After the success of the DVD of the film Asterix and the Vikings as Doubleclix dutifully reported in a recent article, here comes the French special edition! On the bill: the DVD itself of course, along with the exclusive booklet Le Code Goudurix (The Justforkix Code), two figurines (Asterix and Obelix in a Viking make-over) and the Asterix and Obelix XXL video game to boot, everything carefully presented in a magnificent box in the colours of the film.
The resin figurines are simply fantastic! It goes without saying that Asteraf and Obelaf, the two Gauls disguised as northern warriors to save Justforkix from his captors, have quickly taken their place in the collection of Asterix figurines that Tapisdesourix and I religiously keep on our office bookshelves.
Thanks to these little wonders, the Informatix hut in the virtual village has begun to look like a little Gaulish museum.
As for the Romans, dumbstruck with admiration for such a box set, they are cursing at having to wait until next year to see the film when it comes out in Italy!

While building a wall of Asterix albums in over one hundred languages during the preparation of The Mirror World of Asterix exhibition last year, we had to field questions that drew upon all the wisdom of our druids: is Meefranggish a language or a dialect? In what country is Meefrangish spoken? 
Oui, ja, si, jawohl, yes! This time, the joyous clamour from our happy winners comes in many languages! 
Continuing his ‘Tour de Gaul’ of book fairs, Asterix and his mobile hut call at Montreuil.
