Hey guys,

I need you all to try remember everything you have heard about the wiwa smurf. I need some help and need to know where it came from, how many were printed, what is wiwa etc.

Any comments would be appreatiated... also any pictures would be appreciated too

[Raresmurf]

no-one knows? that's impossible, this is a community that knows all about smurfs

I've already seen this pic:

Hi Raresmurf, he is rare, expensive and holds a bottle that says Wiwa on it.

Sorry, I really don't know any more info than that.

Unfortunately Schleich didn't keep any decent records of promtional smurfs as far as I am aware so unless someone can actually remember the information (assuming it was ever made public) regarding these smurfs from when they were released it might be difficult to find out.

[Raresmurf]

Thanks Rachel...

Anyone else got any info?

[Fram]

Sorry, I know nothing about this one except that he fetches very very very high prices.

[Raresmurf]

Thanks anyway Fram. The reason I am asking is because I think I just got one...I will keep you posted..

Can we see a pic? Sounds interesting.

I think Wiwa is a German soft drinks company and Wiwa "fit" is I presume a "healthy" version. They all come in different flavours and I presume the Promo one is the orange flavour.

I don't know how many were made but it is one of the rarest smurfs

Hi Karen,

here you go:

Can we see a pic? Sounds interesting.

[Raresmurf]

Not very clear is it...I'll tell you in a week...

[Raresmurf]

well, not sure if it is, but they are very intrigueing....can anyone confirm?

[bundleofkent]

That looks very promising Raresmurf! I have the smurf and it looks very similar. If you have got it in an auction without realising then that is amazing!!

Good luck

Martin

I got it from a private seller that had a few smurfs to sell, I bought the lot for my fiace's neice and noticed this at the last minute. The seller has added another 10 promo smurfs and said that I would have to wait until the smurfs arrive for a surprise....can't wait....

not a bad buy for £35....

I'm not being funny but how would the seller know they were promos and then sell them for that price? Seems a bit weird.

[Raresmurf]

I think their exact words were:

"never been sold in shops...", always sounds weird until you have it in your hands. - I will post photos when the lot comes next week.

I say, "never look a gift horse in the mouth"
