Easter Bunny beware

If you plan to go on a smurf hunt this Easter, there a few things that you might want to know before you go out.

The first release of Easter Smurfs happened around 1983, Smurf in a Bunny suit (20496) and Smurfette in a bunny suit (20497). These two were originally released as a special seasonal pair of smurfs in the USA.
