Blue Cavern

Hi guys,

just wondering if you could help out with identification of this guy;


He has Hong Kong upside down on the front of his shorts and
Shleich 1980 PEYO on the back of his shorts.

A V neck shirt, all white uniform with black rims on the neck, sleeves, socks and a stripe on the pants.

I believe I got him here in NZ and he looks to have been a keychain.

He is about .5 cm taller than the others of the same mould and he has this HUGE tail !!
Oh, and his boots look more like loafers

(And he'll be joing Syd Smurf sometime soon !!!)

Rachel.

Oh, OK

Just did a search and someone thinks he is a UK fottball club ??
Odd that he was sold in NZ.... Wait, the one I have has white shorts and a stripe...

Rachel.

hi Rachel

I noticed there is a smurf in the Katalog PAGE 317 sort of like yours

its #4.3128 listed at $85 euros! its says Karlsuher SC

Bundessligas schlumpe.

85.00 EUR
Euro = 143.224 AUD
Australia Dollars

not bad!!!!

Well if that's the case, then he really belongs in dyars collection....

He was nice enough to make me a trade offer, so he gets him !!

Rachel.

HI Rachel!

I'm sure he will be thrilled!

Check him out now !!


:)Rachel.

hi! rachel!

wonderful! he looks fantastic!

He looks a lot happier now Rachel...thank you sooooooo much for this. He will be well looked after and thank you so much for all your care with this guy. You have done an amazing job.

Thank you

Dyar

Is this the same guy who's listed as German national team in the DSK?

If so he seems to have his own Schleich number.

It makes more sense to me that he's A Kiwi soccer player as the German team strip looks and has never looked like this

I have received this smurf (a big thank you to Rachel from NZ fro trading with me) and I have to say I believe this is a New Zealand only smurf after hearing from both Daryl & Rachel from when they were younger. The markings are Hong Kong which would fit with being a smurf released more so in either the US/Aust or New Zealand for the 1982 world cup. This smurf originally came with the keyring which is also different to the other smurfs in the Katalog and fits with the design of the New Zealand All Whites from the guys here who would know.

I think we might of discovered a new promo smurf that not many people knew of previously...I certainly wasn't aware of this one although Daryl being a Kiwi certainly did of course. Do you have one of these now Daryl?

Dyar

That is excellent news Dyar, congratulations.

I love discoveries like this one, it is so exciting and Thanks to Rachel, Darryl and yourself for keeping us all informed.
