Smurfed from the source
Well, not exactly the source. Smurfs are from Belgium, but these came from the Netherlands, although, maybe they were made in Belgium, at least the ceramic mug was made in Europe. I can’t imagine a PVC Smurf figure for even a European McDonalds would be made anywhere other than China. I got these both as separate purchases from the same seller, who was kind enough to put the figure in the mug and refund the extra shipping charge. $5 is a surfing excellent deal for shipping both of these from the Netherlands.
The PVC McDonalds Smurf figure on a skateboard, released in the Netherlands in 1998.
This ceramic mug (made in Europe) dates back to 1990. There’s a total of three Smurfs riding skateboards, including Smurfette.
Skate like a (blue) girl.
The PVC Smurfs were and are still made by a German company called Schleich (they made the first one in 1965) in China, but also in Germany and Portugal.
Netherlands? Pffft …
I picked up both of these recently and posted about the mug. I have yet to post about the Happy Meal dude. I got a couple other skating smurfs waiting to be posted.
Possibly that collection of Smurfs on leaf skateboards?
