Asterix At The Olympic Games

On the occasion of the reissue of “Asterix at the Olympic games”, Steiff pays tribute to one of the most famous editions of the Asterix comic book series! After defeating the overpowering Roman legionnaire Gluteus Maximus in ancient Greece without any magic potion, Asterix stands at the top of the podium - cheered by his Gallic friends. This iconic scenery, which is also the cover of the 12th Asterix adventure published in 1968, inspired our Olympic Asterix. Dressed only in black and red striped shorts, he proudly holds the golden laurel branch on a red velvety cushion. The elaborately designed gift packaging also forms the winner’s podium, on which our Asterix can be properly celebrated.
