Someone just phoned me to say they were selling a Wade Smurf, Wade as in the people who make the whimsies, I used to collect those as well!

They say it was a prototype and only a couple were made, Wade for some reason never got it licensed so no more were made. As the man lives in Kent I have passed his details onto Mart in case he wants to pay him a visit. Has anyone heard of a Smurf produced by Wade before?

It was too much money for me to be able to afford but it will be interesting to hear whether Mart follows it up!

Thanks Karen, I thought so but I wasn't 100% sure.

I used to love those pigs.

Rachel, it's like in that Nik Smurfshew song...."He's nothing but a Wade Smurf....just an ordinary toy....etc"
