[Smurfysmurf]

Thanks to Simon to find this link with pictures of the 2016 smurfs. The theme is Jungle smurfs.

What do you think?

Hi, thanks for posting them here. Definitely makes more sense in the news area.

Their numbers and names:

20776 Dschungel Schlumpfine
20777 Dschungel Papa Schlumpf
20778 Dschungel Schlaubi
20779 Dschungel Schlumpf, erschöpft
20780 Entdecker Schlumpf
20781 Naturbeobachter Schlumpf
20782 Abenteurer Schlumpf
20783 Indianer Schlumpf

My translations: Jungle Smurfette, Jungle Papa, Jungle Brainy, Jungle Smurf Tired, Explorer/Discoverer, Nature Watcher, Adventurer, Indian.

My opinion: The first two smurfs (papa and smurfette) are quite disappointing. The first is like "What should a woman do in the jungle if not putting on make-up" and the papa is just a copy of 2.0760 and 2.0769. The other smurfs are quite great I think (I probably like the one with the two bags most). The last one definitely is a big surprise and will be a great friend for 2.0069 Jungle smurf.

I already like these more than this year's theme.
Hopefully they might release some jungled theme Super Smurfs. Just imagine Papa Smurf wrestling with a tiger!

Any news on what smurfs will be retired?

Not a single one with the traditional white cap, either.

I've found modern smurfs to be more expensive than vintage smurfs, too. Where is the cheapest place to purchase 2015 & 2016 smurfs?

I agree with Simon's comments, but the most disappointing for me is definitely Papa! 3 in a row they use the "same mold" .

I've found some Smurfs half price at a Geman toy shop once, unfortunately I had already gotten them all at that time and didn't bought any. (They were the Olimpic smurfs). The shop was http://duborg-toys.de/ (I was in their physical shop, never used their online one). So depending were you are in the word it might pay off to look around toy shops.

I am not crazy about the theme.
I agree about papa's third reused mold and most of all with the pathetic smurfette : what a modern vision of the woman in the society...
But as always when I will see them in real, I will find them cute.

So they come back with a remake of the original Moonsmurf's "Gnouf", as these are called in Dutch ?
That is one of my youth...

I'll wait till they hit the store in my city

My favourite is the 'swoof' with spear & shield. He's a nice surprise. The others are ok but nothing special. I shall still buy them though
