[The Smurf Collector]

Hi Everyone, I recently received these smurfs in a bag of smurfs and would like to know a bit more information on them from the Blue Cavern knowledgable folk.

Both smurfs are only 3.5cm in height, are made of a hard plastic and also have the markings Schlumpfe Peyo under their feet.

Best Regards

Kath

Hi Kath,

Both smurfs are from the German "Kinder Ueberraschungsei". This is an chocolate egg with a toy in it - not only smurfs. There are a lot of collectors who are collecting these toys and some smurfs collectors are collecting these smurfs too - some of these are very rare. But I don' t know what's with the both you found. If I got some of these smurfs I kept them but never bought it, because I'm really collecting only the "normal" smurfs.

David has an excellent site for Kinder smurfs, especially for the older more rarer ones

Besides the Schleich smurfs, the kinder ones are among my favorites, especially the older, rarer Monoblocs ones

Thank you Stephanie & Maureen for their quick responses. Can someone please translate what Kicher is in English. It appears the smurfs I have gained are Kinder Surprise Smurfs.

Kinder means Children..but it is also the name of the eggs...Kinder Uberraschungseier is commonly translated or known as Kinder surprise eggs

Here is some information about the eggs
