Great curation of images! I loved the smurfs, too – always made sure to watch when they were on TV.

Thanks, Wibi. My like of them goes back to when one of my brothers collected the figurines in the 80s. He had quite a gathering of them.

Cheers Paul. You could get the figures as free gifts with purchases from the Esso garage. My aunt lived opposite one and used to get them for my younger brother who collected them. He had a fair few in the end.
