I wasn't aware of these until I saw them on Sgt.Papas (newly updated).
He got them on his Christmas vacation in Australia





This is the back side which funnily shows the Zodiac fakes instead of the ones that are in the package (the smurfs above)


Also available is this fake playset

Grandma looks like a zombie.. scary.

How can you tell they are fakes? The colors and black outlines? The outlines look really bad to me

[Smurfysmurf]

Pretty much everything looks bad on them and very different to the original ones, the first thing I noticed was the packaging which is completely different.

Here are the original ones

We were on holidays in Rhodes (Greece) last week and I could not believe there was so many Smurfy things in the shops!

I took a few pics, if only to compare for the difference of packaging or more importantly the price: €2.50 per pack!

Wow, that's interesting...I got the Zodiac fakes in a big package..have not seen them in this one

There is a lot of (I mean A LOT) of stuff out right now from China that are fakes..some of it is cute but some is pretty bad

What gets to me is that you can get it in small stores as official items (or so I think) which can be quite confusing.

I still would love to get my hands on the princess smurfette, fake or not she is cute
