I bought the newest groom and bride today, because I like the new markings on them.
When I compared the markings of the groom, I noticed that one smurf had 1 hole under the feet, the second one had none and the new one had 2 holes.
Is this a mold matter?

I asked Schleicher about this and I am not sure what the answer was.
I remember he first thought it was made by some tool sometimes used for removing the smurf from the mold. But that I think we came to the conclusion was not the case.

I think it is a mold matter. I assume they are the same on all brides from today with the same cavitynumber?? The easiest thing would be to check all on the shelves in the stores?? :-D :lol: Then we don´t have to buy them! :o

In Sweden the smurfs are blue ( and yellow).

Previous years they used to have the holes so that they fitted on something. Then they started useing the holes for the colour paint marking. Maybe Schleich has an untold secret why the new ones have these.

Thanks André and Pierre!

Only the groom has holes, the brides don`t.
If ever I`ll find a smurfshop, I`ll check the cavities.

I`d love to phantasize over Schleich`s secrets! :-)
