I really would like to see Schleich extend their line of "original characters" ...loved seeing Vanity, Harmony and others "re-issued". I do wish they would re-issue Johan and PeeWee again.
I"m a fan of the "original characters" and not always into the ones that are more on the "trendy" side, llke the whole recent "sports" series. Although I thought the marching band was unique, I'd much rather see the artists at Schleich actually take images of the Smurf Band from the TV episodes and actually design characters from those images. Also, Father Time and Mother Nature pvc's would be great, too! One thing I always thought would be great would be to have an original "Smurfette" when she had black hair...that would be unique.
Perhaps someday when I "acquire" Schleich
