I'm not going to say no completely, but it would practically have to be the size of a dragon, so might not be a realistic addition costwise.

Get somebody to make a 3D-printable kit?  ;)

Seriously, I think that is the shape of things to come - Reaper already acknowledged the need for reducing prices on large models (Bones), and I think  it is only a matter of time, before we see 3D-artists offering printable creatures.
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

The bigger it is, the higher the printing cost of course (I would feel obliged to go for a high quality print and cast copies in resin).

I'd just use a fluffy toy  :D Mind you with a real cat in the house it would just be a matter of time before she ended up on the table anyway.

The roofs on the houses might be of interest for the towers on my Smurf King house.

Yep those roof sections do look useful.

Got a couple of the houses making their way to me, so will see how useful they can be.

Got 4. They have a good shape and some nice detail. They will be a good base for smaller tower roofs for the King Smurf home as I plan to use them. The walls have some window detail on them, so may use them as the upper floor of the tower and build onto that. 

Not big enough to be actual houses for the smurfs in my opinion, but your milage may vary on that.

How did you get hold of them?

Bought two on ebay, then passed by a local McDonalds and asked at the counter if I could buy a couple of just the houses, which they agreed to.

These are great. I started collecting smurfs when I was 10 ( back in '82), I was travelling through Europe with my parents and was amazed at the range you could buy ( in Australia they were only released for sale in BP petrol stations). I,ll join the queue if they become available to buy some "Comic Phrygians". Any chance you might do the helmeted smurf with the halberd? He was always my favourite ( along with the Swoof).
As for Azrael, I needed a similar scale cat for "Brodie" from the Mice and Mystics game. There are heaps of resin statue cats at $2 shops that are the perfect scale, I found one for $10au.
