Copyright details on Schleich figures

[CherryPizza]

Hey all,

I realise it's a long shot that anyone will be able to answer this, but...

As my previous posts have indicated, I've spent the last 6 months collecting variations on the Schleich Muppet Show and Muppet Babies PVC figures. Now that I have over 130 of the little buggers, I've started cataloguing them online with photos and copyright details.

In addition to the usual information (Henson copyright, year, name of company, place of manufacture) there is a numeral printed on the figures as well. The sample I have is too small to draw any particular conclusions, even though it seems that particular versions of the figures share the same numeral.

Does anyone know what the numeral might mean? Is it even significant?

If you go to www.bluecavern.com (maybe serach the forums) they might be able to help you. Its a smurf collectors' website. The people there know a lot about the numbering/marks on the schleich smurfs and they might have some information that you can apply to the muppets. They are also all really Super nice there too.
