AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This figurine depicts one of the famous detectives Dupont from the Tintin universe, based on Hergé's work. The character is molded in a standing posture, dressed in a black suit, black tie, white shirt, and dark shoes, faithful to the comic strip's graphic style. The face features a characteristic black mustache, a rounded nose, and a neutral expression. A black hat, molded into the figure, completes the outfit. The hands are detailed, one closed, the other open. The figurine has a glossy finish over the entire suit, evoking the appearance of vintage models. No inscription or marking is visible on the front of the object.

The surface of the figurine shows some signs of wear, mainly on the hands and face, as well as on the shoes, where dark marks and small paint losses are visible. The overall appearance remains consistent, with good color uniformity and a rendering faithful to the aesthetic of Tintin licensed products. The molding reveals some period irregularities on the contours and facial details, typical of old productions.

The general style and craftsmanship correspond to the range of figurines sold by Bully, a brand known for its adaptations of comic book characters in the 1970s-1980s. The appearance of the painted plastic, the simplicity of the joints, and the sober color palette reinforce this impression of a vintage object. No accessories or base are visible in the photo.

The figurine is photographed against a natural ochre background, which highlights the character's colors. The light emphasizes the shine of the suit and the facial features. No major structural defects appear on the visible side, apart from rubbing and general wear.
