The question is simple.
Which category do these items belong in?
Mi Model Cars.
Will you leave them at Figurines?
Also fine.
But what do you do with those 97 other such Tintin figurines/cars that are now at Modelcars.
Ern by extension also those of Guust Flater, Blake and Mortimer, ...

They are not reissues.
View the series and the name says it all: Voitures de collection de tintin 1:12.
No. 1 will be released in 2021 by Moulinsart; nr 2 and 3 released 2022 under the new name of Mouinsart ---> tintinimaginatio.
The only question here is: in which category do they belong?
Those scale 1:12 are now at Figurines.
And why?
3 similar ones (the ford t, the taxi checker; the red racing car) were therefore previously introduced in model cars. And 94 others from Tintin.
If you leave these 3 with figurines, what do you do with those 419 items that are now with model cars and have Comics as a kind?
So I would say.
Either all cars that are 'comics related' at Modelcars or at Figurines.

I've only just seen this thread, I've already emailed with buizer.
Yes, all those items where a cartoon character is in a car are not correctly listed under model car, it is about the cartoon character, not the car "Adventures of Tintin" it is not Adventures of Bugatti"
That's how it should be #9820323 with a link from car brand to model cars
I know, it's a lot of work... I see it or not.

416 similar items have been with model cars for a long time.
And why do you think?
So they may be listed under model cars, but they can still be found very quickly and easily via the filter Type 'Comic related'.
In terms of object, it is always a model car.
Coincidentally I now take out 1 that was added to figurines by the importer.
And the discussion is already heating up again.
416 times it has been judged that they belong to model cars.
And suddenly the 417th time would it suddenly have to go to statuettes?
And why?
As far as I know, an image is still something 'static.
A sculpture does not drive, a model car does; that's the big difference for me

Always nice to have a heated discussion at tropical temperatures.
It has been written before, there are items that could be placed in more than one category.
A choice must be made between them.
The model cars of cars that were/are shown in comic books have traditionally been placed in the section Model cars.
We leave them there, even though they could easily be placed next to the figurines by Moulinsart or Leblon Delienne in the Figurines section.

I'm just answering your question, and if you don't like my answer, don't ask.

Just debunking the "big difference" that figurines can also move #8675977

Me too, otherwise it will be a hell of a game and it's too hot for that. (period)

Sorry I missed your message because I was busy with this message.
The model cars of cars that were/are shown in comic books have traditionally been placed in the section Model cars.
We leave them there, even though they could easily be placed next to the figurines by Moulinsart or Leblon Delienne in the Figurines section.
I'm fine with it, and now really...(period)

If you change something, it is better to check the internet beforehand.
You can easily search with image anyway...
Hegt is an Alfa Romeo P3 and not a Bugatti.
