Defining A Zinnfiguren Collection

My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

GO figure it out

I got some nice sets from GO International, including a CD of their huge catalog. Really, this is a must as most of their figures are not on their website. Given that the cost of the CD isn't much, why they don't put all that info up on the website escapes me. It would certainly save on time and speed up transactions.

As I said, their catalog is great. These are the first few sets to make it into my collection.
