Help For the Holidays #7: A True Blue Friend

La-LA-la-la-la-la, LA-la-la-la-la…

Ah yes. It’s time to revisit the little blue people that stand just three apples tall…

The Smurfs.

We know them best from the classic 80s cartoon series; but it was actually 50 years ago that Belgian cartoonist Peyo introduced the characters in a series of comic strips.

And this year, JAKKS is celebrating that with a Smurfs 50th Anniversary Special Edition Plush.

The 12” Smurf says smurfy phrases when you squeeze his hand and it comes with an early Smurfs sketch and a special anniversary figure.

But the real bonus here is that the plush comes with a DVD of my favorite “Smurfs” episode of all time—“The Smurfette.” If you don’t remember, the episode shows how Gargamel created Smurfette to destroy the Smurfs.

All children of the 80s who loved the little blue guys and gal—and you know that you did—should have this special collectors’ item.

The Smurfs 50th Anniversary Special Edition Plush (SRP $14.99) is available now…

Have a smurfy day! La-LA-la-la-la-la…
