[Syd Smurf]

Thanks Nivid....it's nice to have you waving back at us all again....I hope your monkey is doing well

Dyar

[Nivid]

thank you Dyar

I think my monkey is hangin in a tree somewhere

since I was spankin it way to much he ran away

but now I am back for a bit to check in on what you all

are up to

I have looked over your photos a few times as it is so much fun to

to see smurfs this way

I usually check EBAY but the images are too small and

no real people talk with them!

this is so fun here

[Nivid]

I forgot

I don't have my own computer yet so I can only visit when I come to see

Attom and that is if he lets me in on his computer *hint

its all good to see you guys again

I tried to sneak some of his smurfs but he has them wired up to some

electrical thing that eletrocutes you if you go near them! ouch!

[Syd Smurf]

LOL Nivid....if you find a way through the electric thingy then let us know.....we'll be there with gigantic empty bags and smiles wider than any of the Bully smurfs.

hey! you guys! just don't touch my smurfies!

I may need some laser thingies! to keep you away!

I see Nivid has wings so I might consider using a cannon on him!

[Syd Smurf]

This is a great one Dyar! and wow: it is a BIG one!!!!

I've had no complaints ......aww, except from Mrs Dyar

NEW SUPER SMURF BOXES

Chimney Sweeper - blue polkadot

I always find some interesting or odd discoveries while going through smurfs but one that comes to mind is for 20033 Clown. I have the Hong Kong W Berrie & Co variation (regular & the keychain versions) and I also have the Hong Kong W.B.CO version. These are all the same size except for the pointing fingers.

Hong Kong W Berrie Co - thinner pointing hand
Hong Kong W Berrie Co (keychain) - bigger & thicker pointing hand
Hong Kong W.B.CO - bigger & thicker pointing hand

I am now tempted to go through all of the Clowns and see who has the bigger or the smaller hands.......is this normal behaviour for anyone sane?

Anyway here is a pic to show you what I mean...
