>Second best selling comic in the world>an over 50 year old media empire of video games, movies, and cartoons>absolutely ZERO decent modern Asterix figuresI don't get it
>>11237378I saw a lot of toys during my last Euro trip, but it seems that Smurfs are still the biggest thing. I too want that guy, and I keep hoping Dasin or whoever will make one
>>11237378Funny to see this just after I noticed they had Astérix in Britain in Amazon Prime. I really need to see it again, it's been two decades since the last time.
Playmobil is where it's at
>>11237595>such a big guy he needs a plate to standDamn
>>11237597>if I cut those pigtails off, would you die?>it would be extremely painful…>you’re a big gaul>for you
>>11237595barf. what an injustice in his own continent
>>11237378Just because something might be popular it doesn't mean that there is significant enough interest to produce merchandise of it (In this case action figures).

>>11237636>Tell me about Obanelix! Why does he carry the menhir?
Euro LIDL also got some bootlego in their Playtive line Astérix themed.You can still find some in store or webstore depending on your country.The problem was with Uderzo (maybe Goscinny too ?) there always was some low key stuff but not good toys despite numerous proposal.
>>11237886Shame there's no actual Lego Astérix, those figures are atrocious.Whould love to build the whole village set by set.
>>11238018>>11237886Lego is based in denmark, why don’t they try appealing to europeans more again? Last time they did was sports
>>11238022European myself, Lego was my favorite thing as a kid and Astérix was a part of it too (watched the cartoon movies, own almost all the albums). Lego + Astérix just feels like a very good match that should have happened long ago.
>>11237658Hello Kitty is an evergreen merchandise juggernaut, how does it get away with having literally no fandom surrounding its media? The media is barely even there for it, just an occasional cartoon and maybe some picture books? The whole IP is pretty much JUST merchandise and not much else, yet somehow it sells unfathomably well and gets quality releases like Chogokin
>>11237378French man here, only 40-50 and more years old men care about Asterix (men such as my father), no kid care and young men rather buy figure for japanimation
>>11238760English & 35; I was raised on Asterix and Tintin comics.
>>11238760Spaniard and 38, I mostly buy anime figures and own a shitton of them, but I would totally buy good toys of Asterix and Tintin. Read the comics as a kid many times and still get the new Asterix ones.
>>11238760>>11238762>>11238866Where's the goddamn "90's" nostalgia merch for Asterix then? Surely he had at least the same relevant presence that Tintin cartoon had. Or was there better nostalgia in Europe?
>>11237595Based Playmobil
>>11237595Based. My mother is a huge fan so I bought her every single village set.

>>11239643>the moon rocketI built it in Lego when I was a kid inspired by the comic blueprints, minifigure sized do it was pretty damn tall.
