I received the brochure from the licensing fair today, and was excited to read about a few upcoming items. It seems they will be released mainly in Europe
The flyer mentions the AH promotion and the Kinder smurfs from Ferrero that will be released in October.
It also says :
- Henkel developed a program throughout Europe supporting the launch of the brand new smurf hair care products for kids
- Haribo, Delacre, Lannoo Graphics, Leaf are organisiong promotional activities related to the 50th anniversary in major supermarkets
- it mentions the Panini album being released in Belgium
- Vivartia in Greece will offer smurf premiums in the Goody's quick service restaurants
- it mentions the shirts from Inditex (Oysho Europe), Oviesse, and Jay Jays
- Leomil will release children footwear
- New smurf games are/will be realised by Upperdeck and Brio
- the new Smurf Pop CDs
- New Audio books will be first released in Germany, Norway and Sweden
- the first Smurf chocolate coins will be created
- he Belgian post office will bring out a smurf stamp in September, FOLLOWED BY A SMURF SILVER COIN MINTED BY THE ROYAL BEGIAN MINT
- it mentions the new PIxi, Leblon
- Delacre will design a smurf anniversary tin box
I think this all sounds very exciting especially the tin box and the silver coin.
I am not sure if anybody noticed in the picture Gerda posted, but there is also a McDonald smurf house in it...which makes me hopeful that they will also jump on the band wagon
Here is the picture again
