Questions re the photo thread

Chukk, what's the difference between the smurfs you can buy now, and the originals from 30 years ago? I was only saying t o hubby the other day I wish I still had mine. I think my SIL gave them to my nieces. SHe also found my barbies and gave them to her girls, who promptly broke them. I was a tad upset about that. I had a Patch doll, and my Sisters Paul doll, as well as Olympic barbie and some others. Would be worth a fortune now

i had loads of the BP collectibles, but my dog did unspeakable things to most of them, it was like blue confetti, so i just threw them all.

I have 2 holding a mirror and 2 of the girl on skates.. don't know where the second ones came from, I probably saw them at a fete or similar and rescued them

That pic is from an auction here. I was looking for a replacement painter one... post for such a small item is $6.95

My 2 daughters don't really care about the Smurfs, when we sorted stuff out a few months ago, one said ' Do you want to keep THOSE?. Yes, I do.

pimpy, there is a huge difference apart from their worth.

The molds are different, the shade of blue is different, trademark year and country they are made is all different to the originals.

The newer ones are also ugly.

Different smurfs were manufactured in different countries by different manufacturers which also adds or detracts their value

I'm sorry, but for some reason this post made me laugh so hard.

Who knew Smurf collecting was so technical
