Does anybody know the identity of this little chap? I got him at Blue Paradise (not from the sisters) and thought he was a mini model, taking the word mini literally! He's 3/4 the size of a regular smurf and there are no markings on him.
I now know of-course that he isn't a mini model, but I would like to know what he is. Lia thought he might be a mini IMPS promo, but as he doesn't have any markings she isn't sure. What do you think?

Could it be a Mini smurf from Finland?
Dyar has some towards the middle of the page

He has the cake smurf but I can't tell if it looks like yours

I have 2 of these painted minis. The sledder and the skier.
And according to the catalogue there should be one of the 20100 cakesmurfs also. My skier has the markings peyo and imps 1990, but the sledder I don´t think has any markings.
Could be that one maybe?? Seems a little to big though????

I checked my sledder and it has the same markings as the skier.
Peyo RVC, IMPS 1990.
So I don´t think it is that one.

Andre,
when you check Dyar's site (link above) you see two different kind of minis
the Schleich minis have the markings yours have...and the Finish minis have no markings

Yes Maureen,
I does look like it.
I have not seen any of these so I have no idea what the size of them are.
I remember Anette sold a lot of these minis many many years ago. I had no intrest in them then.
I can´t remember what kind of minis though. Just remember she had a picture of the originalsized smurf beside the minismurf for each smurf for sale.

He's too big to be a Finnish one Moey. I got 2 from the sisters and they're much smaller than this fella. I'll take some more pics tomorrow. Good idea though.

Bugger, I thought it might be a Finish one as well. Yonna would know for sure...that is where I got some of my Fin smurfs from. They are so adorable and small
