Really Steve ?

Geez i was getting so frustrated with him trying to get him to stand still so i could take the photo.

Anyone else have this problem ?


I think i have the same problem with my thanksgiving smurf, he always falls over

No problems with the PERFECT Christopher Columbus though Gray

Raelene

hehehehe

Congratulations Rae......these are nice to get since they are so popular. I know it took me a long while before I got my first ones.....I seemed to of acquired all 6 in the one week from different sellers but I know they were among the last ones I needed.....I just thought I would never get one for ages and it was a great feeling to just get one of these so I can imagine your joy to get both.......that Graham is such a nice guy.

I haven't had a problem with any of mine standing up properly....so far anyway. This week was a good week for me too regarding the Historicals, I now have every one listed in the Katalog which are the 6 Macau markings of each one and also the extra 3 Hong Kong markings of Paul Revere, Christopher Coloumbus & Benji Franky.....now....just have to wait to pay for them

Wahooooooo Rae

Nice historicals, Rae! Mine stand up ok too but I have them in my glass cabinet so maybe if I open the door they will fall down??

I don't mind if your Historicals fall down Stace....hopefully they will fall down and land in Australia

hi! great smurfs!

those look even better then I thought.. alot of painting seems to be on them...more detail

I did read somewhere that you can warm up PCV..maybe with a hairdryer or something and get them to stand up..

ask around..I'm sure there is a way...

Yep, I done this to about 3 smurfs of mine that wouldn't stand up. I hold the smurf in a way that I want him to stand and then apply the heat and then continue to hold it in that position for a while allowing the smurf to cool in that stance. Sometimes you need to try 2-3 times but it works for sure and can save a smurf from being an iritating lazy no good for nothing lay-about.

Of course take care with your smurf and whether this is a good thing to do to PVC I am not sure.....but maybe try it on a cheaper spare you have. I have had no problems with mine but I would hate to be responsible for damaging someone else's rare smurf.

Nice smurfs Rae


Good luck with the next four. Wish I knew where mine are hiding.

Thanks for the hairdryer idea Attom, i may give it a go

I just found another photo of Paul Revere on Ebay and he looks like he doesn't stand properly either
