Hi

Welcome to this forum...... i am sure you will have a great time here.

What kind of smurfs are you looking for then ??
There are so many different ones.
Maybe you can look on ebay and then explain or post a picture here ....
then maybe one of us can tell you were you can buy this one for the best price..........

Welcome Sadie!!!

Smurfs love gardens and nature!!!

Hi Sadie,

on Bluecavern Board!

If you are looking for semi big ones like 12" or bigger for the garden then I wouldn't have a clue as I have never seen any large enough for in the garden. It is funny that you mention that though. I was just saying the same thing to my wife yesterday that I wish I could find a garden size smurf.

Welcome Sadie. I am going to put a link to some Smurfs that would be prefect for the garden, however if these ever go up for sale. I doubt if you would put them in the garden if you get one somehow. http://www.flickr.com/photos/66715200@N02/
It's hard to judge how big they are. I think the very last pic will give you an idea. My guess 3 to 4 feet.

oooo those smurfs are sooo cute and they look like a decent size for my garden i emailed the person that posted the pics in hopes that he is selling it.

ok so i have another curious question lol I am a do it yourself person I can get pretty creative and after looking at some of these wonderful creations I would like to try and make some smurfs of my own, however I dont have a clue as to what material I need or even utensils to make the details look anywhere near realistic. if anyone can help me with that i greatly appreciate it. even if its like a tutorial on how to make a smurf with some pics would be AWESOME LOL (i am a visual person) lol I hope to get some pointers I am excited we close on our smurf looking house on oct 19th I will post pics soon of it

Welcome to the forum Sadie!

Hi

Those look like the unicef smurfs to me.
Take 3 apples, put them on eachother and you got the size of the smurfs.
In 2008 all over Europe Unicef put smurfs on the streets for the children to dress them up.
I guess the smurfs on the picture are smurfs dressed up by some kids.

Sadie,
Staci made a few smurfs out of clay a few years ago....here is what she did after she got a few molds (which she found on ebay)

I am sure you could make your own smurfs for the garden out of clay as well...even without a mold

to the forum Sadie!
Hope you can find/make you garden smurfs. I knows I'm looking forward to seeing them for one.
Good luck.

Hi SadieSmurf; I don't know this for sure. But I know someone said those Smurfs sold at Auction. And if I remember correctly he missed that auction by about a week. I guess those figures could be 3 apples tall Frank. Take a look at the very last pic. It has a bunch of things that make me think they are bigger. Altho if all those items are for a doll house then you could be right.

Hi Bill

I will take pictures of the Unicef and a pvc just to compare
They would look nice into the garden, but were i live you don't have to try.
Or they will be gone or broke.....................

Hi

Here is a picture from a Unicef smurf next to a Schleich pvc papa..........
There not as big as you would expect, i think these are life-sized, like i wrote before 3 apples high.

I'd forgotten all about those smurfs that Staci made. They are truly wonderful

I still have a few unpainted sets left if anyone would like some
