This set was designed and mold-injected in Germany and hand painted in Tunisia (Tunisia is on the north tip of Africa, between Algeria and Libya). According to European Economic Community rules this allows the marking "Made in Germany," as the larger percentage of the product value was created in Germany. The quality on this set is very good, better than we saw from China not long ago!

The figurines are marked "Schleich S Germany" since Schleich is in Germany. The "S" is in a circle, and is Schleich's logo. The figurines are marked "Made in Germany," as indicated above. They are marked "© 2005." The copyright date is always the year the mold is cut, usually one year before the figurine was officially available. "Peyo" (creator of the Smurfs) appears as always and there is a "CE" which is molded into every product coming from the European Community. Finally, we have the number of the cavity in the molding machine, which identifies which mold went bad when defective figurines start turning out. They have a "bracelet" sticker on them with "Schleich S" on one side and "CE" with barcode and Schleich # on the other side.

The following are the Schleich #'s and a brief description of each figurine:
