Does anyone know if this is a real smurf or an altered smurf? It is congratulations holding a tiny pepsi can. Very cute but I haven't seen it in any of the Katalogs or guide books. Thanks!

Hi Stepsi

It's a cool little dude and I am thinking it's just a taste of the new fake generation of smurfs but I can't be too sure. Maybe some one here CAN take up the Pepsi challenge and let us both know for sure whether this little guy is or not...the real thing.

enjoy

RE: SMURF AUTHENTICITY

I think that the smurf you have pictured could be one of the new breed of fakes but I am not certain. Maybe someone here might be able to help you tell whether it is authentic or not.

Yours sincerely

Incognito question from the Kentucky Chicken

Why do this seller's auctions always look so similar to JokeySmurf aka Blue_White_Men's auctions?

Find this VERY strange...

Todd (aka Kentucky Chicken)

Hi Staci, I spotted this one last night as well. It is a fake, although there is no mention of it in the description. This type of fake pops up every so often, there were a spate of them a couple of years ago with a few different types of pepsi and coke cans.

What I can never understand is someone paying (in this case £16 so far) for a smurf that would cost less than £1 if incomplete, that someone has stuck another object in his hands which is also (probably) worthless.
Maybe that is it? Anyone know if it is a really rare tiny pepsi can?

I know these smurfs can look appealing, on that front I can understand someone wanting one in their collection BUT personally if I am ever spending more than a couple of pounds on a smurf I want to know it is worth it. ie. it is real, it is hard to find etc.

As a collector who does actually collect fake smurfs, I wouldn't spend very much on this type of fake or better still I would make my own!

Unfortunately, as long as people are prepared to spend over the odds on these fake smurfs, others will keep selling them.

Hi Colonel.....or do you prefer KC?

I was saying the same thing to Stace the other night. You are talking about the "I provide actual...." comment aren't you. Mmm very interesting.

Hmmm yes I agree with Playstation Smurf and the pricing structure is similar as well, Sydney Smurfy.
