AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Articulated figurine representing the character of Albator (Captain Harlock), from the Japanese manga universe "Albator 84". The "Flexy" type figurine features a recognizable slender silhouette, with flexible and deformable limbs typical of 1980s flexible toy lines. This model illustrates the famous hero wearing his iconic black top adorned with a white skull on the chest, a central visual element of the character.

The figurine wears matte white pants, with tall black boots and yellow cuffs. The long gloves are reddish-brown, matching the double belt and accessories visible at the waist. The hair, molded in one piece, is brown and voluminous, faithful to the character's aesthetic in the animated series. The face is finely detailed with a grave expression, typical of Albator.

In this view, the vintage aspect of the object is clearly visible, with a visible patina on the legs and boots, as well as slight signs of wear on the painted surface, particularly on the white and yellow parts. The figurine appears designed to be handled and bent, as evidenced by the dynamic pose and flexible joints visible in the arms and legs.

The photo's setting highlights the object against a background of old books and a textured surface, reinforcing the retro atmosphere and authenticity of the toy. No manufacturer's logo is legible on the visible side, but the mention "Tadashi Flexy" in the keywords suggests a licensed production or a specific range from the manufacturer, characterized by these flexible limbs.

The figurine does not show any detachable accessories visible on this side. The details of the boots, with circular yellow rivets, add a touch of originality to the whole. The slightly inclined posture highlights the flexibility of the object, typical of the soft articulated toys of the era.
