Blue Cavern

Our village fair is on at the moment & the shooting stand has loads of prizes including Albert Hein plush smurfs

These are the same size as the USA 50th anniversary normal smurf which plays music & has the golden smurf with it. There's normal, papa & smurfette. Sara won the smurfette one & I assumed when she got it that it was one of those from the supermarket action last year where you had to collect points for them only they are smaller & there wasn't a papa.

Sara's smurfette also has no knickers while the smaller ones do - frilly ones at that . It has the same round paper tag that the smaller smurfette has (same barcode as well) but instead of the tag being attached to the hand it's attached to the ear.

Does anyone know where these 3 plush smurfs come from? Was there a later action at Albert Hein?

I'd love to know how these smurfs found their way to the shooting stall

No Tojo, the action for the 2 plush was in the same period as the 15 smaller smurfs, febr/march 2008

Tojo I have seen alot of what look like AH Plush Smurfs on eBay but are Hong Kong rip offs. Maybe they ordered them from there?

Here's an auction for all 3.

As you can see smurfette's hair is different than the regular AH smurfette / USA version.

The ones in the auction are the same ones I have seen from HK as well that seem to be fakes of the AHs.

A few different companies came out with plushes last year that were just like the AH and the playalongs which got very confusing for me!! Below is a photo from Dyar's website about some of the plushes with an explanation:

Thanks for the infos.

I didn't think they could be official releases although they are as well made as the official ones.

@Tojo: You better check out Papa wearing a pair of normal trousers.

Oh, yeah, I hadn't noticed that Maybe his red ones were at the laundry

Hi All...
Tojo, can you measure the size of the pluche we are talking about here?

If Dyar is right about the boxed and unboxed play-along's being the same as the AH ones, then these would measure about 22 cm, whereas the Play Along Special Edition is about 27 centimeter.

I measured them sitting down, and than from floor to top of hat: Legs are bit more difficult to measure I thought, so sitting positions seemed best compare to me. So the PA special edition is really bigger than the real AH ones.

What size is the one Sara won, 22 or 27 cm sitting down?

About fake or real, the AH ones I got are real, got them myself, and the action, nor later as Lia said as well, never had a pluche Papa.

These are the ones we have:

Greetings Aly & Ron

Great information on those Plush Smurfs, Eggie! Thanks.

I'll measure the smurfette tomorrow when I get home from work.

She's sitting on the shelf next to Sara's 50th anniversary boxed play-along smurf & they are about the same size. I'll try to take some close up photos too.

Btw. today was the last day of the village fair & I had another look at the smurf prizes. The Papa's were just like the one in the ebay auction - white trousers.

I measured the smurfette & she's the same size as the 50th anniversary smurf that came in the box with the gold pvc figure - 27 cm sitting down.

Here are some pics. The second one shows she hasn't got any undies & is for Syd if he's out there somewhere

Thank you very much Mr. Tojo
