There are three Baby Smurfs that are pretty much the same except for the colour of their pajamas. Baby White #20179, Pink Baby #20202 and Blue Baby #20203 all first released in 1984.

I know what you are thinking, there are not many versions of the Baby Smurfs to collect. But this shouldn’t stop you collecting these cute and adorable figurines.

Baby White

Baby White can be found wearing white pajamas with two yellow buttons on the back flap, while crawling along with a red rattle with a yellow bell. Wallace Berrie made two different versions, one with sky blue skin and the other they made has dark blue skin. The one with the very light blue skin can be harder to find. This is because it was only sold for one possibly two years.

Baby White is also sometimes referred to as White Baby with a rattle. Though as this is a long winded name it is commonly called Baby White. Baby White was only sold by Schleich between 1984 to 1989.

Pink Baby

Pink Baby is made out of a pink pvc material, so the pink colour can vary. The blue skin can also vary from sky blue to dark blue. Like the other Baby Smurfs, some collectors also mention the size of the yellow bell as a point of difference.

In the SCCI Newsletter Issue 41 (Summer 1996) they list two different variations of Pink Baby. I sometimes find these mould size variations are impossible to see with the naked eye. This is because we are often only referring a couple of millimemetres. Pink Baby was sold by Schleich from 1984 to 1990.

1. Pink mould. Light pink P.J’s, pale blue skin. Red rattle with yellow centre.
2. Smaller mould size. Pink mould. Dark pink P.J’s, dark blue skin. Red rattle with yellow centre.

Blue Baby

The similarities between Blue Baby and Pink Baby are striking. Blue Baby is made of a blue injected mold, where the colour of blue can vary greatly. The blue skin can also vary with this smurf from very dark to pale blue.

The most rare marking variation of Blue Baby is Schleich S © Peyo CE marking with a black paint dot. It’s possible that Schleich only sold this for one year maybe less. Blue Baby was only sold until 1990, when Schleich started to add the CE mark to their Smurfs.

One of the most rarest series by Schleich was the Lovables series released in 1986. Described as a ‘fashionable artcile combined with a figurine’. The Baby Smurfs featured in a number of these items such as Ball point pendant, Comic figurine with String of pearls and a heart shaped pencil sharpener. There is just one problem, I don’t own any of these Loveables Smurfs.

Keep on Smurfin
