Leblon Delienne
Figurines and sculptures where pop culture meets design and memory
You have probably known Mickey Mouse, Snoopy or Batman for quite some time. Leblon Delienne gives these icons a rather different role: expressive figurines and sculptures for adults who see no reason to leave pop culture in childhood. At LIVOSY, you can discover selected Leblon Delienne pieces from familiar worlds including Disney, Peanuts, Pokémon and Warner Bros. / DC Comics, with characters such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Snoopy and Scrooge McDuck.

Childhood heroes, with a distinctly French perspective
Founded in 1985, Leblon Delienne creates figurines, statues, sculptures and art and design objects inspired by familiar characters from pop culture. At its sculpture workshop in Normandy, France, traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary design and expressive finishes. The result sits somewhere between collectible, artwork and interior object.
Leblon Delienne works with official licences from internationally recognised names including Disney, Warner Bros., Peanuts and Playmobil. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Snoopy, Scrooge McDuck and Pikachu are not simply reproduced. Their familiar forms are reinterpreted through colour, finish, scale and, in selected collections, collaborations with artists and designers.
Grown up. Mickey came along.
For us, that change of perspective is a large part of the appeal. Characters many of us first encountered through comics, films, television or games find a new place in an adult interior. Nostalgia is very much welcome. It simply does not have to look nostalgic.
For generations who grew up with Disney, Peanuts, Pokémon or the heroes and villains of the DC universe, a Leblon Delienne sculpture can become a particularly personal piece of pop culture. Mickey Welcome can sit beside art books, Snoopy on a sideboard and Batman in a space otherwise reserved for a conventional sculpture. Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Snoopy are currently among the particularly popular Leblon Delienne characters at LIVOSY.
A different way to collect
Leblon Delienne approaches its characters as sculptures and design objects. That is one of the clearest distinctions between the brand and conventional merchandise or toy figurines. The recognisable identity of a character remains, while colour, surface, proportions and artistic interpretation give it another presence.
This also makes comparisons with classic collectibles such as Funko Pop rather limited. Funko Pop follows a deliberately consistent and instantly recognisable visual language. Leblon Delienne retains more of each character's individual silhouette and treats it as sculpture. Neither approach is universally better; collectors looking for a decorative art object with a stronger connection to the original character will simply find a distinctly different proposition at Leblon Delienne.
One sculpture is enough to start a collection
You do not need a display cabinet or a collecting strategy to begin. Smaller and open editions can offer an accessible starting point, while limited and numbered editions appeal to collectors looking for scarcer versions. Leblon Delienne itself distinguishes between smaller Open Editions and larger works that may be produced in limited, numbered editions.
At LIVOSY, a good place to start is with a character that already means something to you. Mickey and Minnie Welcome, Snoopy and pieces from Pokémon or the DC universe all offer different ways in. The best first figurine is rarely the one a collecting guide tells you to own. It is usually the one you already know you would like to keep.
Limited means scarce. Valuable is another question.
Some Leblon Delienne collections are produced in limited and sometimes numbered editions. These can be particularly appealing to collectors because production is restricted to a defined number of pieces. The precise edition should always be checked for the individual model, as Leblon Delienne produces both limited editions and Open Editions.
Limitation alone, however, cannot reliably predict future value. Rarity, demand, condition, edition and availability can all play a part, and none guarantees appreciation in resale value. We would therefore choose the character, design and personal connection first – and look at the edition number second.
Originals for people who recognise an old friend
At LIVOSY, we sell original Leblon Delienne products only, never B-grade stock. Our current selection includes pieces from Disney featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Scrooge McDuck, alongside Peanuts, Pokémon and Warner Bros. / DC Comics. Our assortment continues to evolve, so further characters and collections may join them in future.
As gifts, these sculptures work particularly well when you know the recipient's story. Snoopy for someone who has loved Peanuts for decades, Mickey or Minnie for a Disney fan, or Batman and Wonder Woman for a DC collection carries rather more meaning than an anonymous decorative object. And yes, buying one for yourself remains an entirely respectable interpretation of gifting.
Made to be admired, not played with
However familiar the characters may be, Leblon Delienne figurines are collectible art and design objects rather than children's toys. They are intended for collecting and decorative display. Materials, dimensions, finishes and edition sizes can also differ between collections and individual models, so the specifications of each piece should always be checked before choosing.
