Captain Haddock – 46008 – Tintin Museum Collection Resin Model – Le Musée Imaginaire de Tintin – Limited Edition – 2024

A highly detailed limited-edition resin figure depicting Captain Archibald Haddock, one of the central characters from Hergé’s world-famous The Adventures of Tintin. Produced by Tintinimaginatio in 2024 as part of the acclaimed Le Musée Imaginaire de Tintin collection, this officially licensed collector’s piece captures the beloved sea captain in a characteristically thoughtful pose.

Introduced in The Crab with the Golden Claws and subsequently becoming Tintin’s closest companion, Captain Haddock remains one of the most popular and enduring figures in European comic art. Known for his nautical background, colourful vocabulary and unwavering loyalty, Haddock plays a central role throughout many of the series’ most celebrated adventures, including The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham’s Treasure, Destination Moon, Explorers on the Moon and Tintin and the Picaros.

This finely sculpted figure is based upon Hergé’s original artwork and depicts Haddock strolling with his hands clasped behind his back, dressed in his iconic blue sweater adorned with the anchor motif that has become synonymous with the character. Expertly cast in resin and hand-painted in polychrome colours, the figure successfully captures both the humour and personality that have made Captain Haddock one of the most recognisable characters in comic history.

Standing approximately 26.5 cm high, the figure is mounted on a metal base and presented in its original Le Musée Imaginaire de Tintin packaging. It is accompanied by its numbered certificate of authenticity and remains in new condition.

The Le Musée Imaginaire de Tintin series represents some of the finest officially licensed Tintin sculptures produced in recent years, combining museum-quality presentation with faithful interpretations of Hergé’s original designs. A superb addition to any Tintin collection and an essential piece for admirers of Captain Haddock.
