's piece is a beautiful reminder that while failure may not be an option, looking incredibly ridiculous while doing it definitely is. The high-quality resin figure stands 12cm (4.7") tall and comes packaged in a protective clear transit cylinder complete with a certificate of authenticity. It is officially licensed by Tintinimaginatio and shipped directly from our staging facility in Sausalito, California.
