Hi all i got this sockel cheap on ebay a little while ago i supose because his heart is a little chewed. i had him sent to me snail mail and he arived on valentines day, so i thought that was very apropriate. I noticed just befor i went to bed the other day that he looked a bit odd i dont know how i missed it befor but i looked again and to my surprise he hasnt got any pupils or mouth or painted eyebrows. has anyone else got one like this or could it be a painting error??



Smurfy regards, steve.

P.S yes look out sockel fans this is going to be my secondery collection iv just started i have got only 4 at the mo Anyone got any spair??

P.P.S What do you class a sockel as? I mean dos sockel mean a smurf on a stand/plinth? I hope all you socel experts can give me some advice on collecting these and what to look out for?

That's one that I don't have Steve

What a perfect day for him to arrive too...watch out you may start getting the sockel addiction.

Nice pic too with all of the other blue guys in the background

I'm supposed to be getting an american sockel soon( the ubiquitous flower and gift smurf) with "Happy mother's day" I'd prefer to do a trade if poss... the condition appears to be good from what the seller says(couldn't tell exactly on the auction) but I'll hopefully post a pic if/when(!) he arrives!!

Great to see a picture of him Steve.

Very nice indeed.

I am also looking to pick up a few more sockels as I haven't really ever actively looked for them so far. They are a very interesting aspect to the hobby but I am always wary as I don't know too much about them and from what I understand, there are quite a few fakes out there.

watch out you may start getting the sockel addiction.

I'm afraid it's too late for that now, they have become my new craze
I saw this one and did'nt take any notice of his definitions being unpainted untill he arrived. he was a good bargain for only a couple of dollars too
I did'nt take much notice of the sockels at passion last year but this time i definately will

Smurfy regards
Steve
