Albator - le jeu (the game)

Le Jeu d'Albator, Orli Jouet, Italy, 1979

In the series of board games based on my childhood heroes, this one is the French (but made in Italy ???) ORLI JOUET game of Albator. Why did the French continuesly put robots in their renderings of Matsumoto's Space Pirate is still a pending question. (it started in the French-drawn Albator comics in the Capitaine Fulgur magazines, but here too, you have robotic drawings on the tokens that suposedly should represent the Sylvidres / Mazones...)

It's lacking Matsumoto's original artwork, except for
 3 small images of the cartoon...

Arcadia crew

Arcadia crew Marisse (Maji) resin, Patrick Laurensis, 11cm without base

Sometimes the most unusual figurines pop up. This one came from Pèle-Mèle, a second hand shop in Brussels. I am so glad when I can find these unexpected treasures ! A big thanks to Toki No Wa to help me figure out who made this statue.
