Some exciting new features have been added to BlueBuddies.com:
1) Smurf Figurines - brand new pictures! An expanded and comprehensive section covering every aspect of every Smurf figurine. No detail is left unexplored as we catalog each Smurf (along with its variations) in the largest Smurf PVC collection ever amassed on the internet. Links to the new sections are available on our Smurf Figurines page.
2) Rarity Guide. The Five Smurfberry Rarity Guide shows how rare each Smurf figurine is - on a scale from 1 to 5. This exclusive rating system, shown on each figurine, is available only on BlueBuddies.com!
3) Multiple Picture Slideshow. Where appropriate (like the Regular Smurfs section), a slideshow appears to showcase multiple pictures. It's a great way to show figurine variations.
4) Smurf Price Guide. You've asked for it, and here it is! BlueBuddies.com is proud to announce the full-featured, Smurf ID and Price Guide. Various sections of the site (like Regular Smurfs or Super Smurfs) now have accurate and complete price guides. Feel free to print these out! Curious? Check out our Regular Smurfs Price Guide to begin! Login to see all the Smurf variations.
5) Customized Smurf Checklists. Quite an amazing feature. Login (or first Register) and the Price Guides expand to allow you to create your own personal Smurf checklists. Simply check off the Smurfs you have, leave notes to yourself about each Smurf, and keep track of your collection. You can access your private Checklist from anywhere in the world!
Here are a list of the current Smurf Checklists:
6) Publicize your lists. Wow! You can share your lists and tell others exactly what Smurfs you're looking for. Share your Checklist with your friends (or the world!). Viewers can look at - but not change - your lists, and can read the notes you left about each figurine as a Post-It note. Checklists are particularly useful to share with others - your friends see a complete list of just what you're looking for or what you have. Expanding your collection has never been easier!
I am personally very proud of these additions. I hope everyone enjoys them!

Hi,
I like those checklists too, and the completeness for different versions, but I was wondering about those goldcord Christmas smurfs: some of them that I've seen do not have a gold cord, nor ring, nor does it seem like there had ever been a ring. Are those cordless, ringless smurfs fakes?

I am curious as to where these values are coming from because you recommend in another area to shop for smurfs on ebay. Yet the rarest smurfs (according to this site) that should be worth hundreds of dollars are available on ebay for three bucks. Granted, I'm not a smurf collector anymore, I did collect when I was a child. I would like to sell my collection to someone that would enjoy having it, but it is hard to figure out what a fair value is. Can you provide any insight? I advertised on your boards that I have some of these "very rare" smurfs but noone has contacted me yet, so are they really that rare and are smurfs in general that sought after? Thanks for your assistance, I'm just trying to learn.

Hi MarcyB,
Welcome to BlueBuddies!
A price guide is just that... a guide to understand value. At the end of the day, any item is only worth as much as a person is willing to pay for it. And it only takes one person to buy an item. In a booming market, there are plenty of people interested - items sell quickly and for more than the "average" price. In a depressed market, it may be harder to find a single buyer - things may take longer to sell and sellers may resort to lowering prices. Every market has its ups and downs. Many things can influence the market - like the the economy, the time of year, trends etc... A "fair value" for a Smurf will be what a seller and buyer can agree upon!
The rarity of the Smurf figure doesn't change. A rare Smurf will always be worth more than a common Smurf. Are there exceptions? Of course! You could go to a garage sale and buy a box full of Smurfs for $5.00. Inside that box could be the rareset Smurfs out there. (You could then turn around and sell them for a fortune!) Conversely, you can go on ebay and see two individuals in a bidding war over a common Smurf and therefore driving the price up. Why? Because they both want that Smurf at the same point in time and are willing to pay more to get it!
Sometimes a Smurf will sell for more and sometimes less than the guide price - but it's a great starting point! It is also VERY helpful in determining the rarity of your Smurfs.
For example, the Smurf Price Guide lists the "rare" 2.0214 Baby Smurf with Blocks (the pastel blocks version) for $60.00 and just yesterday this Smurf sold on eBay for $66.00.
You might also consider selling your Smurfs on eBay - this link may be helpful!
Good luck with your sale!

PS - Please give me the link for the Smurfs "worth hundreds of dollars" selling on eBay for $3.00! I'd love to add it to my collection! I know you can find some great deals on eBay, but I've never been that lucky!!!

Hello and thank you for a great website,
I have used it often to keep track of my collection.
However now i seem to have a problem when i want to add a smurf to my checklist.
I find the smurf using the search, then i tick the box, click update - the page refreshes, but when i later go to look in my checklist the smurf is still unchecked.
I have tried with different browsers, but the result is always the same.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, Papa Smurf, I hope you're smurfing well!
I think I got the same problem: recently I acquired some Smurfs and I wished to add them to my checklist as usual, but it hasn't worked as well.
Thanks for your attention since now.

Hello, Papa Smurf! How are you doing?
You once asked me if I had a Hering Smurf original package and unluckily I hadn't, as well I hadn't seen any pic of it then. But now I'd like to tell you that I finally found a picture with a Hering Smurf for sale in his original package, showing the photo and details that I described: Papa, Lover, Signbearer ("Nós somos os Hering Smurfs" - "We are the Hering Smurfs") and Spy. Here we are:
I hope this helps!

I'm the one that must thank you, Papa Smurf, for the great new stuff on the wooden houses. I'd just like to remind you that neither Lover (#20044) nor Signbearer (#40208) were never launched in Brazilian market (sorry, I forgot to mention this before)*. As they feature in this photo package, it's the only thing I can't understand so far. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
* By the way, Super Smurfs were never launched in Brazil, it's a pity. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

I'll send some pictures of two Hering Smurfs I found last year in a street bazaar (Hang Glider and Telephone) with their respective marks. You can add them if you find necessary, too.

Hello, I have a collection of Smurfs that I am looking to sell so have been creating a checklist to get an idea of costing. However I have two Smurf figurines that I cannot find on the lists. Their stamps on their feet indicate that they are legitimate figurines - is it possible that this isn't a complete list?
