Hi everyone,

I bought this lot from a seller recently and recieved it today.
The reason I bought this one was that it only contained smurfs made to 1977/78. And not just that. It contained ALL smurfs made to the year Schleich started with the smurfs again. It also contained only the older versions of the Bully smurfs. So my guess was that it belonged to a serious collector who bought all the smurfs these early years. And today when I recieved them it seems that my guess was right.

All Schleichsmurfs are the softer and older versions with perfekt Schleichemblems. Nothing else.

And the Bully ones are only the older and first versions.

I have not compared all yet but I wanted to check a few things with you. See if it seems correct.

For example this smurf with flower. I know many of you have the older Bully version with only Peyo on the back of the flower. But I recieved a version without any markings at all. For me this seems to be the first Bully version. The intresting thing with this is that the flower is loose and not attached to the "leaf" like on the later versions. Do anyone else have this version? Maybe you have talked about this before???

It is clearly that the mold was made like this and nothing have been cut. See picture.
And I understand if they changed it because the flower is very unstable like this.

On the picture are my older Bullysmurfs. The 2 to the right without peyo marking on the flower and the one to the left with the peyomarking on the flower. No other markings.

I also recieved a digger without any markings.
Just like my other first Bully version with only Peyo marking it has a red mouth. But different colour on the shovel.
The newer Bullyversions with smaller blades also comes in different colours.

Last picture. Must look at the soccermatch. SPAIN!!

I recieved a laughing smurf also with no markings. It had no black paint in his mouth??? The other one I have with onle Peyo marking has this.

The newer taller Bully version to the right seems to be a mix of both of them.
