Where's mine Linda?

I love him too and I wish I had one....so so so jealous

You will have to add a comet to him if you can and he will look awesome.

Hey i just noticed looking at that pic that he has a 3 under his cape...well it looks like one anyway. I'll have a closer inspection in the morning.

A comet will be cool. Anyone who wants to send one my way will be kissed with the biggest wettest slobbery kiss I can manage over the internet! :)

Very nice smurf Linda, you lucky thing. :D

I only have one superman to hand and he has the number 1 on the underside of his cape so I am assuming that these are the mold numbers normally found on feet. :cheers:

nice find there Linda!!! How much did you pick that beauty up for?

5.50 Euro and 3 Euro postage. (About $14.50AU all up) Is that too much??? The seller seemed to have quite a few for sale so I was a bit worried it might be a fake.

Thanks everyone. I like him a lot. He's something different and I thought "What the hell even if hes a fake it'll be cool to have something different."

Tell me about it coming along. I'm trying to photograph them all one by one and they're coming in faster than I can keep up with.


Remember that boxful I took a photo of and won that competition with??? (Thanks Raresmurf!!). Well I am now officially up to 6 boxes and a plastic bag! as they won't all fit in that one. This is the boxes:

1. Smurfs I've already taken a photo of (2.0001 - 2.0150)
2. Smurf I've yet to take a photo of (I)
3. Smurf I've yet to take a photo of (II)
4. Super smurfs/buildings/irwins/omos/placemats/anything else remotely smurfy
5. For sale/Trades box
6. Box of smurfs I've already traded or in process of trading
7. Plastic bag with "pre-loved" smurfs ready for smurfy makeovers.

Oh yeah and theres a smurf video, smurf dvd and some smurf books and comics also.

I wonder?? how come there are so many of these??


I also have one I bought a year ago..

I assumed these were rare or errors in production..
but it looks like they are made this way??????

I thought that as well Attom, errors so therefore never finished. However, if there are quite a few of them around this seems unlikely. :-?

My theory, maybe they ran out of the comets before the figures and didn't bother finishing the paint job. :sherlock:

sounds good!!

also maybe some assembly line worker grabbed a bunch before it got to the next paint color?? :)

Maybe just rejects????...this one is pretty crudely painted but I would've thought the blue would go over the top easily enough.
