I’ve got myself a new toy!! And this time it does not need batteries and it was free!. It is a 20cm-tall blank smurf (o pitufo) that I plan to paint in colorss. I have found plenty of cool information on forum.kidrobot.com about materials (the not free part) and techniques for painting vynil toys, something I have toyed about before. Soon I have my customised smurf.
This cute little smurf is part of the “happy smurfday” campaign. UNICEF is celebrating the 50th anniversary of smurfs in Europe, and in Helsinki the have recently gave away thousands of smurfs for people to paint, there is even a competition, check the webpage.
My plan is to have a small mini me ( o mini-yo). I still accept suggestions, but note that I have already discarded super-smurf.
