Blue Cavern

I received some smurfs from Argentina last week and one of them was the Secretary Smurfette. I thought I would post some pictures because I haven't found pictures of her anywhere else, and she is one of those awkward ones where you can't always be sure where she is from because she has no markings and does not have the tail showing. The only giveaway signs are the loud clonk she makes when you put her on a hard surface (the mini models are much harder than Schleich smurfs) and the fact that she came direct from Argentina. You will see from the picture that the pencil is also different to those pictured in the DSK. I thought she had the pencil the wrong way round to begin with but it doesn't seem to sit any other way.

She looks to be in great condition. Will you keep her in your collection or sell her?

how tall are those "mini models"?

They are the same size as normal smurfs. I am not sure what I will do with this one yet, she is very cute.

oho, same size?? I can see that it is difficult to tell them apart....

hi Karen

she looks lovely! I like this version

Another one Karen....I didn't know this one was available by Minimodels and it may be quite a hard one to find...who knows.

Nice to see a pic and be informed it exists....I do love the Minimodels Smurfs but I have no idea how many there are all up.....there seems to be heaps of them.

Dyar

hi!

I also have no idea how many there are, Its another thing that would be

nice to document fully

Argentina Minimodels are becoming usual at ebay...I think it would be interesting to make a list so we can know how many of them there are...

BYE

Hi Joaquin

I am not sure any one knows how many there are and some people are starting to think they are still being made ......something doesn't feel right about them continuosly appearing....but I don't know enough to know why that is the case.

Dyar

I don´t know if minimodels are still being made...It´s possible...Some minimodels are differnt in colours than Schleich ones, so they are very nice to have in our collections...I have discovered them recently, and waiting for a lot of them as a Chrismas present...The secretay of the image is one of my favourites....Lét´s hope I can find it when I open the parcel...

I agree, it would be very interesting to try and make a list of all known Minimodels as I have no idea how many there are.

I really don't know if they are still being made, I know some of the ones I have are old and have definitely not been made recently. I hope the Minimodels aren't still being made and that the reason there are suddenly many around are purely because they have only recently been really discovered. A few years ago, there was no mention of them so I am guessing that now collectors know about them, they are being looked for. Same goes for the Brazil smurfs.

The internet has completely changed the hobby of the last few years and there have been so many discoveries of unheard of markings etc. and with collectors from all over the world communicating so much more now I am guessing there might be a few more suprises before we are done........

Joaquin, when I have a minute, I will try and make a list of mine. I don't have that many but it will be a start.

I will do the same, but I will wait until I receive some of them next week...Each one of us can be adding yours and we can have a light idea of the amount of them there are over there...

Wow you have the Angry Attom......um, that doesn't sound right does it?

I mean...wow Attom, you have the Angry one as well. I have never seen this one and didn't know it existed. I will have to look out for one as I love the black smurf.

Is it the smaller or larger (with arms spread out) version of the Angry?

Dyar

Hi Andrew,
The black one isn't the black one we know. It's nr 2.0157 instaid of the blue he's black.
It really looks funny.
