What is that one on the right? Knight has no markings.
I think he´s a fake, but I wonder if someone knows better...

Mine all look like yours on the left of the picture, the trident thing looks like it's been bent from heat, but not sure if they've ever painted helmet that colour, looks a bit like the colour of the mirror for the new vanity?

He is a fake JT. I have one of these and consider them to be a Grotesque Fake (which seems to be almost every fake under the sun except for Spanish, Polish, Mexican or repainted). I have no idea about the origins of this one so I just call it Grotesque along with every unknown fake I have.

He's not a bad looking fake though.....I like him anyway and he looks pretty cool next to the authentic ones

I think some fakes are lovely, and I can see why collector's collect them. I have a couple of fakes myself, and they are loved just as much as the rest of the smurf clan. :-D

Hi, Sharon!!!!!!I think a lot of collectors began collecting only licensed smurfs, but we have notived that there is a special "charm" in some kinds of fakes...I don´t like "smurfytown" or "robcar" fakes :( :( :( but I do polish, spanish, mexicans etc :) :) :) :)

Yes, I agree Joaguin! I wouldn't touch these sellers. There a few others that sell fakes knowingly, just to make money, that I wouldn't touch either.

:banghead: :(
