Blue Cavern

This is not of huge interest for everyone, but still I thought I'd post it anyway:

I bought another football sockel to replace one which a slight color patch on the ball, only to find that the new one I got was the hong kong variation of the football smurf... so now I have to keep both!!!

Still debating whether it should count as "1" in my sockels collection or "2" though...

Nice one david. I haven't had many sockels that were the same so I haven't been able to compare virtually any. I have a German beer one which has different shades of blue on the base but looking at your Soccer ones and the fact that there are so many variations in regular smurfs then I'm not really surprised that you would find some in the sockels.

Do you have the type of info of when sockels were released and which ones each year? I haven't really seen much of the sockels and when they started and when the last non Schönwald one was released.
