Valuation needed: hand-made figurines

#1 · Posted: 21 May 2012 11:24

I bought 4 hand-made figurines of Tintin in DR Congo. The sculptures work in tiny "atelier", sitting on tree trunks. The details and natural colouring are superb. There are 2 cars with Tintin and Captain Haddock, one elephant and one rhino with Tintin on top.
I have photos if required.

Moderator Note: Hi, Christina! If they are official merchandise, with proper manufacturerâ€™s information, copyright in the name of HergÃ© or Moulinsart, etc., then itâ€™s fine to post images; however, if they are locally carved pieces (and they usually are), we cannot. This is to keep us on the right side of the copyright laws, and thus keep the site open!
We can go so far as to say that such figurines are not uncommon, can often be found in big cities in Europe, and therefore seldom would be worth much money.
