WT is a VIP (Very Important Person).
Can't believe he's going to see the new Smurfs before us!!

Revisiting his origin's will make his story complete. I think it's a wonderful idea. Just wish we could all visit with him ..... Looking forward to the photos.

WT is in Schwäbish Gmünd and visit the place where he was born. The Schleich-factory in Herlikofen. He tells me he is having a great time and he has met many old relatives.

At the factory he was welcomed and guided by this lovely old friend!!

Absolutely marvelous to see that WT was able to visit Schleich. So glad that this worked out

Hi everyone,

WT has been resting awhile since his visit to the Schleichfactory. After a hectic spring ( for me

) he now wants to continue his historical mission. He is set to find out about his history and orgin. How everything started, how he was born, how he got so populair etc.

His first stop was at the Schleichfactory. He got to see how the new smurfs were made and loved his time in Herlikofen.

His next stop will be at BP, since BP was the company that wanted Schleich to make the PVC smurfs in 1965. He has got OK to visit the BP archives and there he will meet some of his old friends from the BP-era.

So now I only have to get him ready and packed for a new mission.

After this he has at least 2 more places he would like to visit on his "history-quest".

Awwwww that sounds tight.

I'm looking forward to seeing pics.

The WT is now back to Sweden again after his visit to the BP archives in the UK. He just loved it there and will prepare for his next trip.
