Around the world St Patricks Day is celebrated. This also includes the smurf village with St Patricks Smurf.
St Patricks Smurf was first released in the USA around 1982/83. Wearing a light green outfit and holding a three leaf clover in his right hand. This version was made out of green pvc material.
Shortly after this release a version was made for the European market wearing a brown jacket, yellow vest, red pants and a black hat with a red hatband. This is made out of blue pvc material.
The last St Patricks Smurf was last released in 2000 wearing a brown jacket, yellow vest, red pants and a black hat. This is made out of blue pvc material. The three leaf clover it is holding is a darker green than the American version. The CE mark is on the back of the clover.
Schleich gave this reference number 20176. St Patricks was only ever made in Portugal and was never made in W.Germany/Germany, Hong Kong or China.
The St Patricks Smurfs can be hard to find. The version with red hatband is considered the rarest out of the three.
Good luck to you all
Keep on Smurfin
