Over the past few years I've been slowly putting together a Smurf collection for myself, but unlike a lot of you, I'm not a completist. Instead, I'm focusing on creating my own village that consists only of specifically named Smurfs (either from the comics, cartoon or movie). My goal is to eventually have a village of 100 specific Smurfs.
In doing so, I've been amazed that there are several named Smurfs that have never been made into a figure or have only been made into a figure one time. I was surprised to find that there was no specific "Clumsy" figure until the movie figure came out. (Yes, there was a "tripping" figure that would make a good substitute, but none of them had the trademark wrinkly/low-brim hat until the movie figure.)
Right now, my collection only consists of Hefty, Brainy, Grouchy, Vanity, Farmer, Gutsy, Clockwork, Handy, Chef, Smurfette, Papa, Jokey, Clumsy, Dreamy (I use the sitting Smurf for him), Painter and Harmony. I recently won an eBay auction that will allow me to add Timid, Baker, Greedy, Hunter and Lazy (I'm going to use the one in the nightshirt holding a candle for him).
When the 2013 Smurfs come out, I'm going to use the Valentine one for Enamored, the Sorry one for Weepy, and the Sick one for Sneezy/Sickly.
Does anyone else collect like I do? And which named Smurfs do you think I should hunt down next?
