It's All In The Cars

Get your fix of Tintin at a store called Smile in New Market. We absolutely fell in love with these figures of all the main characters from the Tintin books (including Snowy with a huge bone). The set is for INR 4.500, but you can also buy just the blessed twins for INR 2,000.

A Tintin comic takes its automobiles very seriously indeed. If you are a Tintin fan, you’d know that many of the stories feature car chases. We loved the collection of Tintin cars at Smile (INR 3,500+). These are faithful recreations that reflect actual cars complete with characters sitting in them (they look like freeze frames from the comics).

On an aside – Tintin creator Georges Remi (who wrote under the pen name Hergé – the French pronunciation of his initials reversed), was an avid driver and a collector who peppered his work with an array of precisely-rendered cars spanning the 47 years during which he drew the books!
