Collectors easily recognize them because of the bad quality and incorrect paint jobs, however, for new
collectors they were cause for a lot of confusion. Please click here for detailed pictures of the differences

Easter Smurfs
These came out several years before the others appeared and are still causing a lot of confusion among
collectors.
The easiest way to recognized the fakes is by the size (they are smaller than the genuine ones) and that they
are made out of two pieces whereas the original ones are made out of one piece. The problem is that the
differences are hardly recognizable on pictures.
