Timely Smurf Abandonment!

Spotted in the Slope on 6th Street and 5th Ave:

Whaaaaaa?  No Gargamel?

Just in time for the new Smurfs movie!  I wonder if the former owners were waiting for the film (and I use that term loosely) to come out before attempting to give away their neglected 1980s cartoon merchandise?

In any event, I was almost impressed with this stoop's presentation - however, some additional care could have been put into lining up the toys - in particular, poor Smurfette could have been placed upright.

(Important side note: as I was taking this photo, an elderly neighbor informed me that I could likely take any of the toys if I was interested.  He also felt the need to inform me that they were really, really old and kind of dirty.  I wish I could have snapped a photo of HIM...)
