HI ! I finally got my Big Dupuis smurf this morning! its snowing :frosty: here!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: and

the mailman was extra early and caught me before I went to work!

I was sure this smurf was lost..I paid $20 euro for shipping from

FRance and it took 6 weeks!! I have had things in the mail in 3 days!
from europe for tons less. so I was sure it was gone or lost!!!

anyway he is awesome and I will take fresh pics of him soon and post him!! I was surprised that he is harder plastic then the small one which is rubbery...( maybe age made him stiff??)

:frosty:

The 30 cm one is a stiffie (sorry!), not a peeping tom like the 15cm one. They are often broken or bruised from a fall. Mine has a dent in his nose (snif!). But I love them!

Excellent news Attom, I bet you were over the moon. :wave:
Can't wait to see the pics.

Snow, you lucky thing, what I would give to have a huge snowfall and a few days off school. Things are VERY busy at the moment with school Christmas concerts (I teach in 14 schools = a LOT of concerts :violin: ), I have been diving in and out of here, laughing a lot and admiring all the new pics.

Do you think if I did a little snow dance..........

:snowing: :badger: :badger: :badger: :snowing: :badger: :badger: :badger: :snowing:

...( maybe age made him stiff??)
So they are the opposite to humans with age then..... :o sorry

That's great news Attom and I would be really excited too if one of these were delivered to me. I am so far away from owning any of the larger smurfs and I know very little about them so they just seem like a big smurf blur of things I don't have. I think once I get an item I tend to learn more about them.

Looking forward to pics Attom and I am really happy for you

I'm so jealous Attom...so much so that I was trying to steal him from off the screen....it didn't quite work but I tried hard.

I love him...where's mine?....Anyone who wants to send me one of these for Christmas will be more than welcome and will receive a free Smurfette Rollerskater and a choice of any 3 carrot emoticons in one of their posts. If you send it via email you will also receive a free Tennis Player minus racquet for any of those DIY smurf collectors....I only have 8 of them without a racquet so act now and avoid missing out on this once in a fortnight offer.

He's incredible Attom....and now I really want one too.

I'm still looking for more information on them, but I'm quite certain that they were made for all countries Spirou/Robbedoes was active in, so certainly France, Belgium and The Netherlands, and perhaps Canada and Switzerland as well (and Luxemburg! Never forget Luxemburg :) ). They will probably be the easiest to find in Belgium and France though (although with eBay, they are spreading all over the world now, like the rabbits did. Watch out, Australia :bunny: !)
