Armed with the Razer Orochi V2, Orochi V2 custom top shell, and the Gigantus V2 in three different sizes, this eternally young collection celebrates the 65th anniversary of Peyo's iconic and beloved blue characters. Squad up with classic characters, like the adventurous Smurfette, to snatch the win out from the grasp of the evil Gargamel. Are you ready to Smurf?




CELEBRATING 65 YEARS OF SMURFINESS!
On the 23rd of October 1958, the Smurfs have appeared for the first time in an adventure of Johan and Peewit - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute - published in the Belgian comics magazine Spirou.

From then and over the years, Peyo built an entire fantasy world, filled with blue cuteness, mushroom houses, good universal values, and a unique Smurfs' language. The mix of nature and magics really brought something new into children's entertainment at the time. The long-lasting comic books, the television success and an iconic merchandising program turned the Smurfs into a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon, creating strong links of smurfiness with generations of kids.

For some reason this feels obscene. I don't like the Smurfs.

 

[alphaLONE]

razer and smurf fanbases feel like they wouldn't overlap... i assume they've done their market research, so this surprises me

For some reason this feels obscene. I don't like the Smurfs.

But they are only 3 apples tall bro

 

[P4-630]

I need a Scrooge McDuck mouse....

 

[trsttte]

This feels like a weird tangent for razer, their branding usually goes after the hardcore gamer or cringe kitty stuff, I dind't think cute infantile characters were on their wheelhouse

Well, anyway...

 

[Lost_Wanderer]

Wait it's not April 1st... this is a thing that is happening.



Is it too late to take the other pill? This rabbit hole has smurfs.

 

[natr0n]

This pairing doesnt seem right.

 

[seronx]

I bet this can improve my kill death ratio.

 

[nomdeplume]

This must be one of those days you honestly question what purpose you have as a contributor of... hold that thought a minute.

But they are only 3 apples tall bro

I think everyone but @T0@st missed the story here. Along with the shameless promotional tie in right before Christmas working the kiddy/grandma angle.

Right then, a contributor of front page humor disguised as actual tech interest when nobody gets why it was funny. @Frick at least got in early to announce something wholly distasteful was lurking.

 

[freeagent]

Not once did I ever claim to be smart, good thing too

 

[cellar door]

Missed CSGO/CS2 crossover collab opportunity.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

positively Smurfy-licious.

A Keycap set would have been enough but this crosses the line into WTF.

Missed CSGO/CS2 crossover collab opportunity.

That colab happened long time ago but with SteelSeries-

I love Smurfs, they taste quite good. But they stick to the teeth like cement. Obscene you say? Watch this:

(spotted the "Subliminal Advertising"?)

Obscene?? Strange, certainly. But Obscene?

But they are only 3 apples tall bro

Not even that. Smurfs are only about 4 inches tall.

 

[Tomgang]

Wait, this is not a joke?

Whats next then, my little pony or hello Kitty theme


I think i will pass on this kidz toys.

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Random cash grab is random.

 

[lexluthermiester]

This pairing doesnt seem right.

Right there with you..

Random cash grab is random.

Normally, I would agree here, but it does seem like some careful thought went into this.

 

[BlaezaLite]

My Mum used to love the Smurfs, so I think this is awesome.

Now, if they brought out Thundercats stuff, Eye of Thundara, give me sight beyond sight!

 

[Random_User]

Smurfs? Is this a collab for upcoming Space Marine 2?

LOL

 

[sepheronx]

Smurfs are still a thing?

Only 1 female smurf in the whole pack too.

 

[bonehead123]

so this surprises me

When it comes to Razzero, NUTHIN, and I mean absolutely NUTHIN, surprises me !

I dind't think cute infantile characters were on their wheelhouse

If they think they can make a buck with it, regardless of what the "it" is, it will ALWAYS be in their wheelhouse....

Now I think da Smurfs are cute and all, but do I want them on or anywhere near my keyboard or computer ?

Nope..
Notta....
No way, 'Jose

I love Smurfs, they taste quite good. But they stick to the teeth like cement.

Smurfberry Crunch was abrasive enough to polish cement.

Nah, that's "un-hip" 90's stuff. Need to go with the new hot s**t.

Smurfberry Crunch was abrasive enough to polish cement.

"... nutritious breakfast." The good old times, lol.
