Toy, Smurfette, 1981-1983

Pierre Culliford, a Belgian artist who drew under the name Peyo, introduced the Smurfs to the world in 1958. These little blue creatures were an instant hit with Belgian children. Over twenty years later American children became enamored with the Smurfs when Hanna Barbera created an animated cartoon series. In the early 1980s many Smurf-related toys found their way into American homes.
