Hi all,

let's go on with the 1983 Wallace Berrie Catalogue DIN A4, new with the Windmill, a Smurf Deluxe Play Village and tons of smurf stuff.

Have you noticed Iceockey is displayed two times - as normal AND as super smurf, and check out "First Aid", "Waiter" and the "Trapeze".

Don't skip any page, I haven't photographed all pages, only the smurf related.

My next upload will be 1984 Wallace Berrie the next days, please be patient and prepared - as always

Had to reduce file size and resolution, high-res. on request.

The rare waiter is here and i think the sled super is a HK mold......all the other smurfs are HK painted....not sure why it wasn't released...god knows but it exists a bit like Stefan's HK gargie playset figure

thanks Stefan

Thanks for all the work Stefan.

It is great to see all these cataloguepictures.

Was 20054 ever made like this with first aid written instead of the red cross?

Just a few things......

LOOK AT ALL OF THESE DISPLAYS...

Since this is the Wallace Berrie Catalog, I take it that all of these smurfs come with the Wallace Berrie marking (or variations of that marking).

One thing that confuses me...I know Wallace Berrie had the license for the American market...but why did they give their smurfs their own numbers? It kind of made sense for Bully to do so since Bully released them for a few years when Schleich didn't...but Wallace Berrie released them at the same time as Schleich and used the same molds as Schleich.

About the sockels...since WB shows the sockels with their numbers and in close-up pictures, do you think those are the only ones officially licensed by Wallace Berrie and that those not in the catalog are not official releases? I know it's hard to go by the catalogs for the German sockels since Schleich didn't show all of them in close ups..but was wondering about the US sockels

I'll shut up now.....I am home sick today and have way too much time to think, me thinks while watching the Olympics
