Hello everybody
I received the last Super I needed today so I brought them all out for a little photo shoot (will post little pic when sorted)
While I was looking at them (well the boxes anyway) I started with all these questions. I love colour variations but I've never really paid so much attention to them with the super smurfs.

Please am I correct with the following;

- That the motorcross and log car variations have their own box, are there any others like this? eg. fireman?
- Did most of the colour variations eg. sled, chimney, skateboard come in the standard box and it was pot luck what colour you got?
- Where supers were released in the old and new style box, is there always/sometimes/never a small difference somewhere with the smurf?

Over time I will try and browse more and make some notes but any info. that can point me in right direction would be much appreciated

Great topic and great questions...I haven't gotten to my supers yet, but I will have the same questions, so I am happy somebody else asked

and a big congratulations on getting your last Super smurf

Congrats on getting your last super, Sue

I haven't had a good look at my supers or the boxes.

It's funny, sometimes I don't notice things till I've seen someone post a pic and explain what the differences are. I must be blind, takes me awhile to see it and then when I finally do I can't believe I didn't see it immediately

Hi Sue

Here is a link to my site and the super smurf boxes I have which is no way a complete collection of course:

As far as I know there isn't a Fireman box that shows the yellow jacket variation. I know the Hong Kong variations which were released in America (like the Motorcross & Log Car) have different boxes to the ones released in Europe.

Other that are different besides the Motorcross & Log Car would be:

40221 - Rocking Horse (the old box shows the variation with the rubber bands and the other with the plastic girdle)

40222 - Aeroplane (old box with the orange wheels, new box with the yellow wheels)

40224 - Papa Teacher (English version for America (old) and numeral version for elsewhere which is now standard)

40230 - Scooter (old version box had a yellow Scooter whereas newer version has the standard red Scooter) I am not sure that the yellow scooter was ever released publicly though.

40507 - Weightlifter (old version has the brown uniform whereas new version has the pink uniform)

40509 - Bars Gymnast (darker brown bars and light brown bars)

40510 - Rings Gymanst (red string variation and white string variation)

There are probably a couple of others too but here's some for starters

Thank you Maureen and Rae, it was nice to get the final one

Thanks for the link and info Dyar

I notice that you have a 4.0223 volleyball that shows a brown ball on the box - is it a brown ball inside the box too?

It appears that sometimes the picture on the box does not show accurately what is inside - so it's hard to tell if it's just the box that's different or something about the smurf as well?
eg. I looked at Go-Cart smurf boxes and thought the steering columns would be different but for real they appear the same?

No they were all maroon in those ones with the box. At least the W Germany & the Hong Kong variations I have all came with a maroon ball.

However the recent French Smurf Magazine series "Je Collectione Les Schtroumpfs" contained a China CE variation that came with a brown ball which is different of course to the previous productions of them. Unfortunately the magazines didn't come with any boxes for the super smurfs as they would of been different too I would imagine.

Hi Sue, congratulations on finishing the super smurfs.

I still have a lot of learning to do regarding the super smurfs so I was interested to see this topic. To be honest, until I get around to updating my super smurfs I have no idea as to what I have even got.

Thanks for the info so far guys.

Hiya. My poor little smurfs have to be in storage in a cupboard for now

Below is a quick pic. of supers when they came out for air the other day

What a wonderfull piccy Sue - nice Supers

That pic looks great
I'm just sorry of those poor little smurfs that'll never see the daylight again.

That is a lovely pic Sue.

Wow, you have a great colection of supers there. Dare I ask, which is your favourite?

Great pic, Sue

They look good all lined up like that

Do you have all the supers?

I love that picture Sue !

Maybe it is time to keep them out !

That photo is great Sue I've got a lot of collecting to do before I have that many

Thanks guys

Do you have all the supers?

I think I have one variation of each? I always liked the supers (they come in boxes ) so I think this is why I finished this set first

Dare I ask, which is your favourite?

I have to say Log car except I wish the smurf looked a bit different from the tricycle one . Log car varaiation is definately high on my wish list right now

Thanks guys

Do you have all the supers?

I think I have one variation of each? I always liked the supers (they come in boxes0

Cool

I think I have about 10 supers that I am missing boxes for, the rest are all out on display though and the boxes are put away.

So well done having all the boxes for them and some variations

Great pic Sue.....just have to ask.....are you selling them?

Sorry Sue......you know I can't help myself

Seriously though that is a cool looking pic to see them all like that. Which Log Car variation are you after.....the Hong Kong variation with white candles?

Dyar

@ Dyar - I spent ages working out how to put those words on and now you take the ....

Yes it's the one with the white candles

Want me to fin-slap him for you, Sue? I'm all too happy to as I haven't slapped him in a while...hmm, either I'm slipping or he's actually being good ACK!

Thank you Staci Please slap away!
