Schleich is a German toy manufacturer founded in 1935 by Friedrich Schleich. The company is best known for its authentic and detailed figurines, particularly its animal figurines, which are popular amongst collectors and children alike.

Evolution of Focus: Originally, Schleich produced plastic figurines for comic characters, but in the 1980s, the company began focusing on animal figures, which would become their most popular line. The first Smurfs figurines were introduced by Schleich in 1965, and they quickly became popular worldwide.

Global Recognition: Today, Schleich is one of the largest toy manufacturers in Germany and is known for its high-quality, hand-painted figurines that are designed to stimulate creative play and learning. The company is committed to creating toys that are not only fun but also educational, helping children to develop an understanding of the world around them.

Enduring Partnership: The Smurfs, created by Belgian comics artist Peyo in 1958, have been part of Schleich's product line for over 50 years, making them one of the most enduring and beloved character collections in the company's history.

Creation Story: The Smurfs were created by Belgian cartoonist Pierre "Peyo" Culliford in 1958. They first appeared as supporting characters in the comic series "Johan and Peewit" in a story called "The Smurfs and the Magic Flute."

Origin of the Name: Originally called "Les Schtroumpfs" in French, these small blue creatures live in mushroom houses in a forest. Each Smurf has their own distinct personality and role within their community, typically reflected in their names like Papa Smurf, Brainy Smurf, and Clumsy Smurf.

Global Phenomenon: The Smurfs gained worldwide popularity through various media adaptations, including the famous animated television series that aired from 1981 to 1989, produced by Hanna-Barbera. The show introduced the Smurfs to international audiences and became a cultural phenomenon.

Expanding Franchise: The franchise has since expanded to include movies, video games, theme park attractions, and countless merchandise lines. The Smurfs remain one of the most recognisable and beloved cartoon characters globally, appealing to multiple generations of fans.

Enduring Legacy: Peyo's creation continues to entertain children and adults alike, with new content regularly being produced, ensuring that the magic of Smurf Village lives on for future generations to discover and enjoy.

The Hungry Smurf: Greedy Smurf is one of the most well-known and beloved characters in the Smurf Village, instantly recognisable by his love of food, particularly cakes and pastries baked with Smurfberries. He's often depicted with a mixing bowl, spoon, or freshly baked treat in hand.

Culinary Talent: Despite his name suggesting simple gluttony, Greedy Smurf is actually the village's talented baker and cook. He takes great pride and joy in preparing delicious meals and treats for the other Smurfs, often testing his creations himself before sharing them with the community.

Community Role: Greedy Smurf plays an important role in Smurf Village celebrations and gatherings, as his baking skills bring the community together during festivities. His enthusiasm for food and cooking makes him a cheerful and popular figure among his fellow Smurfs.

Collectable Appeal: As a collectable figurine, Greedy Smurf is particularly popular amongst those who appreciate the lighthearted and food-loving aspects of Smurf culture, making him a delightful addition to any Smurf collection.
