Portuguese Ulysses 31 books

Ulysse 31 has always been a big serie in my youth - great spaceships - good scripts, and a whole new modern take on mythology.

Not a lot of articulations (just head and arrms) and a big block of translucid plastic for the body, all this to recreate the famous (or infamous - since Disney made a new version with Hayden Christensen as Vader) end-scene of the Return of the Jedi...
