When the UK petrol station chain "National" gave these little blue critters away in the 70's my brother and I amassed the fair sized collection shown below. It also helped that our mum lived in France where "schtroumpfs" were sold in real shops too.
Although I am no longer an avid collector of the blue ones they still hold a place in my heart.
BatSmurf and Robin aren't available in the shops. I repainted them myself using water based acrylic paints from The Games Workshop. They were inspired by the custom hand painted smurfs on Jenifer's Smurfy Smurf Site.
Some beer smurfs - see Oesi Smurfs for more homemade smurfiness:
Here are the smurfs that stood upon our wedding cake:
Some smurf humour:
Smurf: Schlumpf, Pitufo, Schtroumpf, Smyrffs, Puffi, Estrumpfe, Smurfen.
