Thanks! Now we know for sure that those smurfs with erased markings or 3 stripes are indeed Herings!
We`ve made progress with our knowledge since you joined here!
But why did someone want to hide those markings???
No doubt, that I will continue this discussion with Joaquin and André
One theory was that the markings were erased when Schleich stopped giving them license to produce the smurfs which is why I never considered either of them unlicensed smurfs like the CNTs
I have the gift and flower with the Hering marking and the three stripes and always believed it to be a Hering and not a Minimodel (it was sold to me as a Minimodel) because the marking is just too much alike, so it's great to finally get some proof for my theory
Even before seeing the Hering Brazil marking it didn't make sense to me that the three stripes would be Minimodels because it didn't seem big enough to hide the huge Minimodel emblem

Finally, finally, another smurfy dream came true.
I wanted so muuuuuuch the Hering Papai house, but it was almost impossible to find.
All Hering houses are very very difficult to find, but the familia and smurfette house are sometimes for sale, the papai house however is selden offered.
Today it arrived, directly from Brasil!
( the shipping costs nearly killed me, but never mind...)
I`m really happy with it!!
