Did anybody here knows about this smurf..?
If I understood the text correctly, it is a soccer club's called desportiva de mar promo smurf?

I'm sorry the auction already ends in an hour.

Hi Simon, interesting item.

I don't think I have ever seen one like this before, certainly not in any guides. Whether it is genuine or not, I really don't know. Personally, I am always cautious with items like this as it is so easy to just add a figure to a base but to be honest, I just don't know.

Hallo, I've one.
Was made in 1980 for a Portuguese fishing club, located in Infesta, near Porto, if I am correct.
I checked also the date which is written on the label on base: it was a Sunday, ideal for fihising!
The fishing happening was sponsorized by Maia & Borges, toy industry in Portugal, which produced smurfs too.
2 years later another promo was released, a tennis smurf with a flag in hand, always with writings.
Hope to have been useful.

This was very usefull max! It's always nice to find out about new promos (ok it's an old one but I never knew about it before, so it's new to me)

Hi Max, Thanks for the information.

Like I said, having not seen one I had no idea but to hear you also have one with the relevant details is great to hear. Very useful to know.

I have never heard of these either so it was interesting to read Max, well I still need to Get Smart on all of the promos out there cos I am still a phoney shoe-in as a chief expert I guess.

Good thinking nighty-night

PS - Sobriety does this to me, I do apologise for the kaos

Looked like a nice smurf

It's a shame he doesn't accept Paypal cause he often has nice things go at a good price, but I've found him very pleasant to buy from in the past

hi! I fully agree with what you said!

also nice to know there are two promo smurfs we can all hunt for!

I have a pic of the two promos. If someone tells me how to reduce the size, I attach it. So everybody can have an idea about what they look like.
It wights 350 kb.
Thanks!

Hi Max, either post the pic as it is and I will make it smaller or do you have any photo editing software. I always use Paint Shop Pro so I am not sure the easiest way to make them smaller using Windows.

Hi Max, that is a lovely picture of two wonderful smurfs. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I have never seen these two before so I am glad to have learnt something new this weekend.

They are excellent! It looks like the club perhaps made them themselves but who cares. I like them a lot.

I suppose it's like the Commerzbank ice hockey player - not sanctioned by Commerzbank but a great promo anyway. I'd love one of those myself being a bank employee. Fat chance though

Since a lot of years I've a dilemma: someone told me that the original Commerzbank promos sould have white mold.
But I have never seen one white molded.
Usually they have light yellow mold, white painted..........

What do you think?
Max

I must admit I've never seen one in the flesh / PVC so I can't help there. I've only seen photos of them. I'd love to have one though. After working for Commerzbank for 12 years I feel as though I've earnt one

Hi Max

I agree Max, the commerzbank i have seen are all from a yellow rholing with white paint.
Never seen a white rholing, i was thinking the same as you in the beginning.
But now i am sure.
