[The Smurf Collector]

Today I discovered the new 2025 Smurfs on the Schleich website.

#20845 Best Friend Smurf
#20846 Cutie Smurf
#20847 Supersmurf
#20848 Smurf-fu
#20849 Pizza Smurf
#20850 Gamer Smurf

No other details have been discovered so far, such as markings or potential colour variations!

Another sign smurf

Not really impressed with these ones.

It says 'Special' and 'Only with Us' on the Schleich website. Do we feel that they will only be available from Schleich? Maybe there will be a second release of smurfs nearer to the release of the film?

Do we think that this will be the last year Schleich make smurfs Kath as, as you say on your website, the license runs out at the end of the year?

[The Smurf Collector]

Yes, I believe it will be the last Smurfs from Schleich, even with the new movie happening in July.

Most likely with the movie, McDonald’s will produce some toy. Along with other toy companies such as Sbabam, Kinder Surprise etc.

I don’t mind the look of the new Smurfs, just disappointed not seeing a new Papa Smurf. Most likely only available from the Schleich website. I haven’t found them available anywhere else as yet.

[Tommo]

These are now available to buy except Cutie Smurf and Smurf-Fu

[The Smurf Collector]

Good to know. Any idea when Cutie Smurf and Smurf-fu Smurfette will be available?

[Tommo]

They’re all available now Kath. It says in the emails that they’ve been restocked, but they don’t know how long they will remain in stock. These are all either a very limited run or this is a clever marketing tactic from Schleich. I have a feeling that there will be another range of Smurfs released by Schleich nearer to the films release.

[Tommo]

Just thinking, so will Schleich just not produce ANY Smurfs, as in they will no longer produce older Smurfs either after 2025?

[Tommo]

Well, it's official. No more Schleich smurfs

I wonder if someone else makes smurfs for IMPS if they will be given all the Schleich molds?

[Tommo]

I've just received:

20845 Best Friend Smurf
20847 Supersmurf
20849 Pizza Smurf
20850 Gamer Smurf

All ‘Made in China’ apart from 20845 Best Friend Smurf which is still ‘Made in Romania’. All year marked 2023 apart from the Romania marked Best Friend Smurf which is 2019. I’d add pictures, but we’ve just had an area wide power cut

[The Smurf Collector]

At least Schleich is now telling people that this will be their last year. I wonder if Bullyland will make Smurfs again!

Also interesting about the China markings. I don’t know where Schleich produces their other figures.

Looking forward to see your photos

The end of an era. I´m sad

[Tommo]

It really is a strange thought. I'm wondering if Schleich will do boxsets, of the smurfs they have left, nearer to the release of the film to get rid of the rest of their stock if they're no longer lisenced to sell smurfs by the end of the year?

[Tommo]

These new 2025 smurfs are no longer showing on the Schleich website, not even as being 'sold out' with the 'notify me' option, so these must have been a really limited run as they sold out completely in just over 2 months

[The Smurf Collector]

Looks like Schleich US still have them showing as available. Not sure what tariffs they charge.

[Arno]

Yes, not available anymore.
I have ordered 4 of them in february but the delivery service (DPD) pretended that my address was wrong and the smurfs get back to Schleich in Germany, though I mailed Schleich to say that DPD's tracking asked for more information...
So... no 2025 smurfs for me !

[The Smurf Collector]

Arno, that’s just crazy.

I just attempted to make an order with Schleich US but it blocked me. Only sending orders within the USA.

Looks like I won’t be getting any 2025 Smurfs either.

[Tommo]

I'd love to know what quantities of these were made. First the delay of a year, and then a series that sells out in 2 months. I feel that 'production problems' translates to 'we couldn't be bothered to make many'. With the intricateness of some of the other ranges that Schleich makes, I would have thought that these smurfs would have been quite simple to produce. In years to come these might be some of the rarest smurfs to find, but then again the light brown address marked Puppy apparently only have a run of 350 and yet you can still find these at a very low price.
