I managed to buy this Ice Hockey smurf



And great wooden puzzle.



Unfortunately Siiri is about as facinated on Smurfs as I am. I´m afraid I won´t be able to keep my collection mine much longer



Janne

Well done Janne

The ice hockey smurf is fantastic & I really like the puzzle. By the way did you forget to show what is under the puzzle piece where the crane is?

It looks like Siiri is having lots of fun with it

Ooops, yes I did. I had to be very quick to take those pics between Siiri´s constant solving and undoing the puzzle

Janne

I really like that puzzle...don't think I have seen that one before

Good job on training a new smurf collector as well

AWESOME FINDS JT!!!

LOL!! We sound like a cult! LOL!!

Very nice items Janne.

Great additions to your collection JT! I like that Ice Hockey Smurf.
I think when Siiri grows up she is going to be collecting Smurfs like you.

Unfortunately Siiri is about as facinated on Smurfs as I am.

Unfortunately????????????????????????????It think it is the best thing that can happen to a collector!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see your getting your kids into Smurfs!

It is really hard to keep them away of the Smurfs. They watch Smurfs cartoon daily on TV. Elias runs around house holding Jokey in his hand, shouting "Ylläri, ylläri". That´s something like "surprise, surprise!!".
And Siiri is definately fallen in love with Smurfs

Ps. Do you think that Ice Hockey Smurf is genuine? He looks ok, but was relatively cheap and is in excellent condition. And follow up question, do you count these canadian ice hockey players as part of regular Schleich collection or more like promo?

The Ice Hockey looks authentic JT, as far as being part of the regular Schleich or a promo, well Party Pigs did have them made specifically for them, so I guess it might be a promo?

I think it´s confusing that they have own Schleich number on some sources. Does other promos have own unique number?

JT

I've always considered them special variations

I don't think other promos have unique numbers, for example the Silan promos are the same number as the regular normal smurfs only the have Silan on them, same as the Quick super smurfs..........

I've always considered them special variations

I have as well Mo, the Party Pig Ice Hockey Smurfs are tricky....

@Janne: I love the icehockey player and the puzzle.

I second that Joaquin. I think it's best when smurfs are cherished throughout the generations.

That jigsaw looks really cool Janne ....and that's a cute picture of Siiri taking over your collection

I don´t have pictures, but I just got set of 75 smurfs yesterday. After sorting there were 15 doubles (or ones I already had) and 10 Supers without assessories.
So I got 50 new variations
Collecting variations is such a fun sometimes

JT

That sounds terrific, Janne.

Digging out for variations is such a nice thrill to enjoy time and time again.

That´s right! I managed to find even three different markings on same smurfs. There was also some paint variations (different shades, glossy etc.). But I decided to stick with different markings only as paint can change over the years depending where smurf has been kept.

That's true. If only, I was able to darken my room as much as Michelle does to keep the colors fresh. But if I should stay in my old flat (since the rent is very cheap comparing to other flats nearby), I might transform my former bedroom into a smurf room, so that the risk that the colors starting to fade will be extremely low them.
