hi!

I just got two sets of these smurfette key chains still on the original

cardboard. this cute? slash! ugly smurfette key chain

also comes as a single figure

and of course is a fake..

these I was shocked to learn are from Bavaria! which is written on the package.

hi!

here is a display card with a male smurf key chain

also fakes but they are very similar to the smurfette ones

even the same kind of hard plastic. but...! these are from Romania!

I wonder if the maker moved???

I had these for over two years now and its nice to find the smurfettes

above!



also a single fake key chain smurf from ?

[Rachel]

WOW Attom, those cards full of keyrings look fabulous. To find them intact like this is wonderful.

Really interesting that the smurfettes and smurfs actually come from different countries, mad one. It is interesting to see the writing is in English for the smurfs made in Romania, I wonder where they were intending to sell these?

I LOVE that single fake smurf as well, I think he has the largest smurf hands I have ever seen.

[Syd Smurf]

They are big hands aren't they?

I've wondered where these come from before. I have a few of these and had no idea what they were called o what they were....I remember asking Rach what they were called when I first started the site as I had no idea what they were besides knowing they were fakes.

Any ideas on what we should call them Attom?

Other than that these look fantastic especially with the original cardboard they are hanging from...I bet there aren't too many still intact like that.....very nice Attom.

that is a hard one! dyar! hmm///? how about Bavarian blues?

I remember you getting one of these key chain guys..

I know it sounds odd..but I had a heck of a time finding even a single one.

the Bavarian ones have a odd display package..as no smurf on there.

and its also in english


Thanks also Rachel!

I can;t wait to get these on my web site.. but need expand it first.

hi! Rachel

I just had a thought.. maybe that key chain smurf with the big hands

is a fake of the Dupuis smurfs.. as I havn;t seen fakes of them yet..

[Guest]

You always find such interesting items, Attom. I don't know how you do it!

hi Karen!

thanks! I guess I keep my nose close to the ground and check out

everything I see! until off course I wack into a wall! but

I do go thru hundreds of smurf listings day after day.. phew!

no tv for me.. so its fun to search

I even eat dinner while I browse sometimes!

Hi Attom, do you know I had the exact same thought after posting yesterday. I was trying to think which smurf they were trying to model from and the Dupuis smurfs sprung to mind. Maybe.........

[attombomb7]

hi Rachel!

I do think you are right on that !

[attombomb7]

hi!

I just bought another display card with lots of green fake key chain smurfs

also made in Bavaria!

[Syd Smurf]

Excellent Attom...I like these. I actually have one of those green smurfs in my collection although I didn't know what to call them so I just put them in the fake section. I think it's handy to know they are from Bavaria....as I knew nothing about them at all besides they were fakes.

hi Dyar!

I agree

its always nice to be able to give a bit of info on something that has to do
with smurfs..

I have seen the green one you mentioned before on your site, which looks greater and greater by the way!

, and now we know its a Bavarian one which is more then I ever knew,

it looks like a dollar store item, or cheaply made but more professionally then I originally thought! I always thought these were homemade like fakes, now I know they weren't.
the card they are on is too professional.

[Rachel]

HI Attom, great to see that you have more of these fake smurfs still on their card and great to know a bit more about them and where they are from.
