Hi guys, I had a parcel with a few Schleich Clips (keyrings) in it. I am wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what the promotion or advertising was for. These are the first of this type that I have had so it would be nice to have a bit of history on them.

Any help, much appreciated.

I've often wondered what these names mean too. I reckon Frank's the man!!!

I don't know anything about these but they do look nice. I tried to order some smurf keyrings from Schleich this week, just the normal ones, and they said I can't have any, they only do them as special orders, even though I said I would order in bulk. So it seems only *special* dealers get keyrings.

Dyar has a whole bunch of the same type of clips on his website, Rach... don't know if he knows anything about them though I've never seen them before this though.

Wasn't Jutta Thauwald the voice of Smurfette or something? A lot of them have either her name or Michael Thauwald but I don't know a lot about them. If you could ask Frank then that would be really interesting to see what he says Martin.

I went through a Schleich Clip fetish at the end of last year and bought a whole heap of them....I am still looking for others I don't have though as I know there are still more out there.

Nope, that would be Lucille Bliss. I googled Jutta Thauwald and came up with a bunch of german sites -- since I can't read german, that did me no good!

Lucille Bliss huh?....well I was pretty close as Lucille sounds female





(providing Jutta is a female's name of course???)

Not one Google find for "Jutta Thauwald" (with the quotes!). Could it be the name of a toy shop?

Karen, I'm amazed that you can't get the keychains. DO you remember the Comics Museum last year? They had quite a range of those, andd I know of some other shops that have them as well. It could of course be that Schleich has stopped making those. Hmmm, time to buy some perhaps?

Nah, I think it is just the UK arm being mean to me.

Thanks guys.

I am guessing that it must be a business of some kinf as one of the keyrings has the Jutta Thauwald name but with a telephone number.

Hi Fram, yes I remember seeing them in the museum, although I can't remember what they were advertising.


Okay, so who wants to be the first person to ring and ask "who are you, why are you on a smurf?"

Here's a site showing lots of these smurfs with tags:-

Unfortunately there's no info on where they're from

Thanks Tojo.

Funnily enough, I was having a browse of Andy's site earlier this evening but didn't get to this page.

Wow

I didn't realise that there were so many variations of name ont he same smurf. That's a great page and I will have to see the rest of it when I get a chance.

Thanks for posting the link Tojo

I admit I cheated once.

I couldn't find Gargamel Angry (hands on hips) so bought the key chain ("clip") version and unscrewed the keychain. Granted, it looks like he just had a [primitive surgery (name forgotten) in which the friendly neighborhood witch doctor drills a hole in your head to release the evil spirits].
