Cofres Obelix, Ideofix and Roman crushed by a menir «Toy Blog

The French company Plastoy has launched two new currencies inspired by the fantastic series of Asterix drawn bands, the Gaul.

The series was created by screenwriter René Goscinny and illustrator Albert Uderzo in 1959, combining humor, social criticism and historical adventures with great international success. In 2013 a new duo of authors assumed: screenwriter Jean-Yves Ferri and designer Didier Conrad, maintaining the classic style and the original spirit. From the album “Asterix and the White Iris” (2023), the screenwriter Fabcaro (stage name of Dear), who has a more absurd, satirical and modern comic style, took the place of Jean-Yves Ferri

The vault Obelix et Idefix Tirelire captures a moment of tranquility of the obelix Gluto and his faithful ally Ideafix, who seem to be resting in peace, probably due to the digestion of a whole boar (or more). The PVC plastic piglet measures 22 cm high and has a slot on the back to insert the coins.

The safe IDEFIX et le Romain Écrasé Par Un Menhir Tirelire has a very different shape, which readers will recognize on the spot: a crushed Roman legionnaire under a menir stone, thrown by Obelix, with the dog Ideofix at the top. A humorous design that perfectly captures the indomitable spirit of the irreducible Gauls. Measures 8 cm high.

The Obelix et Idefix Tirelire Custom coffers from € 25.99 directly on Plastoy or Shop for Geek.
