Did you know that there are two Bass Guitar Smurfs? Both released in 1998 by Schleich, one as a regular Smurf and one part of the 40th anniversary set. What makes them each unique are their paint colours.
Regular – Bass Guitar Smurf
Wearing black pants with a white belt and a red t-shirt. Along with white runners. The Smurf is playing a tan coloured bass guitar, that has white and black details and silver strings. To complement this cool looking smurf is his green wristband. Sold between 1998 to 2001.
40th anniversary set – Bass Guitar Smurf
Wearing silver pants with a white belt and fluorescent yellow/green t-shirt. Along with black shoes. The Smurf is playing a tan coloured bass guitar, that has white and black details and silver strings. To complement this cool looking smurf is his purple wristband.
For those of you who are not familiar with the 40th anniversary set, this was a special celebration limited edition set. The release was to coincide 40 years of the Smurfs – 1958 to 1998. I read in the SCCI newsletter issue 49, published in Summer 1998 that only 20,000 would be available. Perhaps as a complete set, but in my opinion not as individual Smurfs.
Which is your favourite Bass Guitar Smurf?
