Vintage Toy Restoration – Astro Smurf

BY Dave (Toy Polloi) September 18, 2022 Filed to: Read, Watch, Listen

I picked up this vintage Schleich Astro Smurf at a recent toy fair as I had stupidly sold of my childhood one. He was missing the space helmet as they all seem to be, but I have an idea on what I can use to make a replacement. Let’s see if it works!
