Blue Cavern

today I received a nice and rare promo from "Kirchenzeitung". I suspect it is a swiss newspaper for the catholic church and the name of the founder of this newspaper was "Schlumpf". I think this was the reason to do a promo with a smurf..

It was coming in a lot and in nice condition but with some small scratches.

Many thanks to Martin talking about this promo

Nice picture & well done Cheesy.

Do you know anything else about this smurf e.g. when it was made, why distributed? Didn't even realise there was a kirchen promo?

Congratulations Cheesy , very nice promo

He's nice Cheesy, I don't remember seeing that one before.

It must be funny being called Schlumpf especially when you have kids & get called Papa

Very nice one, congrats.

I have never seen that one before. Thanks for telling us about it's background
Did you know it was in the lot or was it a surprise when you got it?

He is a lovely smurf Tine, well done on getting him !

rofl....Tojo you are right... this must be quite funny for kids.

I was only looking on sunday on ebay what is finishing and I saw an auction only two minutes to go and on the second pic I saw that promo.
I saw this smurfs only once before on a smurf collector homepage but I'm quite sure it is an original one...

Here the link to this homepage :

Does anyone think that perhaps before 2020 SChleich will publish a list with all the smurfs it has used as promo????

Does Schleich even admit to making smurfs ? There customer care is rubbish !

Does Schleich even admit to making smurfs ? There customer care is rubbish ! Surprised

This made me laugh out loud I reckon the answers are "no" & "no" especially to Beer's question

I have seen this promo a few times now. To be honest, I know nothing of the origins of this smurfs but I do know there are some collectors who are convinced it is genuine and others who think they are all fakes. So if anyone has any information regarding this smurf, please feel free to share.

Great link to Andy's fab site Tine. I do love to visit there to drool.

Thanks for the image and link Tine

Is the newspaper the smurf is holding made from pvc too or something else, please?

Lovely Smurf, Tine

I don't know anything about this promo either.....promos are spensive, me poor.....so me not know much

Well done Tine, seems like a very hard one to find

Dyar
