Tintin Nanoblocks

For years I’ve wanted to see a Lego Tintin. From what I can tell so far, the movie has not triggered nearly as many action figures and model toys as some other major action movies have in the past, and I thought maybe even more might be made for the sake of collectors. Instead we got Weta’s incredible but rather pricy collector’s figures and the plastoy figures, and recently the McDonald’s toys I am still hoping make it to the USA. It’s safe to say Lego isn’t making anything Tintin for this movie, but I keep hoping for the next one. In the meantime, these japanese ”nanoblocks” are rather interesting, actually based off of  the albums. I’ve only been able to find them online at very,very high prices, but they are cool, there’s no doubt about that.

    Long time lurker and young-but-lifelong Tintin fan, hullo!

    I actually work at the toy company that’s distributing Nanoblock in the USA! Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten ahold of these Tintin nanos…so disappointing. I believe it’s an issue of albums vs movie licensing.

    But hopefully the US will be seeing some other Tintin toys soon. ;)

    These look cool!
    I am a huge lego fan and have many Star Wars Lego sets. To have Tintin included would be a dream come true (much to the annoyance of my wife!).
    As usual we see the ****ers at Moulinsart price basic Tintin toys and items out of reach for the average fan. Everything I have of Tintin is made in China so the excuse of quality isn’t one. Why is it so easy to get hold of everything else except Tintin? Grrrrrrr.
