Hi all, a frequent question is:

What is the difference between Bully smurfs and Schleich smurfs?

Basically both Bully and Schleich are companies that have had the license to produce smurfs. Bully hasn't produced smurfs for many years, Schleich still produces all smurf figures, new and re-released. There a few other companies that have produced smurf figures over the years including Dupuis and Applause.

If anyone can add to this or correct it if I have made a mistake please do.

Rachel - Applause thru Wallace Berrie never produced the smurf figures they just liscenced to sell them for a while in the states (Schleich still produced them), with this came a agreement between Schleich and Wallace Berrie/Applause to have the figures bear both markings etc. Gary

Thanks Gary. I am always pleased to learn new info and I didn't know that. Plus I would hate to give out incorrect information. That's what is so great about these boards, you can always find someone who knows.
