This is one of my favourites, High Diver Super Smurf. Wearing red bathers, with his hands held together the Smurf is preparing to jump off the high diving board. Is it just my imagination, but is the Smurf also taking in a deep breath before he dives.
When considering adding High Diver Super Smurf to your collection, there are a couple of things to be weary of. Both Schleich and W.Berrie created their own versions of High Diver Super Smurf.
Hong Kong W. Berrie Co. Schleich S (c) 1983 Peyo
- Both the Smurf and pool have markings
- Painted in darker and shiny colours
- The ladder is typically shorter, measuring 7.4cm high
- The edge of the pool has two stick plugs for the ladder
- Smurf is made out of white pvc
W.Germany Schleich S (c) 1982 Peyo
- Only the Smurf has markings
- Painted in lighter and matte colours
- The ladder is typically longer measuring between 7.5cm, to 8cm high
- The edge is the pool has two holes for the ladder’s stick plugs to slot into
- Smurf is made out of blue pvc
Therefore a Schleich ladder cannot connect to a W. Berrie pool. I learnt this the hard way.
Keep on Smurfin
