Blue Cavern

I´ve just bought this CNT mechanic.
If someone of you have it too, can you tell me if has any marks under the feet?
Mine has a clear Peyo sign, a former schleich sign (remember the round with a figure with long arms and legs lthat looks like walking?) and a number 3 ( suspiciously a little bigger than the usual numbers).
It doesn´t look like a fake but in DSK it doesn´t appear any original mechanic with this orange colour.
It´s a Cnt with marking?.It wouldn´t be the first because I have others but this one is a bit different.I don´t know.
So ,What do you think?

I can't help you but I do think he's cute.

Hi,
My yellow CNT mechanic does have the same markings as yours, so I am very sure, that your CNT is also authentic!
There are some CNTs with markings as far as I know.

I have several CNT mechanics ( with different markings) and yours is absolutely genuine!

I adore CNTs and I especially like the mechanic!! Your CNT is a lovely little guy, Carlos!

Congrats, he looks great!

As far as I know there are two variations of this CNT..one with markings and one without.

I have the one without any markings, but if I remember correctly Rachel had the one with the markings

That`s correct! In fact, there are 3 versions if you count the mechanic with orange trousers as well

I have the same one Carlos but it has always puzzled me....cos CNTs should NOT have any markings. I really don't understand why this one would. It seems to appear a lot though but when you relate it to other authentic CNTs you have to wonder why this one would have authentic Schleich/Peyo markings.

Does anyone have any more info on why this may be the case?

Maybe they were meant to be released by Schleich at one point which would explain their better quality than normal unlicensed smurfs, but they didn't meet quite the Schleich standards, so only a few got the stamp

I also wondered about that Carlos!
One of my CNT kickers has markings and one of my CNT spassmachers has the Schleich emblem, but I can`t explain it either

Lia

The first thing I thought was that this one is an schleich original, because the others cnt markings that I have are very different.
Something like:
PVC NO TOXICO or just PAT. or even Peyo and in some cases dates.
But I´ve never found one CNT with this Schleich stamp.That´s why I thought this was an strange original with orange clothes.
Anyway, I love it!!!
