Need help identifying a smurf and I found a form variation

Hi,
Today I have received this smurf:

He is of a metal like iron and weighs about 125 gram (about five times as heavy as normal smurfs)...He is painted with a colour that seems to flake off very easily...
Does anyone have an idea what a kind of smurf this is?

And I got another smurf. It is the known variation of the 2008 surprise smurfette with orange candles. I also saw another difference between them. The variation with the orange candels leans back.

You can see that the left smurfette has a gap between the cake and her... - How do you say? - buttocks. :) :D

Well spotted Simon and yes "buttocks" is the right word! :-D I shall check mine later to see if they do the same.

Can't help you with the other smurf though.

I am not sure about the Brainy smurf, Simon

I noticed that nearly all of my smurfettes are slightly different, too. I don't think they count as "official" variations as it probably happened when the PVC dried...but I keep mine as variations anyway :yes:

Hi Simon :hiya:

This metal smurf is a fake, but a nice one to have anyway. I have one of these too but it's unpainted. This is just my opinion but, I think someone has painted this themselves which explains why the paint is flaking off so easily.

Dyar :cheers:
