Fariboles: Asterix and Obelix - Full Speed Gauls!

[Shoo]

Get out of the way!
Running at high speed, the Gauls fear no obstacle!
Eric Delaval dared to take up the challenge of sculpting two very different running techniques and to make the whole thing fit on only two small points of contact with the ground... despite the corpulence of one of the characters! Idefix is in the best place to enjoy the view and the speed: he seems to be the small passenger of this impressive machine launched at full speed.

What a great way to dust off your shelves!

Yeah, I love me some Asterix and Obelix, but 1,490 EUR ($2,365 AUD) is a joke for something at that scale, even as cool as it looks.

Exactly. I'm always game for some A&O merch, but it's ridiculous.

Funny thing is, it sold out on their site yesterday in about 8 minutes.

I assume they are renders, not the finished product

Impressive sculpt especially with how little of them is touching the ground, wonder what the finished piece will look like

I think it's the real sculpt.

Damn, the 1.5K statue looks like that?!

That (Kinder toy?) reminds me of those soft-ish plastic little static figures/quasi-statues you’d find on bookstores. They’d have things like Asterix, Lucky Luke, Marsoupilami, real world armies (Romans, Napoleonic Troops, Knights, etc), classic characters like Zorro and the such.

Looks too clean and perfect too me

Looks too clean and perfect too me

Shadows, lighting, parts being out of focus, the interstices between fingers... and the fact the pics actually say "Photographie" on them make me think these are real pics. : )
