I think the markings on the smurfs could be the same as the last ones made of these in 2009/2010?? Both I have with addressmarking.
But the interesting thing with these are that Schleich made a new serie of toys to replace the big success of the smurfs when the big drop in sales came in around 1985. They called the toys the S-point. I think many of you could have heard about this. It was a big failure and part of the reason Schleich went bancrupt. I have many of those S-point toys and they look exactly like the toys Mic-o-mic are selling. So they must have got the license for those by Schleich???
That is also why I would like to get them. It is like a history come together. The Schleich S-point toys from 1986 and the Schleich smurfs Devil and Angel, which was first made around that year.
here is my airplane from 1986 by Schleich. As you see it look the same.
Mic-o-mic is new ,Company Schäfer toys and they were founded 2007.
So I wonder if they are the same as the old toys. BASF, a Schleich-partner, when it comes to material, are also making the material for Mic-o-mic toys.
If you look at the Mic-o-mic site and check which vehicles they have for sale they are almost exactly like the Schleich S-Point serie from 1986.
As you see from the Pictures in my special s-Point catalogue from Schleich you can read that they had the license for these items. Most likely Schäfer toys bought these rights.
So that what makes it so nice. "Almost" like a complete Schleich set.
And a nice thing is that these toys, at least the old one was in the correct size for smurfs to be using.
