Hello fellow Smurfs. I was wondering if someone could pleses help me!!!! I have lots of Smurfs from my childhood! I found a plastic Smurf puppet that is on a yellow stand. It is about 4 inches high and you make it move by pushing on the bottom. Its hands move and it bends forwards and backwards. Is made by Helm. On the bottom it says British Patent and it was made in Hong Kong. I don't have a picture of it yet. I haven't found anything like it on E bay. Or any other sites. If anyone can help me I would REALLY appericate it! ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Hi SmurfOff,
Welcome to Bluebuddies!
That's really neat that you still have your Smurfs from childhood.
Back in the 1980's, Helm Toys made several Smurf toys including the plastic push-puppet you speak of. The bases came in either red, blue or yellow. When you push the base, the smurf dances and wiggles - sooo cute!
Smurf Push-Puppet
In addition to the Smurf Puppet, there is a Smurfette puppet, Papa Smurf puppet and even a Gargamel puppet!
Helm Toys also made the Smurf Trapeze and the Smurf Cycle - they are from the same series as the Smurf Puppet.
I hope this helps!

As for the values... I would estimate the Smurf Puppet at around $15-20. On ebay you will find them listed for anywhere between $5 - 40!!!
The toys still in the original package are obviously worth more (although you can't make him dance when he's in the package! lol!) The Gargamel and Smurfette versions are also worth more than the Smurf simply becasue they are harder to find.
Happy Smurfing,
Sassette
PS - I really like the Smurf Puppet toy because I love to see him boogie!
