And a few others.... Yay. Thank you Karen!!!! :hug: How exciting!!!! They're soooooo cute.

Now for a question....... for those of you who remove the label, how do you remove the sticky residue on the Smurfs?

I've seen some smurfs use their Tongues, but then they learn quickly not to do that again! :mrgreen: But I think it depends if they can reach their heads around or not.. you might have to do it for them. If you do can you post a picture here for us????? :weird: :neener: :mrgreen: :photo:

remove the label,
NOOOOOO Don't do it!!! :argue:

If you do take the label off though.. I have no idea how to take the sticky part off... for some reason I want to say try rubbing alcohol... not sure why, but for some reason I am thinking I got some glue off with that once.. :-? then again my mind don't always work right so who knows what it is I'm rembering.. or not rembering so don't listen to me :banghead: :banghead:

...or you could try drinking alcohol. It may not work but you might feel better about things. :D

I just use a wet cloth which seems to work ok.

I noticed the ghost looks a nasty colour under that label, the sticky really shows up, I'm not sure I'd recommend taking the label off that one.

I wonder if the Formula 9-1-1 works, has anyone tried it?

I used to clean my smurfs with "Jif" applied neat.. not sure what its called around the world but its a mild house hold cleaners. I haven't tried it with the newer types of smurfs.

Thanks everyone :cheers:

Yeah I'm in two minds (must be the drinking, thanks HPH :cheers: ) about taking the label off. Too keep it on cause it's good to keep it on, or to take it off cause they look way cuter when it's off...... :banghead: :banghead:

Syd always removes the tags on the Smurfettes.....but then again that's only the start of the process for him....I really don't recommend paint stripping though for other collectors but he does prefer them in the raw.
