McDonalds Smurfs 2011 Plastic vs Plush
As you would expect all Smurfs wear the classic white hat except for Papa Smurf whose hat is red in both the plastic and plush versions.Facial details are good on the plastic Smurfs. There is no articulation beyond the fixed poses. Paint work chips with play wear on the plastic Smurfs.

Each of the plastic McDonald's Smurf toys has a fun gimmick which is kind of cool eg Hefty lifts some dumbells and Singing Harmony plays the guitar. The plastic Smurfs McDonalds toys look good on display and stand without aid which is a plus for collectors.
Several of the plastic Smurfs come with accessories such as Papa Smurf and the detachable cauldron (Asia, Australia, Brazil, Mexico sets) and Smurfette with her pink comb (Asia, Australia, Brazil, Mexico sets). Make sure if you are buying pre-loved plastic Smurfs 2011 toys that they come with their correct accessories.
Plush Smurfs were mostly released in Europe in 2011. The plush Smurfs come with a loop that allows them to be attached to a variety of objects.
