LMZ Collectibles Gaston Lagaffe en zijn kleine Gaffophone

Product information:
-Discover the new figurine of Gaston Lagaffe and his little Gaffophone, co-published by LMZ Collectibles X Collector BD in the Class!cs collection. This figurine takes up the iconic cover of volume 6 of the series, (which became volume 7 in 2009).

The little Gaffophone, which retains all its power despite its small size, is held here in Gaston's hand. The life-size Gaffophone made its first appearance on page 449 in Spirou n°1508 in 1967. To create this instrument with "A vibration of thunder, with maximum resonance!", Franquin was inspired by an African harp exhibited at the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren (Belgium).

It was only with the release of album 6, which inspired our figurine, that the little Gaffophone would really enter the scene. This anachronistic arrival is due to the later publication of the album, in 1968. Small but still as destructive as evidenced by the portrait of Fantasio who detaches himself from the wall with a crash. We can see a nod to the gradual disappearance of this character in Gaston's universe, his role being largely taken over by Prunelle (Fantasio will make his last appearance in plate 551 of Gaston's gags).

David Arnould put his talent at the service of this interpretation of Gaston Lagaffe, while trying to faithfully restore Franquin's graphic style and the characteristic morphology of his character.

Delivered in a beautiful printed box and accompanied by its numbered certificate.

Discover the new Gaston Lagaffe figurine and his little Gaffophone, a co-production between LMZ Collectibles and Collector BD in the Class!cs collection. This figurine reproduces the iconic cover of volume 6 of the series (which became volume 7 in 2009).

Thelittle Gaffophone, which retains all its power despite its small size, fits perfectly in Gaston's hand. The life-size Gaffophone made its very first appearance on page 449 in Spirou issue #1508 in 1967. To crea te this instrument with "A thunderous vibration, with maximum resonance!", Franquin was inspired by an African harp exhibited at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium.

It wasn't until the release of album number 6, which inspired our figurine, that the little Gaffophone truly made his debut. This anachronistic arrival is due to the album's later publication in 1968. Small but just as destructive, as evidenced by the portrait of Fantasio crashing off the wall. This can be seen as a nod to the character's gradual disappearance from the Gaston universe, his role being largely taken over by Prunelle (Fantasio makes his final appearance in page 551 of the Gaston gags).

David Arnould lent his talent to this interpretation of Gaston Lagaffe, striving to faithfully recreate Franquin's graphic style and the character's distinctive physique.
