Asterix & Cleopatra Advent Calendar
The Asterix & Cleopatra Advent Calendar from Cinereplicas is a hardback box shaped like a comic book: it opens like an album, with an Egyptian scene printed across the cover, pyramids and the Sphinx behind Asterix and Obelix. Behind its 24 numbered compartments sit 24 collectable goodies, one a day, all officially licensed by Les Editions Albert Rene and made only for this box.
This is Cinereplicas’ first ever Asterix release, so there’s no previous edition to hold it against. What you’re paying for is the licence and the object itself, a 33 x 24.5 x 5 cm limited-edition case in sturdy card that fans will keep on a shelf once it’s empty.
What’s inside the Asterix & Cleopatra Advent Calendar?
Twenty-four exclusive gifts, and nothing edible or cosmetic: no chocolate, no beauty products. The mix leans on stationery and playful collectables, so expect a pen, a notepad, a ruler and an eraser, alongside pieces closer to fan memorabilia, an Asterix helmet stamp, an enamel pin, blue-and-white Obelix-pattern socks, a woven album-title patch, acrylic figures and a jigsaw puzzle.
Every one of the 24 items is a Cinereplicas exclusive that isn’t sold separately, which is exactly why the contents can’t be priced honestly. Cinereplicas publishes no total value, and the goodies have no individual retail price to add up. What I can put a figure on is the ratio: divide the £38.00 launch price by the 24 doors and each gift works out at £1.58 a door. That lands it mid-range for a licensed pop-culture box, in line with Cinereplicas’ other 2026 calendars around the same £38 mark, above a plain chocolate countdown and below a premium beauty calendar: at this price the spend buys official exclusives, not resale value.

Where the Asterix box sits in the Cinereplicas range
Cinereplicas has built its name on officially licensed goodies for franchises like Harry Potter, Stranger Things and Batman, and this Asterix box follows the same recipe: a themed collector’s case filled with exclusive props and everyday accessories, with no single big showpiece. If you know the Harry Potter calendars, you’ll recognise the format straight away.
What sets this one apart is the source. It’s tied to a specific album, ‘Asterix and Cleopatra’, and the box is designed to read as that album, which gives it more of a keepsake feel than a generic branded countdown. The trade-off is the same across the range: the goodies are the affordable, collectable kind, not rare pieces that appreciate.
My verdict on the Asterix & Cleopatra Advent Calendar
What wins you over first is the container. The comic-book case is a genuinely nice object, and the fact that all 24 gifts are exclusive to it, from the Asterix helmet stamp to the Obelix socks, means a fan gets things they can’t pick up anywhere else. For anyone who grew up with the album, that counts for a lot.
Where I’d temper expectations is the nature of the gifts. A good number are small stationery and everyday bits, an eraser, a ruler, a bouncy ball, and some will end up at the bottom of a drawer by January. The contents aren’t sought-after collectables, and because none of it is sold separately, there’s no honest way to tell you what the box is worth. As I’d sum it up: ‘you’re buying the Asterix world and a lovely case, not a stack of resale value.’
So the split is clear. For an Asterix fan it makes sense; for anyone chasing high-value contents, it doesn’t. At £1.58 a door it’s a coherent Asterix Christmas gift to count down the 24 days, and I’d happily hand it to a fan of the comic. I haven’t had this box in my hands, so I’m working from the confirmed contents and Cinereplicas’ track record, and I’ve kept my level of certainty measured.
