Blue Cavern

Congrats Lia

I heard from an owner of a small toy store that he could get the new smurfs in December only when buying a Schleich christmas set for 1700€.

By the way: The new smurfs (both series) are official now (with their official names, for example: Smurfette ).

You can even take a look at the brochure (in different languages).

Thanks for the links Simon.

What Christmas set would that be??

Did anyone find them yet in a Country besides Germany?

Yes, they are now available in Australia 'Down Under'.

Hi SmurfeeJo
Can you please let me know where in Australia I can buy the new smurfs. I live in Melbourne if that helps.

Cheers
Kath

Hi Kath,

Toy Dreamer now has them in stock:

Hi Jo
Thank you for your quick response. I looked at Toydreamer a couple of weeks ago though back then they weren't available.

Cheers

I treated myself and got hold of the ones I saw. I am only missing the bridal couple and the "Get well" smurf. (But I'm pretty sure that they just out of stock at the moment.)

I got the new smurfs this week.
I like them very much (except the big baby) : the theme is well expressed ; the smurfette in glass is top !
Good way to begin the year.

Great Arno

Now we just have to wait for the movie ones in May.

Oh, well, for these ones, I can wait, I am not busy as I was for the others.
They are too ugly for me and too different from my old smurfs. But anyway I will buy for my collection. For the first ones of the movie, I hesitate buying them and finally did, so I know I will not resist.

Of course I can understand why they look like half-smurfs half-men, business for new kids, but it does not mean I agree !

I understand Arno

I also prefers the old look on the Schleich PVC-smurfs. And since it seems Schleich sticks to the older looks on their new releases I assume they think the same??? The movie-sets are connected to the movie and then I assume they had to make them like that?? Maybe IMPS wanted PVC-smurfs for the movie?? In some cases they are just a manufacturer??

As a collector I will also buy them just like you. But I must say I like the Naughties. Maybe because I do not see them as smurfs, but more like figurines released before by Schleich like Scruple.

There is one smurf-related figurine I would like Schleich to make and that is the King from the magic flute. He would be great with Johan and Pewitt. And also Homnibus. Maybe they should do a theme about the old movie the magic flute and bring back johan and pewitt also??

I went into Frankfurt last week & checked out the 2 department stores which sell Schleich products. Karstadt didn't have any of the new smurfs

Kaufhof only had three of them which all had rubs or bad paint jobs It looks like I'll have to wait for a bit before I get the new set.

Hello everyone and Happy new year!!! How better to celebrate with some new smurfs... and a new movie coming up!!!!!!

But is it me or there is something a bit different about this year's set?

I mean, baby smurf for a start: He looks "evil"!!!!! :):)

The party Smurfette is very reminiscent of the Dita Von Teese Martini glass moment... (google this if you are unsure)

And I am not going to say what I think the birthday cakes looke like...

Anyhow, it's probably me! Back to my cave now! :):)

Hi,

we got them in Sweden in the stores now so I bought a couple of spare ones.

OOOOPS!! Divorce already on the weddingnight??

I could not resist taking these 2 apart to see how they were made. Dr Evil!!!

So, André, what did you learn with the breaking action ?!
Some markings unknown by those who are not able to cut poor PVC smurfs... ?
Anyway your picture made me think about what will probably happen to some of them : offered for marriage and... later cut for the divorce.

I was intersted in seeing how it was made and also I found the cavitynumbers on both smurfs. Just like all two-piece molds I believe that there should always be a cavitynumber on each mold. In this case Smurfette-bride has it on the backside of her dress and that you can only find it you take them apart. I was surprised though how difficult it was to take them apart. Amazing glue they use Schleich. I would need glue like that sometimes.

And it is also good to know that if you find the Groom with a hamburger it is NOT a official release by Schleich!

Eventhough it would be like this the new 2013 McDonalds smurfs should look like if you ask me!!

And this is not a new supersmurf. Unfortunatly

She looks rather lovely in the hammock

Hi guys,

for those who cannot wait for the movie smurfs, here's a short video from German tv. Look out for the newbies.
