DESCRIPTION: SMURF TREE SWING
These were originally designed to be Pen Holders more so than a Playset for smurfs however I think these look too nice to be used for just a pen holder and looks really great in a smurf display scene with houses and other accessories.
I was once told that the Tree Swing without the Green Paint on the Base was actually an Alfred J Kwak item which seemed plausible at the time however I now know this is untrue due to the Peyo � markings which Alfred J Kwak items do not have.
However it's also quite possible that there is another variation out there similiar to these ones which could be what that person was referring to.
If anyone sees one of these without the Peyo � marking then please contact me as that would be interesting to know if they do actually exist.

TREE SWING ON TRAPEZE TREE SWING PEN HOLDER BOX
DESCRIPTION:   TREE SWING ON TRAPEZE
In my opinion this was never a Smurf item authorised by Schleich or IMPS. It is the combination of the Tree Swing Pencil Holder and the Trapeze Super Smurf with the Swing being too wide for the Eyelets on the Trapeze causing the Swing to be pushed out almost to the point of breaking. It just doesn't sit right with me as an authorised item and at this point I choose to believe it was just some creative collectors who came up with the idea to add this themselves even though it does appear every now and then on Ebay.
DESCRIPTION:
Here on the box you can see how this item was intended to be a Pen Holder. I am not aware of any different variation of this box being produced although as with everything involving smurfs.....there's always a possibility.
