Hi people!
Has anyone encountered these before. They are 9cm tall plastic Smurfs from the beginning of 80's or earlier. The material is like in those squeeze toys that make a sound when you step on them, but with a hairy/fluffy surface. The colours have fainted (I tried to get them to look as they are) but the hair has only come off on the fingers and sharp edges like the sides of the shoes. I've had a Normal Smurf as well, but could not find him now. He has also lost his colours like this, so I believe it is characteristic of these hairy dudes. There are no production markings at all.

I was unable to find these Smurfs on the net so I thought I'll the real experts, you guys! I don't collect non-PVC stuff, but I had to save these from the flee market.

And sorry for posting dirty pictures here

PS. Is the attached picture huge on your screen? I don't know what happened, to me it looks much bigger than the one I attached (400x320pix).

The picture ain't huge, it's nice and crisp (and naughty). I have normal smurf from these, also faded, but I don't know anything else about it either.

Yes, now the image size looks right. In the preview mode it seemed about 900pix wide which got me confused. Or maybe its just my medication

Here you can find them (Papa, Smurfette and three Normals) for sale. Again, they are very badly faded...

OK, Xavier provided me with some info: these are from a playset "FLoCKED figures" made in china in 1988 and there are 9 different figurines all together. They are described in USA catlogue "unauthorized guide of smurf" on page 109. If anyone wants these two just PM me.

WOW, these guys look like they have just come out of the freezer.

Thanks for the info, I haven't seen these before, they look interesting.

They will thaw out down here...that's for sure.....if not I might chop them up and put them in my drinks over the summer.
