Smurfs
With Miniature Dolls Accessories
Items Being Added To Make "Rare
Promo Smurfs"
There
seems to have been an increase in sales during 2006
of smurfs being sold as rare promotional smurfs or
HTF because they have accessories. The accessories
concerned are in fact produced as miniatures to be
used with dolls houses.
Unfortunately,
it is not always mentioned by the seller that the
smurf being sold is in fact homemade and new collectors
can get confused and sometimes spend a large amount
of money on what they believe to be a rare smurf figure.
Items
such as bottles, cans, packets, pies, cakes, fruit
and vegetables are the types of items being added
to smurfs but there are other items such as furniture,
kitchen accessories and other household goods that
are available. Here is a list of just some of the
accessories that we know about, there are many many
more that we haven't mentioned:
-
Non
Alcoholic Bottles & Cans: Coke Cola, Diet Coke
Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Pepsi, Canada Dry Ginger Ale,
Tonic Water, Soda Water.
- Alcoholic
Bottles: Guiness, Red Wine, White Wine, Champagne,
Campari, Martini, Malibu, Vodka, Tequila, Gin Rum
and more.
- Various
cakes and pies.
- Cereal
packets
- Washing
powders
- Various
foods including cheese, meat, bread.
- Gardening
tools.
Please
remember, these miniature accessories are widely available
for very little money, often only a few pence. The
smurf is normally worthless as it has lost it's original
accessory.
Although
we agree that these look great as display items and
are fun to add to scenes, please remember you don't
need to spend large amounts of money to purchase these
smurfs. You would be far better off purchasing the
dolls house miniature items yourself and recycle any
smurfs that have lost their original items.
If
you do decide to make these smurfs for fun, please
think twice about selling them on though. Even though
you may be an honest seller and state that these smurfs
are indeed homemade creations, another smurf collector
may not be so honest and try to sell the figure on
as a "Rare Fanta Smurf", a "HTF Cola
Bottle Smurf" or the "Prototype All-Bran
Never Seen Before Promo Smurf"!
Have
Fun With Your Smurfy Creations
