The signs are good for the Smurfs

It’s Schleich’s 75th anniversary this year, and the new collection of Smurf figurines is a great way to get the ball rolling.

Representing the signs of the zodiac, in inimitable Smurf style, the figures are led by the roaring Leo (main picture), which epitomises how each character portrays the attributes of his or her sign (wise old Papa Smurf is therefore a perfect choice for the fair and balanced Libra).

Each figure is priced around £2.60, including the two-for-one Gemini (now that’s added value).
