Blue Cavern

The floor in the room, where I store my smurfs was as old as Methusalem, but it took me quite some time to decide to take a new floor.
Finally I found the courage to take everything out ( including all my glasscupboards and smurfs) and this week, I got a new floor!
And an extra cupboard!

Since there is a terible snowstorm today , even the spidersweb is frozen, ( hardly any traffic, no busses, no football matches, no nothing) and I cannot leave my house, it`s a perfect day to put the smurfs back in the cupboards. So..hundreds, or probably thousands of smurfs are going through my hands and I have now more space for my supersmurfs , my nice basketball smurfs with coloured balls, etc. Even the band from`98 can be stored.
I found some old orange Belgian smurfs that I would like to know more about.
Are they Dupuis? I know 6 exist, no markings.
Does anyone know?

Very nice to see some of your collection, and is gonna be a very nice smurfroom!
You said you got a new cupboard...is one in the pictures?
What size it is and where you got it? We are also still looking for a vitrine, but we want one which is not so deep....

I like those cabinets. Good to see your smurfs are back at their rightful place.

Sounds like you had a very very smurfy day

Thanks Maureen, I dìd!

@Ron: second cupboard on the right is new.
I always order 4 or 5 extra shelves ( there are standard 4 shelves), so that gives me space for 500 more smurfs
32 cm deep ( x 175 cm H x 67 cm Br)

Very nice Lia.

More smurfs to display.
I would also like to have the space you have.

I can´t help it Lia but on all the pictures from you my eyes are always drawn to the pink basket with the baby. I think you should have that one in its own cabinet. And then you don´t have to order extra shelves, right.

Those are very nice cabinets Lia & are perfect for displaying your collection

Very nice smurf cabinets and new floor!

Thank you all!

( André, apart from these cabinets on the picture,I have cabinets for my sockels, mini`s and special omo-smurfs, but I agree that the baby is worth having a special place)

I still hope that a ( Belgian) member can help me with info about the origine of the 2 orange smurfs?

Lia

OHHHHHHHHHHHH, Lia!!!!!!!!It seems you have to work hardly...But this kind of work is really NICE: I always find new things I had not noticed when I rearrange my smufs

Thank you all!

I still hope that a ( Belgian) member can help me with info about the origine of the 2 orange smurfs?

Lia, I hope you don't mind but I moved this thread to the smurf collector's corner. I hope it'll be easier for you to get an answer in there

I, actually, would love to learn more about them, too

It`s ok Maureen!
And I already received an answer!
Like I suspected, they are ancient dupuis smurfs!
At least, that`s what a very gentle Belgian collector told me and he collects since the seventies, so I suppose, he knows!

To compare, I`ll show the normal dupuis union and the orange versions (pics are borrowed from someone) and it makes sense!

and yes Joaquin, it`s a nice job and I took the opportunity to put all my bottles together for a picture.
Still missing 3 werbeclips though, but I`m happy with the ones, I have.

Lia

Even though they aren't blue, I really like those orange smurfs. Fantastic and WOW on your cabinets. Good luck getting everything back in there. Should look awesome when you finish.

OMG Lia!!! That last picture is amazing

I love those ancient orange smurfs too! It's really nice to see pictures of your smurf cabinets Lia. I always wondered what your collection room looked like!
