Hello everybody,
the forum is huge and a gold mine, but it is also hard to search, so let me please ask you smurfers who have been part of building the blue cavern since a long time a few questions:
1) Are here some who are into the moulding craftswomen and -men, is there by chance a topic about how many artistic sculptors were involved in making smurfs over time?
2) Is here a topic about the material out of which the figurines are made? I mean, about the ingredients, the chemicals used, the techniques of production and why there were different and changing recipes?
3) Is there a work in progress online, something like an illustrated timeline showing in which order which mould was made; thus covering the roughest but biggest (and most play-relevant) difference between figurines, the form?
4) Is there a thread reflecting collecting? I mean discussing ways, motivations, philosophies?
5) Is here a thread trying to bring together a coherent (or, if so, incoherent) picture of smurf life, the smurf world, as it would be put together from the artistic and commercial sources: comics, figurines, other toys, playing, merchandise, movies, fan art?
Thank you very much!
liebe Grüße, Till
