Can anyone believe that the Smurfs have been around since 1958? Though they originally appeared in a Belgian comic, most of us in the West know them by the animated cartoon made by Hanna-Barbera, which ran from 1981-1990 on NBC.
To read more on the history of the little blue guys, check out the Wiki here. To celebrate, Play Along has released some TRU-exclusive items: First up is a talking 12" plush of Papa Smurf, Smurfette or regular Smurf. Each one comes with a 22-minute DVD (1 episode) and sound bytes from the cartoon. MSRP is $14.99 each. Also availabe is a limited edition 15" plush Smurf that also includes a single episode DVD, as well as an animation model sketch and a gold PVC figurine. MSRP for the limited edition is $24.99.

I always wondered why there was only like 3 female Smurfs?

I was about to ask 3 then I remembered Smurfette, Sassette(was that the little girl's name) and grandma Smurf. I used to watch them on Saturdays but these days if I hear that theme song I could scream.

Wow I had know idea the smurfs have been around that long. I also didn't know the cartoon lasted that long. I thought it ended somewhere around 1985.

And technically they're non-gender specific (except for Smurfette, et al), but we don't exactly have a "Dolls and Stuffed Animals" forum.
Hey, if you like 'em, so what? I'm tempted to get Papa Smurf myself. Maybe I'll find him during my ongoing search for a Smurfette for my sister (if I can ever find the little bastards. I swear I feel like Gargamel).

Verrrry funny. We need a smiley for hitting with a bat. Dang, I need to dig out my smiley link.
Though to be honest, I still had my original Smurf pvcs up until about 6 months ago when I sold them for way below probably what I should have. May try to find a couple new ones for my Mom who still likes them. Bad having a Mom who still likes Smurfs, Ewoks, etc. Last edited by morgana08; 12-17-2008 at 09:58 PM..
