WOW Attom, they look cool and still in their original packaging!
I have never seen them before and don't recall seeing them in any book / catalogue but they do look very nice and smurfy. Are they some sort of puppet, do their arms and legs move by pulling the string?

HI Rachel!
I think they do have moving arms..they look like those old wooden clown like things that when you pull the string the arms and legs go out and move.
I thought they looked great more for the characters..
I wonder why we havn;t seen them before?? I figured they must have made a bunch somewhere ?? doesn;t sound like someone would only make a couple..
once they arrive I will know if they are plastic or cardboard?

Some nice goodies Attom...these are new to me as well....then again most things are
What will you do with them when they arrive...keep them packaged or hang them up somewhere? I think these would look cool on display but I guess it's the smurf old dilemma....To open or not to open, that is the question.
Something tells me you're gonna play with them

Ooooo Attom they are so cool
You have to play with them .... well I know I would. Imagine having one of those, what are they called? Those mobile thingys that hang over a cot. That's what they remind me of.
They are very cool, I can't wait till you get them

Those are really nice Attom. I've never seen those before. Puppets of this sort are very popular in Germany (we have all sorts - penguin, clown, nut cracker soldier to name but a few) where they're called Hampelmänner. A Hampelmann is a man which 'hampels' - jumps about. When the string is pulled the arms & legs move up & down. Where I live the dialect word for these puppets is Kordeldepp which translates as string idiot!!
Nice find, have fun with them
