Blake & Mortimer
Here represented on a wall in Brussels

Many heroes of Belgian/French comic strips are already existing in toy soldiers, like :

Tintin exist in various size, material, even in flat

Asterix by Pixi in metal

Spirou and his Turbotraction II

or the adventures of Alix

Or Gaston

Des Bleus et de Gris ( Of Blue and Grey )

It would take a volume of more then 1000 pages to make the inventory of Belgian Comic Strips and the figures edited,

Comic strips really never caught my fancy, except for maybe Prince Valiant. I was more of a fan of comic books which would be loaned back an forth between me and my friends. With a wide range of interests between us, we covered a ton of titles in the 70's and 80's. Some of the ones that I liked the best were Alien Legion (still have a few of those in the attic), The 'Nam, Savage Tales, X-Men, Weird War, and couple of others I'm forgetting right now.

I only know the Prince Valiant one I have seen those.....great artwork.l, thanks for sharing.
