The Tintin Shop, Singapore (11 July 2011)
The Tintin Shop is stocked with Tintin memorabilia. Apart from the Tintin comicbooks, fans of the boy hero can buy coffee mugs, t-shirts, model cars as well as dioramas re-creating scenes from the Adventures of Tintin. There are also key chains and stuff toys, the most adorable being Snowy, Tintin's pet (in the English version).
Fans of Tintin are mostly the "older generation" who discovered the comicbook character when they were going up. Nevertheless, with the upcoming motion picture, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, about to be released, Tintin is sure to receive a whole new generation of fans.
Take the North East Line to the Chinatown MRT Station (NE4) and then walk a short distance down Pagoda Street. The shop is on the left side of the street.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
