Hidden in the Woods Smurf Collection

Argentinia Minimodels

Argentina MiniModels are official Schleich smurfs that were never mass produced. They have about the
same size as the mass produced smurfs. The name Minimodels comes from the their maker. Since the quality
mass produce them.
The material is harder than the normal smurfs, and the paintjob is not as good as that of the official smurfs.
Minimodels are usually easy to recognize by their tail which only has the tip painted blue
Their marking is usually also different. However, there are also Minimodels that have no markings, which
makes recognizing them so much more interesting....or difficult, which ever way you like to look at it lol..and
if you aren't confused enough now...there is one more marking (Schleich, Peyo)

The easiest way to this
marking
Peyo, Schleich,
MiniModels, Industria
Argentinia and a heartlike
symbol

This is a repainted MiniModel.
Years ago, an Argentinian collector and
football/soccer fan bought an old stock of
this smurf from the MiniModel series and
repainted them in blue/yellow. These are the
colors of one of the best known Argentinian
soccer clubs "Boca Juniors".

Thank you Joaquin, for this special smurf and
the story behind it
