Sorry if this is a novice question, and no, this isn't my auction. Can anyone identify these Smurfs for me? I'm a big fan of the "normal" Smurf figures, but I've never seen these before. Are they Supers?

Hi Wakko,
These are actually fakes out of Hong Kong for last year's kinder smurfs that came out in October. You can see the thread here:

Here is a comparison thread of the real and fakes also:

The fakes have Schleich tags on them and are the same size as regular PVCs whereas the real kinders are much smaller and are not made by Schleich so they wouldn't have tags.

Hope this helps

Those are Kinder Smurfs but the fake ones I think. I don't think the Kinder Smurfs came with tags. This is a thing that the Chineese do to try to trick you. I have a set of them and they are cute but don't pay too much for them if you want them. They did the same with the Mcdonald's Smurfs.

I still really love these fake smurfs of the kinders. I recommend buying them but like Bill said don't pay too much for them. They are really nice fakes though.
