Here's a pic of one side of one wall in my Smurf room. Mind of hard to see everything, let me tell you what you're looking at...

This room is on the second floor of my Cape home, so the ceiling slant with the roof. At the top-right corner you catch a glimpse of my Smurf ceiling fan :) Love It!! It was originally recalled because they sometimes fell from the ceiling, so it's for show only. When I turn it on it rocks like crazy and I'm scared to death it will fall and decapitate me as I sit below!

The wall we're looking at, I built that shelving all around the window! The cases you see are part of the original Smurf Collectors Club Intl. collection I acquired from Suzanne Lipschitz, founder of the SCCI. They are custom-made acrylic cabinets one foot deel so all the 2" PVC variations can fit inside. I have vintage Smurf curtains in the window, and Melissa made a cusion for the window seat from old Smurf sheets. On my highest shelves you see an old Dupuis figure, Johann plush, Gargamel plush an old windmill, and a silver Pop Rocky Smurf. Below that, to the left of the window is an old farmhouse, some ceramics, pencil toppers and candy toppers. Next level is a newer farmhouse, a bronze Pop Rocky, some cottages, and SCCI case #1. Beneath that are SCCI cases #2 & #3, and an empty box of Smurfberry Crunch cereal (Yum!)

The next row of shelves are blocked by some cardboard and plastic Smurf signs, but in there are some playsets and stuff. Covering my desk in this pic are some more playsets and buildings, including two Astro playsets - one WB, and one very rare Applause. Fafnir the dragon's there too. There is a Smurf Garden Gnome statue peeking over an Astro Playset, in front of the window.

On the left wall and disappearing off the left side of the photo is a wall-mounted plexiglass case with my Smurf-a-Grams, Pencil Sharpeners, Ink Pads and Fakes.

One of these days I'll get more of my collection online. You can also see some at:

Just 2 close-ups of promos, and Supers also in wall-mounted display cases.

OK, let's see some of your collection! I know mine's big, I'm a nut. But don't let that stop you from showing yours, we want to see!! The great majority of collectors don't have this much, I'm just a collectaholic, when I collect something, I collect it to death!!

Did you custom build those shelves just for smurfs?

I love the clear display shelves. I have one on the wall, with other PVC's on it.

Your collection looks great!!

I love the smurfs, and collect alot of them. I have a spare room in my house that is dedicated to my vintage collectable, not just smurfs but all sorts of toys from the early 80's, when i was a kid. But the main them is smurfs. I have the wallpaper on 1 wall, the wall you see as soon as u walk in, than throughout the rest of the wall i have cut outs from the paper all over the place. The bed is done up with smurf comfotor and shhet set, and the windows have smurf curtains and valance. On the floor i have layed down a smurf bedspread as a carpet. All my stuffed animals are on the bed all along the wall of it. All my mini figures are just scattered all around the room on different shelves and racks. I have mini figures, glasess, and plastci cups from mcdonalds, and still continuing my collection throuhg bying stuff off ebay. I don't know how to post pics or i would but take my word when i say the room looks really really neat. Other collectors stuff i have in there are care bears, my little pony, strawberry shortcake, and of corse barbie. Most of my stuff is in mint condition too. I never started out as a collector i was just a kid who never wanted to throw away anything or give it away, than 1 day when i was packing to move out of my parents house into my house i bought i relized how much stuff i had, and decided to look it up on ebay to see how much it was worth and couldn't belive it, so instaed of packing it away in boxes i decided to use the extra room as a collectors room. Everyone who sees it just love sit, and all my friends always say how they wish they would have keept there toys.
