Hi all i got this sockel cheap on ebay a little while ago i supose because his heart is a little chewed. i had him sent to me snail mail and he arived on valentines day, so i thought that was very apropriate. :) I noticed just befor i went to bed the other day that he looked a bit odd i dont know how i missed it befor but i looked again and to my surprise he hasnt got any pupils or mouth or painted eyebrows. :shock: :shock: has anyone else got one like this or could it be a painting error??

Smurfy regards, steve.

P.S yes look out sockel fans this is going to be my secondery collection iv just started i have got only 4 at the mo :( :( Anyone got any spair?? :-D

P.P.S What do you class a sockel as? I mean dos sockel mean a smurf on a stand/plinth? I hope all you socel experts can give me some advice on collecting these and what to look out for? :-D :D :cheers:

That's one that I don't have Steve :(

What a perfect day for him to arrive too...watch out you may start getting the sockel addiction.

Nice pic too with all of the other blue guys in the background :D

I'm supposed to be getting an american sockel soon( the ubiquitous flower and gift smurf) with "Happy mother's day" I'd prefer to do a trade if poss... the condition appears to be good from what the seller says(couldn't tell exactly on the auction) but I'll hopefully post a pic if/when(!) he arrives!!

Great to see a picture of him Steve. :-D

Very nice indeed. :clap:

I am also looking to pick up a few more sockels as I haven't really ever actively looked for them so far. They are a very interesting aspect to the hobby but I am always wary as I don't know too much about them and from what I understand, there are quite a few fakes out there.

I'm afraid it's too late for that now, they have become my new craze :)
I saw this one and did'nt take any notice of his definitions being unpainted untill he arrived. he was a good bargain for only a couple of dollars too :-D
I did'nt take much notice of the sockels at passion last year but this time i definately will :-D

Smurfy regards
Steve :D
