Hi Attom

Not sure if these are real or not but I would like a real one. Maybe we all should put the cash in and get some and then sell off the spares.

This smurf has been discussed a few times before on Pete's board. The conclusion always reached is that it is a fake. The green sticks come from another Bully figure.



Here is a picture from Ösi-Schlumpf's Homepage which is a great resource for fake smurfs. Here is a rough translation of what he says:

"Also an example of an accessory combination at present with Ebay their nuisance floats (uncovered of colleague Karmaik): the itinerant tradesman with the green staff. The staff comes from the Kater Tom or this IDA Bohatta bear of Bully. Sowas is usually "Flohmarktfund" under the title; sold."

I seem to remember that these smurfs with a green stick only appeared for the first time in the 2003 KMS catalogue, if anyone can confirm this much appreciated.

Hi Rachel

I just looked in the 2000/01 KMS Schlumpfe book and it only featured the long and short orange versions. I didn't know there was a 2003 version of this book available. What's on the cover on the 2003 edition so I can keep a look out.

PS - Here is the photo of the book I have (in between Frank Oswald's katalog).....this is the KMS series that you were talking about isn't it?

[Rachel]

Hi Dyar, Thanks for confirming that it isn't shown the the 2000/2001 KMS catalogue.

Yes there is a newer version. It was noted at the time of it's release that many "new variations" suddenly appeared in it.

[Syd Smurf]

Thanks Rachel...I have seen that one but it didn't register that it was a new one for some reason. Okay so I will have to keep an eye out for that one too.

Thanks again

As the saying goes:

They are like buses, you don't see any for a while and then suddenly.....

Here are some more green stick traveller auctions!

hi..I never knew they were fakes.. but I do have a cute little bully

Jerry figure ( from Tom & Jerry) who has a yellow bag..

just like the rare yellow version of the wanderer! its the same as the green and red bags.

Attom

Hi Attom, well the auction just finished at quite a hefty price. There will no doubt be a flood of these on Ebay for a while as they are sold off seperately.

IMHO I don't believe these were ever released together ie. traveller smurf and green stick. I agree it would be great to have one in your collection for the diversity BUT I don't think they should be sold as "test" or "rare" variations for silly high prices. If I was you I would have taken the yellow bag from poor old Jerry and hey presto, a VERY rare smurf.

[attombomb7]

hi Rachel!

I agree with you about those green wanderer's flooding the market..

I bet they may even be cheap?/ to bad cause I bought a green one last year not knowing it was a fake..but then I collect fakes so now it'll be in my fake collection instead! hehehehhe!

and I may just post the rarest wanderer of them all the very very rare

Yellow stick wanderer..

Attom

[Syd Smurf]

I'll take one for cheap

[XoioX2000]

Thank you so much for all the info about the green and yellow wanderer...

I was really wondering about the green one in particular as only a couple of guys seem to sell it in eBay

Cheers,

I finally won a Green Traveler last night (for 6 Euro) in a dutch auction where 5 were available. It seems they will be quite common for a little while after that big auction at the top of this thread. Now if I can just get a yellow and a red one like you have Attom then I will be happy....for the moment.

Dyar

PS - Hi David...just thought I would say hello as I haven't done so yet

[attombomb7]

great Dyar that you finally got one!! have you got the yellow traveller yet???



and hi DAVID!! you seem to have a awesome collections too!


Attom

[Syd Smurf]

Hi Attom

No red or yellow travelers yet. I would love one though so I will keep my eyes stapled to my forehead with no sleep until I find one.......or maybe sticky tape....staples sounds like it might hurt a bit.......actually sticky tape might be ouchy too.....maybe blue tac is the way to go.
