Schönwald Promo Smurf-a-Grams

200547 WITCH SMURFETTE SCHÖNWALD PROMO SMURF-A-GRAM
The Latest: 20547 Witch Smurfette - April 2006 - 600 Pieces

The Schönwald promos are part of a series of pieces produced by Schönwald, a spa and resort located in the famed "Black Forest" of Germany. Schönwald initially purchased 5,000 blank blue Smurf-a-Gram bases, and then purchased figurines as they were needed to manufacture the promos themselves. This was an unusual arrangement - Schleich usually manufactures finished promos, and requires a 5,000 piece minimum order for each promo figurine - Schönwald was offered a special deal. As a result, the Schönwald promos are available in much smaller quantities than any other promo from that period.

Schönwald was not supposed to market the Smurf-a-Grams - they were to give them away locally to promote their tour offers. However, the Smurfs were reportedly sold in the Schönwald gift shop, and have also been made available to the collecting community.

To make the promos, figurines were glued to a blank Smurf-a-Gram base, and then a pressure-sensitive Schönwald sticker was applied. Schönwald produced a first series (identified by a white tree on the label) and a second series (identified by a green tree). As the total number of pieces produced approached 5,000 pieces, an additional quantity of blank bases was purchased, so that the program could continue, although it is not known how many more were bought. Following are the pieces that have been produced to date:
