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.

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.

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.
