Whenever a Smurf had a moral dilemma in the cartoon series, Devil and Angel Smurfs would appear. It was an easy way to show good and bad decisions to children.
In the US, Devil and Angel Smurfs were sold as a pair by Applause in 1985. On posters, their names were Conscience Devil and Conscience Angel.
Schleich also had their variants of Devil and Angel Smurfs, sold between 1985 to 2009. Referred to as Little Angel and Little Devil.
The Devil is in the details
The Applause variant of Devil is a dark red mould with orange skin, white horns and black wings. Most considered this one as rare because it only sold for possibly one year.
Schleich’s variation of Devil is a pink/red mould with white horns and black wings.
A friend of mine tells me there are 18 variations of Devil Smurf. I believe this consists of colour and marking variations. However, he takes his collecting more seriously than most.
In my opinion, I prefer Devil than Angel because it’s unlike any other Smurf. The pink/red mould can vary in colour depending when or where it was made.
Keep on Smurfin
