Here i show you the new smurfs added in my collection :

Hi Jocelyn

These are really nice. I love the larger sized smurfs as they really stand out next to the other smurfy items. Nice to have 2 different colours too.

Dyar

Thanks Syd i love them too even if they are unlicensed

Lovely Kings Jocelyn

I have a 8" red king, I'd still like to get the big ones like yours someday

Fantastic Kings Jocelyn..I love them..I really want to get myself one, but the recent ones don't seem to have cloaks on, and they don't look as nice as yours.

Hi Jocelyn,


I have the yellow king, he is one of my favorites.
They really are nice quality even though they are unlicenced aren't they!
I bought a smaller 8 inch white king several weeks ago but unfortunately he never arrived!

Hopefully I will be able to find another small one eventually,


Trish

There is one with a red hat, I will like to add it to my collection

I have a large yellow cap King and the small red one but I would like to get the white cap variation someday. I know Stace has a few of these now but unfortunately she won't send any of them to me which is just damn rude.

I agree though that they are pretty nice quality compared to what I thought they might of been like.

Dyar

Very nice kings.. I love the blue caped white hat one!! Nice wins there!!

hi Jocelyn!!

really nice photos and really nice Kings!

thanks all
i made those photos yesterday with my new camera that i bought for the "Great Price of Monaco"

Lovely pics of lovely smurfs Jocelyn, Thanks for sharing them with us.

It is nice to see the white hat and yellow hat pictured together and as Dyar says, these larger smurfs are fabulous to display.

thanks Rachel...I want that with the red hat now

They are really nice Jocelyn !!!


Margaret

thanks Margaret i love them

Those are really nice, Jocelyn. I don't have any larger King Smurfs so I am quite jealous. For some reason they remind me of Santa Claus in their fur trimmed cloaks!

I agree about their high quality. With the one I found in China, if I didn't know the model was a fake, I wouldn't otherwise be able to tell. It is very well crafted, looks good, and is made of good quality rubber / PVC / whatever (not resin)(it smells like rubber and can be pinched slightly). Mine is slightly misfit at the waist (where stomach joins the trousers), but it isn't a worse misfit than similar "official" toys that can be re-posed.

Mine came in a ribbon-tied, transparent plastic bag with no identification markings on the bag (careless of supporting the archeological record, I threw the bag away in China).

I was pretty shocked by the find. I'd been in Beijing for two weeks and not found a trace of smurfs. Then, on an overnight tour of Chengde, a small city 225 km north of Beijing, I found the smurf by accident when I happened to stop inside a small toy shop on an after-supper walk to find a convenience store.

At 98 yuan (about US$12), the toy is probably over-priced for the Chinese market, and considering that smurfs (lan-jing-lings) are considered "so yesterday" now in China, the toy's twin (which I now regret not buying) will probably be languishing there for a long time. (The shop was a little grimy, and I almost didn't even buy one because I feared the cloak would be mildewy and nasty--on the contrary, it was just fine).

Hi Jocelyn,

Great Kingsmurfs you have there!

I think they really fits in your royalty collection!

Thank you Michelle
