Did you know that Studious Smurf was first referred to as Swot Smurf by Schleich? Sold between 2000 to 2005 by Schleich. Carrying a stack of books, with a pencil tucked behind his ear, while looking stressed. Wearing white sneakers with red laces, blue jeans and a red t-shirt.
One of the best things about Studious Smurf is the expression on the Smurf’s face. I’m not sure how to describe it. It’s not a smile or frown. I also like that the colour of the books are different.
When looking for Studious Smurf, keep in mind there are not many colour or markings variations. The colour variation is the blue skin that can vary from shiny to matte colours. The markings are – Made in China Schleich S Germany © 99 Peyo CE. Some also have a blue paint dot.
In 2001, Schleich announced there would be NO Golden 100 figurines for 2001! Schleich decided to not to reissue 100 old figurines, as has been their practice for the previous 10 years. In the year 2001, there would only be fifty figurines in the Smurf Line. A mix of new and old figurines. How times have changed!
Keep on Smurfin
