I 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

Funny 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.

flintstones is long running, and is even a cartoon translated worldwide into many languages, but only the movies caused new toys.

Just 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).

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.

Shame there's no actual Lego Astérix, those figures are atrocious.
Whould love to build the whole village set by set.

Lego is based in denmark, why don’t they try appealing to europeans more again? Last time they did was sports

European 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.

Hello 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

French 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

Spaniard 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.

Where'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?

I'm a 25 yo bong and I love asterix, I grew up reading them. My friends weren't really as into it but they loved Tintin. I don't buy many figures, mostly plushies and bricks like lego, but I probably would if there were some good asterix and obelix figures

Does anybody remember the name of the toy company that made an absolute ton of Asterix toys around 1980 or so?

I remember them being a bitch and a half to buy in secondhand market because 1) they came with a comical amount of accessories which got lost over time, and 2) the entire distribution was almost entirely outside of the anglosphere so there's a language barrier to trying to collect them as well
