He was so unusual that I had to buy him. No idea what the markings are .. and can’t find any picture online that matches. The seller said it was made in Hong Kong. If anyone has any insight I’d love to hear it! I haven’t received him yet but he is being shipped and I’m excited …even if it is a fake lol

It says Hong Kong so I'm pretty sure that's legit! I have seen the eyes painted like that before.
This is the regular Papa:

Thanks for the reply!! I can’t find any photo online matching. I’ll add some photos when he arrives and hopefully that gives some clues to if it’s real or fake. Very exciting !!

Your Papa is adorable! The hand painting always makes each Smurf unique and yours has that extra cuteness!!
Papa was the very first Smurf from the Schleich figurines, hence his ID # 20001, so he is great to have in your Smurf collection. It'll be a smurfy day for you when he arrives in the mail!
-------------------- Have a smurfy day!

Yay he arrived - and it’s REAL !!! I’m in shock right now , I really expected him to be a fake because of the brownish color , but he does look at little more red on a black background. But it’s really a brown lol. Adding a few photo... oops it seems to only letting me add one photo .
