Collector's model in metal and injected plastic, from the official Hachette collection, faithfully reproducing the two-tone Japanese cab (white and orange/red) that crosses the protagonists' path in the streets of Tokyo during this famous technological adventure by Edgar P. Jacobs. The miniature includes a driver at the wheel and is presented on its original black display base. Characteristics and contents of the lot: Status: mint in blister pack, complete with booklet. Components included: * Toyota cab miniature on black display base. The exclusive documentary booklet n°27 including a detailed analysis of the work (Les 3 Formules du Professeur Satō - Tome 2), a thematic dossier on the world of Blake and Mortimer (L'Antarctique), and character sheets (Le professeur Satō et Kostas). Condition: Vehicle: mint condition. The model is impeccably preserved under its original transparent thermoformed rigid shell. The clear two-tone paintwork, the small cab light on the roof and the chrome elements are all intact. Packaging / Booklet: The set is offered here in a clean configuration, with the car's blister pack detached from the large rear red cardboard support (allowing the miniature to be handled or displayed more easily). The overall protective plastic bag is present. The large, soft cardboard base shows some slight rippling and a small crease on the right-hand side due to storage, but the colors have remained very fresh and the booklet is impeccable. A must-have for all fans of the series' Japanese scenes.
