Today I got my second Hangglider Hering, Made in Brazil color variation

One has a darker blue color and dull yellow color. The other one has a normal blue and shiny yellow color..

No Tine, you can't going saying there are variations, I don't even have one Brazil smurf yet!

Congratultions on the find.

Brazil Smurfs? I didn't get know there were smurfs made in Brazil

Does anyone know anything about Brazil smurfs? Are they real smurfs or fakes? When were they made? Which smurfs did they make?

Oh I love smurf collecting, always so many questions

Hi Helen, I am afraid I don't know much about them as I don't actually have one yet. They seem to have appeared fairly recently and don't appear in the German katalogs, I would say this is due to the different Ebays around the world starting.

Sorry, I don't know if they were licensed or not but like you, love new discoveries and would love to know more about these.

Tine has quite a collection of them and made a list of the ones she has ....I only have the Papa one in a pretty bad condition, but I love him anyway... Here is some
information about them, I think

[Pitufo]

They are licensed smurfs...It is the same with Argentina minimodels...They both have the markings Schleich, and Peyo C...

There are another type of "fake" smurfs with markings Peyo OR, BY NOREL...I am not sure if they really are licensed smurfs...Does anyone know something about these ones???

[Guest]

That is a great find Tine, well done

[Simon X]

Tine, you're crazy...Everone here wishes to own just one of these Hering smurfs and you have variations of them...

I own the sign holder smurf (without sign or hole in his hand) with the NOREL marking and he is a mexican smurf. Attom once wrote something about them...

all I found out from the seller is that a company named Norel
produced several smurfs in mexico, I have since found some others
but I assume from the quality, etc they were never licenced

Cool, very interesting, thanks for the links.

My thoughts exactly Rach

@syd.... My originally thoughts were.... "he.. wow... there is a Hering smurf and nobody bid for that one. I can easily replace my badly marked Hering with that one". And then I got this one and it is a color variation. So my dear Dyar ...I'm still trying get some Herings for you... but not this time...

[smurfieduck]

Thanks to everyone for contributing to this thread - it has enabled me to learn a great deal as I had never heard of these smurfs before.

[Syd Smurf]

Thank you Cheesy.....it's nice to know you are helping me to find these still. They are one of the things I want the most at the moment so if you do find any then just let me know and I will be the happiest Dyar in the universe.
