Hi!!! I´ve just seen a Philip smurf with a lamp...It´s the same lamp is carrying nr 194, promo smurf (see DSKatalogue 2004). This smurf doesn´t appear in DSK 2000 and 2004... I think, it´s a device and, this smurf is for example smurf nr 20160, with a Philip lamp, in perpendicular...Am I wrong or is this smurf really a "true" variant?

Thank you

Hi,
AFAIK there are 3 official Philips Promos, #192, 193 and 198 in DSK IV on pag. 220. The rest I'm pretty sure of are fakes...

Ok, excuse me...I meant nr 198. The smurf I had seen was carrying the same lamp than promo smurf nr 198 (DSK). It´s just been sold on ebay...It´s incredible!!!!!!!!!!!´I think it´s the same than buying only the lamp...

Hi Joaquín, I think you are asking if the bulb can be held differently, yes?

If so, I am not 100% sure if the smurfs were released like this or if the bulb has been added to the wrong smurf at a later date but it is certainly the correct bulb.

I have added a pic of one that I think you are talking about.

I've seen the bulb held like that too..mine is the other way around

Hi Steve, yep mine is like yours too but I have seen the other one around a few times.

Here is mine.

Hi everyone, smurfers!!!!!!!!

Rachel: you have sent to this forum two pictures with two different "lamp" smurf...Do you have both of them?

How can I know if Philips made the minibulb, for two different smurfs?

I saw the smurf with bulb in perpendicular (1st Rachel´s picture) in Passion 2006, and I thought: oooooooooohhhhhh!!!!!Another Philips smurf...But now, watching the pictures, I think the only true is the 2nd, the nr 198 in DSK...

Yesterday someone paid 160 € for this ¿philip smurf?...I think it´s too expensive for a "doubtful" smurf...but perhaps I´m wrong...

Bye, bye from Spain

Hi Joaquín,

I only have the smurf in the 2nd picture.

I also saw the auction for the 1st smurf and this is where I got the picture but I have seen quite a few smurfs holding the bulb this way. I don't know if it was released this way though.
