Been looking for this one like, forever with the red lipstick
Does this one look real or no?

Ah, a monis toyshop special. This is a repaint of a CNT figure or potentially a remold of one with new paint job. Monis and Davi & Giani have a habit of repainting smurfs. Best to avoid these 2 sellers for colour variations. Not sure if there was ever a genuine paint variation like this for CNT. Anyone else know?

Lia might know if it ever existed

Will ask her

Cheers. Got to love the rationale behind this if they're not real.....put it in the catalogue so everyone thinks they are, and then they can paint and sell the fakes. Brilliant.
I'll wait with baited breath and in the meantime dream about the two spies (pink cape inside and red cape inside) I just got

I have no idea where they came from, but I have a series of 11 of these...quite lovely and marked pvc no toxico

Thanks Lia. He's beautiful. Great to know he exists. I have made an offer. Lets see

Hi Lia,
but what do you think of the one that Monis is selling? He is renowned for fakes and repaints,
cheers, Tommo

I understand your point of view Tommo. All I can say and see that it`s exactly like mine...but not cheap.

I received my conductor today. Absolutely gorgeous. Doesn't look like a fake at all. One of my bucket list pieces so over the moon. I have the Yellow jacket version on the way too I got at a great price.

Well done Nick!

It always pleasing to hear someone receiving a really rare Smurf. I just wish I had more courage and confidence when it comes to buying rare smurfs.

Thanks Kathy
I'm sitting here at 5 in the morning unable to sleep doing some composition for my orchestra at the moment with the little dude sitting atop my printer where I can see him for inspiration.

Very happy for you Nick!
A great feeling when you get a Holy Grail piece
Have a nice weekend
Martin

Cheers Martin. I'm thrilled. Now for the next dream.....he is red- lol
