Hi, sorry this must be a very common topic around here (!) but after looking at the guide for quite a while, I still can't find some of my Smurfs.
Smurfette is a hollow sort of plastic with a clear plastic thing on the bottom. Reminds me of a game piece or stamper. Same goes for Hefty.
 Different size and different plastic than regular Smurfs. Marked 1981 Mego.
 Now this one is a regular ol' Smurf, but I still had no luck finding him in the database.
Any help would be terrific. Thanks!

Hi Hoppy - Welcome to BlueBuddies!
Your first two Smurfs (Smurfette & Hefty) are from a toy called the Magic Talk Smurfette's House. You put the little figures on the special base... and they talk! This toy came out in the 1980s and was made by Mattel. There are 3 different Magic Talk Smurf Toys (see them all here):
1) Magic Talk Smurf Village 2) Magic Talk Papa Smurf's Lab 3) Magic Talk Smurfette's House

The other little buddy is called Clockwork Smurf and his id# is 2.0175 - Did you know that Clockwork Smurf is the invention of Handy Smurf? Yup, it's true!

I'm not sure about the last little clown. Does he have a little blue tail? The Smurfs are (c) Peyo (based on the Smurf creator Pierre "Peyo" Culliford). Mego is a toy company that first came out in the 1970s. I'm not familiar with any Smurfs made by Mego... but the Mego Figures sure do remind me of Smurfs! It would be a fun addition to a any Smurf Collection... kind of like the Empire "Smurfs".

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for your help Sassette! I knew there was something strange about that clown, can't believe I didn't notice the absence of a Peyo signature and tail. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Hi, Hoppy! Your little clown is delightful, but I really don't think it's a Smurf. It must take part in other kind of collection. ![[Happy Smurf]](graemlins/Happy_Smurf.gif)

I agree. The Mego figure is just a cute clown, not a Smurf.
