Hi! I'm new here and I used to be a major smurf collector, but I have had them packed away for years. Current financial trouble is forcing me to finally sell them piece by piece online.
I'm having a hard time pricing some of the really rare color variations though. I have an old Der Schlumpf Katalog IV but I am sure those prices no longer apply. For example I have a variation of 20156 Valentine Smurfette, her dress is pink and her bow is yellow. The katalog IV says she is worth 220 euro. But I highly doubt she is still worth that much? This color variation is not mentioned in the checklist here. I have a lot of rare color and mold variations like this but they are so rare I can't find any current prices for them or even mention of their existence outside the Katalog.
I loved collecting variations and I have a lot of them! I spent quite a bit on them in the late 90s/early 2000s! Does anyone have any advice on the value of rare variations like that?
I really appreciate any advice anyone can give! I have been playing around on this site all morning and it has me dangerously close to canceling my plans on selling my figures lol! I am getting the collecting bug all over again!
Thanks for your time everyone, and thanks Papa Smurf for providing such a great place for collectors to congregate!

Hello there, Bloodymelli, welcome!! It's the first time ever I heard of a Valentine Smurfette with a pink dress. But I made a little research on Google and found her on this link. It belongs to Christy's site; she's a Belgian Smurf collector who knows a lot about our dearest blue buddies. ![[Happy Smurf]](graemlins/Happy_Smurf.gif)
Besides her dress and bow (yellow) one can see she's also got pink hearts on her cap. No doubt all of this make her such a rarity! In my opinion the price value is fair. ![[Smurfette]](graemlins/smurfette.gif)
So you have other Smurf color variations, how about posting some pictures of them here?
Oh, and have a Smurfy New Year too! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Yes! That is the same one I have on that link, pink dress, pink hearts, yellow bow. Thank you!
I have a lot of stuff to go through, and I need to take pictures, but I will add some here soon. Thank you again, very much!

Excepting for some models (eg your Valentine Smurfette), I think you'll find variations of your Smurfs here.
I must confess it's the first time ever I see Ice Cream Baby Smurf in pink. He looks smurfingly cute! ![[Enamored Smurf]](graemlins/Enamored_Smurf.gif)
You can find much more about Schleich and non-Schleich Smurf figurines in this page.
And thanks a smurf for sharing your pictures.

Thank you very much for the reply! I have others as well. It seems all of the stranger color combinations usually say Minimodels for the marking, or made in Portugal. I love the baby smurfs too <3.
Thank you again. I will be selling all my items soon. It seems Smurfs are not as collectible as they used to be. I will still always love the little blue men!

You're smurfy welcome. About the value, you can take a look at Smurf Price Guide on the figurine page.
