Hering and Made in Brazil Markings | What are Hering Smurfs?
Hering Smurfs are Smurf figurines from Brazil that have the "Hering" stamp. Hering Smurfs are from the 1980s and look and feel very similar to the Schleich and Bully Smurfs that most collectors are familiar with. The exception being the unique Hering markings.
Hering Smurf Markings
Hering Smurfs have the marking "Hering" printed on them. In full, they say "Hering" with "MADE IN BRAZIL" right underneath. The Peyo and Schleich stampings are also present. The Hering markings are clear and legible.
Hering Smurfs also sometimes have production mold number markings on them. In the photo on the left, Cowboy Smurf has a "1" mold number, and First Aid Smurf has a "4" mold number (read more about these single digit markings here). |

Special Hering Smurfs
In addition to the standard Hering Smurf figurines, there are unique Hering Smurf figures, that feature special markings as well.
As revealed by BlueBuddies friend Squeaky Smurf, Hering Smurfs sometimes have the words "Hering" and "Made in Brazil" erased or barely visible to the naked eye.
It appears that the molds at some point were modified to remove the Hering and Made in Brazil markings - but you can see them if you look closely! Because these "erased" Herings still say "Hering" on them, they are still considered Hering Smurfs, although they are difficult to collect because it's really hard to see stamps that have been almost completely erased!
Look carefully, the Papa Smurf and Grouchy Smurf Hering figures to the right have their markings almost completely removed. |
