No Tojo; I have three of them one that the wrench is grey and he has green painted on overalls then I have two that have white pants and no shirt with a black wrench the wrench and the Smurfs a softer than the grey one. Here's a Pic. The makings on the feet of the black wrenchs are one foot w germany peyo the other is just a schleich symbol and one has mold four. The grey wrench is HK mold 2 also the Peyo is in cursive.

It certainly explains why the raw smurfs have so many different colors. I wondered about that as a raw smurf should only have the color of the raw material.

Thank you for the research, Thomas.

It would be great if we find somebody who actually bought one of the figures not pictured on the package with the package as the definite proof.

I have seen any of the six figures sold in the package before (well...one time actually ) but none of the others

Bill, the Waldbaurs are solid colored...the ones you have are normal Schleich figures

That SCCI article made very interesting reading & perhaps we now have an answer to my initial question Thanks GimpySmurf

35 different Waldbauers to collect

Oh well, only 34 more to go then

[bwalters]

Thanks for your info everyone. Now I have one more question. I have an all white 20080 Biscuit. I does have the Peyo and (c) on the arm with the biscuit in it. The other arm has what looks like the place where the mold was cut off. I can't be real sure until I look at my pic's but I think I got him from one of Pete's auctions.

That's great research, GimpySmurf, thank you!

I found these in a sparebox.

Are these Waldbauers??

Brown without markings and yellow with peyo on arm.

[Smurfysmurf]

Yep

[Tojo]

Well done on finding those 2 in with your spares André

I assume they aren't spares any more

[André]

No.

I also found 2 softer ones with painted mouths and eyes.

They have the marking ina, Peyo 1983 under. Seems to be the same size.

This an interesting discussion and it's good to see that list...In my opinion it makes sense that Bully sold their Waldbaurs in boxes and Schleich not.

These are my Waldbaurs (the hammock not, of course):

Does anyone know any Waldbaur that is not in the SCCI list?
edit: I just looked in the DSK...There are some raw smurfs with painted eyes that are not in the list, e.g. 2.0077 Naughty.

[Smurfysmurf]

No.

INA's are a different kind of promos Their color should be bright blue

[André]

Yes Maureen,

They are blue and very soft.

I have "now" the smurf with schoolbag on his back and the shy in these promos.





/André

[SmurfingH]

Those INAs are very nice too.

[stampysmurf]

This might sound silly, were they ever given away with the Nestle candy in the USA? I've never seen these so I'm guessing no?

[Tojo]

No.

/André

Well done!!!! I wish my spares held such surprises

[Smurfysmurf]

I wonder what else is in that box

[André]

Here is the box Maureen.

I put a lot of smurfs aside to check later. I have a lot of smurfs to check for markings especially normal smurfs. It is because I have no room to display all my smurfs and therefore I have a lot of them in boxes. So I don´t check them when I get them. I just take some of them out and compare.

In this box I have smurfs that is not from Schleich and Bully, which I have not checked yet.



/André

[SmurfingH]

If you have any doubles in that box that you don't want Andre, don't be afraid to let me know!

[lobo]

Same here!!
I love this little one catching tan!!!

[Tojo]

Just put my name on the box André & I'll pay the postage
