Ok here is the Dyar report on the new 2008 smurfs that probably nobody will want to read

20701 Anniversary Smurf: I wish the designer would tie a yellow ribbon around his neck to avoid a disaster like this happening again.

20702 Party Gargamel: Could be Catholic Priest Gargamel with the look of pedophilia in his eyes or either the party had some very good reefer there. He looks like he has added some pounds in his old age and a few more wrinkles.

20703 Party Azrael: Why couldn't they have Party Puppy??? Why cats....what is wrong with the world these days. I might just add a mini hat on my old Azrael and save me some money.

20704 Surprise Smurfette: Now this is something different and with a mould like that it may not be around for too long. Good to see their are candles to give Smurfette something to blow due to Smurfs not anatomically qualifying.

20705 Party Smurf: Blowing like that he's everyone's favourite Party Smurf. Not a bad design if a little simple.

20706 Papa Smurf chasing tails: I was always told that if you looked up Liberace's backside you will find Michael Jackson's other glove...but this is not true as this Papa is holding onto it. Does Papa shake hands with his left hand? On a side note I think the artist we just call Prince is a perfect example that MJ and Liberace had a love child.

20707 Drummer Smurf: Too similiar too the MB version like Fishy said. But a party without a bang is no fun and since smurfs can't beat themselves I would imagine there would be drums all around the village.

20708 Bottle Smurf: I like this....let me rephrase that...I would like a bottle taller than me but I doubt I could lift it like this smurf can. Not a bad design and it's gonna make Thirsty pretty damn jealous.

Like I said I will probably like them more when I see them in the flesh.

PS - Sorry for the distasteful nature of this post...but people complain if I try act seriously and start to think there's something wrong with me. What's a fella meant to do?

Yes, I agree, a 'Party Puppy' would have been great!!

I wish they would exchange the smurf drummer with a smurf holding balloons.

I'm a woman who happens to be gay and the smurfette doesn't do it for me either.

I'm a woman who happens to not be gay but that smurfette does it for me

You can kind of see why us guys are all confused and stuff

Nice one, Fishy!!!

I am not saying that I don't like the smurfette but she just isn't my favourite. Who knows?? I may feel differently about her once she's a member of my ever-growing collection.

Smurfs rule!!!

I'm missing two options :

- no favorites at all
- they made them as ugly as possible

I really think only papa smurf is nice but for all others I dislike them a little bit.... I missing some more fancy. For kids they are not really interesting to play with

The Anniversary Smurf I really don't know what the creator thought at making it
The gargamel looks a little bit drunken and the cat is looking homemade (the truth at first look to the pics :"Who is kidding me")
Smurfettes at all are not my favourite smurf

and so on and so on

Nothing serious but I'm a little bit disappointed

[Dusty]

Hi,

i have to agree Tine. I am also a little bit dissapointed.

Maybe the bottle smurf will bring a new promo smurf.

I could comment and call you a name, but I won't I won't I won't



excellent description of the new smurfs, Dyar.... Just one minor correction....I would call Azrael in this case an insult to all cats....

[eggie smurf]

I was going to start a poll of which is your LEAST favorite of the 2008 smurfs but Beers made me go back to work

[Guest]

NIKE..........just do it

Richard made a comment when he saw the pics - not much detail on these lot, I have to admit I agree. We have seen some really nice, well detailed figurs over the last few years, some of these really are lacking a bit.

I love the new smurfs for this year !! I love the smurf with the bottle it is funny how big the bottle is next to him makes him look like he is in for a fun night lol


Party Gargamel looks like he been smoking somthing funnny

[Smurf1303]

Smurfette in cake cos it's different & specific to being 50 but really like party as well.

Think mostly like for variant is also the cake or maybe party (maybe that's why i'm drawn to them)

Think mostly likely to last any time in current 50 is Azrael & the champagne smurf (as a gift for adults)

like idea of promo champagne smurfs, only, and i don't know, but are smurfs the kind of image moet & chandon etc are going for (not saying they shouldn't be, clearly they should), but is it? .... we can only hope.

good pool qu though

[Rachel]

Very interesting to such two such clear favourites.

I wonder if we will all feel the same when we actually get the new smurfs?

I was wondering that too Rach. I have been very harsh on the new ones but I am wondering if I will like them better once I see them in the flesh......we all know we will love them as much any smurfs possibly more if they become rare in a very short time.

Just like Stace, I am wondering what the display box will look like too

I really like the new smurfs - I could use a little light-hearted celebrating and I think they are delightful. I chose bottle smurf...but Azreal is a close second!

[Syd Smurf]

I could use a little light-hearted celebrating

Me too

Although on the weekend I did a little heavy-hearted celebrating which was kind of fun but geez.....gonna act a bit quieter this week me thinks as I recover

My first choice was Bottle Smurf, my second would be Surprise Smurfette.
