1998
CHEVALIERS CONDORS (COMPLETE SET OF 10)
This set was originally issued in Italy in 1998 under the name "Sir Condor". It was also released in Spain and Portugal in the same year under the name "Los/Os Butres de Butrelandia". The French know this set, however, as "Chevaliers Condors". They got it in 2001, as did the Benelux countries (who know it as the “Excalibirds”) and Mexico (where it’s called “Reino Condor”). My thanks to Katy Jourdain for this set, and also for a French paper. Thanks also to Heidi Veldheer for a Dutch/French "Excalibirds" paper (which only features five of the figurines).

LES ASTROCOMICS (FRENCH - COMPLETE SET OF 10)
This set of daffy space aliens was released in New Zealand in 2000/01, albeit minus two of the toys that were issued in Europe. Both here and in Australia, it was known by its British name of "Galacteenies", and our paper was identical to the British one. But it was originally issued in Italy in 1998 under the name of "Extraterrestri Stratulani", and thereafter released in: the Benelux countries (1999, “Galaxini”), Scandinavia (1999, “Space Mates”), France (1999), Spain and Portugal (1999, "Extranulatis"), Israel (1999, “Galaxini”), UK (2000), Eastern Europe (2000, “Astrocomic 2000”), Argentina and Brazil (2000, "Extralunáticos") Mexico (2000, "Extralunáticos") and Germany (2000, "Super Spacys"). The German figurines are different to their Italian /European counterparts, and I have listed the ones in my collection separately.
Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Ollier for this set, which came with a French Astrocomics paper. Thanks also to Jean-Pierre Comtois for a Scandinavian "Space Mates" paper. Thanks to Christine O'Grady for an English "Galacteenies" paper. And thanks to Gian Marco Silvi for a Brazilian "Extralunáticos" paper. Last but certainly not least, thanks to Ulrike Degen for a Benelux "Galaxini" paper.
