On my travels for photos of the smurfs Euro tour display, I've found this photo of this amazing sculp, its listed under Pixi News. So this must be a new collectors piece? It was on display in Angoulême during the Comic Festival last weekend, which the smurf display was part of.

Really nice.. probably cost a small fortune.

Wow, it looks great!

The other photos in the link are great, too.

This statue is inspired in this image.
It was a poster and a 500 pieces puzzle. And now it is also a statue.

Brad, that sculpture is amazing. I think one of the most beautiul pieces of smurfy art I have ever seen! Thank You so much for taking the time to find all these wonderful photos. :twirl:

Barrufet, Thank You for supplting this extra info about the puzzle and the poster. To me it makes the actual sculpture even nicer to appreciate knowing where the idea was from. :clap2: :thanks2:

Of course, it is great to know where they got the idea from.
I wonder who will buy it if it's only 50 ex. :angry:
Rich people? Do rich people collect smurfs? Are smurf collectors rich? :-?
They could produce 10,000 ex. and sell it for 300 EUR each. It would be a success..

Wouldn't that look nice in someone's smurf room......preferably mine of course.....I mean, one has to compete with a Smurf Express Train, a magnificient Welsh smurf diorama that really kicks ass, multiple promos, CNTs, Fakes everywhere else etc etc.

Maybe we could do "Operation Snatch" :eek: ....especially since we haven't done many undercover operations since the Dragon went straight and decided to not bend &/or burn the law anymore.
