Hachette / Asterix - Soupalognon and Crouton - The Great Gal - Lot 46

Hachette / Asterix - Soupalognon and Crouton - The Great Gallery of Characters - Mint in blister pack A beautiful collectible resin figurine from the legendary world of Asterix the Gaul, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. This piece is part of the famous “The Great Gallery of Characters” collection published by Hachette. It depicts the proud Iberian chieftain Soupalognon y Crouton, famous for his indomitable spirit and his habit of holding his breath when he’s upset. Inspired by the comic book *Asterix in Spain*, the figurine depicts him here as a prisoner of the Romans, bound in heavy metal chains. The figurine faithfully reproduces his iconic features: his long black hair slicked back, his proud expression, his yellow animal-skin outfit, his red breeches, and his yellow lace-up shoes.
