We are certainly in a Smurf frenzy right now... I have not yet seen the movie but even the fact that there is one brings out a lot of my childhood memories when I was waking up early in the morning just to watch crazy adventures of Smurfs.

Seems my mother felt my sentimentality since she surprised me with a small gift - a Smurfette figurine.

This figure is quite small around 5 cm, well what more do you need from a Smurf? It is quite cute looking, as a Smurf should, well from a far...

However, since I am quite familiar with Schleich products I do have to say that detail here is a bit weak, I mean you can't exactly do allot with a carton/movie character of this proportion but still. It is hand painted but not to such detail as the rest of their products, it looks like it is made in a hurry, facial colouring does not match the facial mould - especially the lips they are off for quite a bit... There is not so much detail on moulding compared to other products either.

I also did not like how the CE mark (and other information) is found on the hat, far from discrete and it personally bothers me.

It is probably good for children - they probably would not mind these cosmetic mistakes, and to be honest I do like mine - maybe more because of the fact that it was a gift from my mother than anything else though.

As for as kids go, I would say it is appropriate for them, it is not dangerous and there are no small parts that they could eat or inhale.

For adults as a collector item, I think this is far from one!
