XFLR6 Rocket 1000 Piece Puzzle With Poster Ref. 81567

Embark on a thrilling journey to the final frontier of Hergé’s imagination. This premium 1000-piece puzzle captures a monumental milestone in comic history: the dramatic launch of the XFLR6 experimental rocket from the pages of Destination Moon (page 15, vignette D2). Far from a routine test, this high-stakes moment is filled with technical brilliance, cutting-edge espionage, and the unmistakable genius of Professor Calculus.

Deep within the heavily guarded Syldavian mountains at the Sprodj Atomic Research Centre, Professor Calculus has been secretly designing an extraordinary atomic-powered vessel capable of carrying humanity to the Moon. Before risking a manned mission, Calculus constructs the XFLR6—a smaller, radio-controlled prototype designed to capture photographs of the Moon's mysterious far side. This puzzle captures the exact second of liftoff: the sleek red-and-white checkered rocket roaring to life on its launchpad, a brilliant cloud of smoke billowing beneath it, while a tense assembly of scientists and officials watch the historic ascent. It is the defining moment that proved space travel was no longer a dream, but an impending reality for Tintin and his companions.

Crafted in Poland with exceptional print quality and precision-cut pieces, this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle offers an absorbing, rewarding challenge for Tintin enthusiasts and space-age fans aged 10 and up. To help you navigate the intricate gantry scaffolding and the iconic checkered hull, the box includes a high-fidelity reference poster that perfectly replicates Hergé's clean line work and vibrant color palette. Generously sized at 5 cm (2") by 31.5 cm (12.4") by 22.5 cm (8.9"), this puzzle set makes a stunning addition to any collector's shelf or the ultimate weekend project for anyone ready to piece together an iconic piece of retro-futuristic history.
