Hidden in the Woods smurf collection

These smurfs should not be confused with Argentinia Minimodels, which are offically licensed smurfs.
Argentinia Fakes are off poor quality and paint jobs, but are very interesting looking and belong to the rarer,
and harder to find fakes.
They have no markings and are made out of a rubbery, soft PVC

Many different kind of fakes are coming out of Mexico.
There are the "Jello" like raw smurfs, that look nearly good enough to eat.
Then there are also smurfs made out of a very hard, cheap PVC, with such a bad paint job, that it often comes
off, making the smurfs look like raws.
Also out of Mexico are coming "Norel" smurfs that wear the markings on the back of their caps.
Nobody should forget the "normal" looking fakes, that I would not know are Mexican fakes, if I had not
bought them from a Mexican seller.
Confusion complete?
Here are my few Mexican fakes, I hope the pictures will explain it much better
All of them (except the Norel) have no markings
