Smurf toys and other collectibles are a perfect choice for starting a child or adult on the road to a fascinating hobby. A huge collection of Smurf figurines can be displayed in a small area, making them ideal for collectors having limited space.
Fast-food restaurants and other businesses were quick to adopt the Smurfs as promotional items. Because these Smurfs were usually produced for only a short time, they make great additions to a collection of Smurf memorabilia.
The most familiar Smurf collectibles found are the 2-inch rubbery vinyl Smurf figurines in hundreds of designs and styles. The Schleich firm began manufacturing these figurines in 1965, and most of the Smurfs from this factory are clearly marked with the company name and country of origin.
In later years Smurf figurines were produced in Hong Kong, Tunisia, Macau, Portugal, Sri Lanka and China. Countless hundreds of Smurf figures have been produced since their introduction to the toy market, and it could take a lifetime of searching to complete as entire set of every figure made.
Because all Smurf figurines are hand-decorated there are often variations in painting style, such as in facial expressions or eye positions. These pieces are of special importance to serious Smurf collectors, who actively seek out the rarities caused by human error. Also of important value to Smurf hunters are characters whose molds have been destroyed and those bearing manufacturer's markings that are no longer used. It takes a well educated Smurf lover to recognize the subtle variations that can make a Smurf novelty highly desirable. Smurfs issued during holiday occasions such as Easter or Valentine's Day were made in far fewer quantities than regular figures, and these too are popular choices with collectors.
