I think that all collectors really love the cartoon characters when Schleich makes them. I totally agree that Mother nature and Father time and Hogatha and all our favorites would be such an awesome line. I think they should reintroduce hefty too, Its sad that he isn't as available as the new classic characters, because what is a smurf village without hefty? I think they should make nanny and grandpa and the smurflings again, and puppy too. The main characters and villains have always been my favorites when putting a village together. I think an in-scale gargamel and azrael is way overdue. I can't wait to see what they chose as the new set, but something tells me it will not be more classic characters, despite what the collectors seem to want so much! As soon as we hear something, we will post it right away, so keep looking out!
