(20721) Taurus Smurf
All the Smurfs are essentially alike – all with blue skin and a white uniform. This Smurf has horns protruding from his white hat, horns that resemble the Bull, and the Taurus star sign. He is warm-hearted, reliable and very loving but on the dark side he can be a little jealous!
(20722) Gemini Smurf

He is just ‘three apples tall’ but this Smurf looks quite a beast with his sharp teeth and big fuzzy mane! He is the lion which symbolizes the Leo star sign. He is very strong and is a great leader. He can also be a little bossy though!
(20725) Virgo Smurf
The Virgo sign is the only one which is resembled by a female. She looks very pretty with her white wings and pretty yellow flower. She is intelligent and very modest, but can also be a bit of a perfectionist and a worrier!

Sagittarius is represented by ‘the archer’- in this case he is half archer Smurf and half horse! Romance gives him a sense of adventure and not at all selfish, but big-hearted and understanding. He has a dark brown tail and tanned hair, and he is holding his bow and arrow.
