Hi

Today there was a smurffair in Holland.
And it was a great one, a lot of sellers and a lot of buyers to……….
Maybe the movie has done it’s job and attracted a lot of new people.

These are my best catches of the day.
The last row are all paint errors.
The skateboardsmurf his but is not painted.
Then the next 4 there mouth are not painted ( on the way back it was very quiet in the car since they kept there mouth shut ) and the baby misses one yellow dot on his but.

Then the majorette I have never seen before…….. instead of pink or purple she got grey blue shoes and stick …………..
Sassette has bright red hair, got one but this one got sunspots.
Azrael is a strange one to, normaly the material is orange so never painted.
But this one is painted orange, and there are some paint losses and it looks like this one is made out of white material.

Then a fake easter one……………….

But my biggest find of all ……… not perfect but for me he is.
A moonsmurf with handwritten Bully.
That one I have been looking for years and years.
I think the hardest Bully to find.

Thanks to a lot of smurfy friends ( I am not going to name all of you because I am afraid I will forget anyone ) I have had one of my best smurfy years if not the best.
But for me this is the cream on the cake !!!!!!!!

Tonight I don’t have to dream, because today one came true……………..

Hi Frank,

nice to hear from you!

You have found very good Smurfs. congratulations!

Some I've never seen before like the white moon with handetched markings or the majorette! Do you think it's a genuine one?

I know the painted Azrael, mine is a China one, yours also right? I think it's the rarest variation of the Azraels.

Have fun with your new smurfs!

Hi Benny

Thanks !!
The majorette looks real to me, but i can't be 100% sure.
It was a normal price, so nobody tried to cheat on me.
And i can't see any paint under these colours.

Yes Azrael is a China one...........

The moon i have been looking for that one for years ................

This fair was a big hit for me.

the Astro is genuine, and I agree, TinTin, one of the hardest if not the hardest to find...congratulations...no wonder you are over the moon

Not sure about the majorette, but you know I am hard to convince that some color variations are genuine lol...she does look very nice though and much better than the known variation, I think

You had a great year....a very smurfy year and it couldn't have happened to a nicer smurfer

Hi Ron

I didn't had the time or money to go to the fair today, but hope to see you in a few weeks at Blue Paradise ..

For personal reasons i am not going to be at Blue Paradise............ but also the money has some part ........ well don't have to explain to you
Hope you will have a great day and that you find all the smurfs on your wanted list............at least some of them

I envy your handetched Astro! That one is very hard to find.

Hi Andre......... hard to find ??? Almost impossible i am afraid. But it's there..........
