Dear All, Is a Moomin a thing? A Moomin is an animal, right? But a Moomin s also a person with his/her own character, who loves his/her relatives and/or...
A Moomin is a Moomin.. Like a human is a human or a Hemulen a Hemulen or a Mymble a Mymble !! Is a specie, a basic unit of biological classification.. a...
This is an interesying topic. Although a moomin is a moomin and a hemulen a hemulen etc... the distinction is not always clear. For example Joxter is Snufkin's...
Well I guess "a moomin" is a thing in the same way that a cat is a thing, but is is interesting that neither Mamma, Pappa nor "Moomin" appear to have names....
Very intresting indeed !! Since Mymble (the Mymble and Little Myy's mom) and Joxter are both Snufkin's parents, I think that Snufkin gets to be a combination...
Well the Snork Maiden was a female Snork (if Snorks are a species which are very similar to Moomins). But I wonder if calling the characters by their species...
Hi there, Moomins are Trolls. End of story. Tove's grandmother told her of Trolls who lived behind the stove. Give the books a read. God bless Tove. Love...
But the suggestion is they are a type of troll or they evolved from trolls, as their ancestors are quite different in appearance and their are other trolls who...
At different times My is a My or a Mymble. When she falls over in Midwinter she laughs when she thinks about what "a My" looks like with her legs in the air....
Hi! I am new here. My fiance is Finnish, hence I have been re-introduced to the Moomins, even though I grew up with the fuzzy felt version back in the early...
Hi Russ You will have to send some pics of your jumper when it's finished - it sounds awesome! :D I agree with you - the Healthy Hemulen is a really great...
Welcome to the group, Russ It is characteristic of hemulens to want to organize other people's lives for them. The healthy hemulen certainly shares that ...
Cool. Yes, the Big Healthy Hemulen (BHH) certainly does turn up and start organising people, but I guess the free spirited thing is that he is a true mountain...
LOL. Okay, okay, we get it. You're a big fan of this particular Hemulen. Actually I've always enjoyed the personalities of the assorted Hemulens, if we forget...
I'm convinced, but I still like Snufkin better. Actually he does save Salome (pp 105-7) as well as Sorry-oo. Now naturism in Moominvalley is an interesting...
I'm learning lots here - I only have the early 1980's fuzzy felt DVD, and one comic strip book. I would really like to get further into the detail, as I had...
Hi guys, I have been looking for this figuringe for over 5 years, but didn't have a picture of it til now. http://www.pbase.com/bennyyune/image/73535228 Does...
Hi Teresa, These are the Benelic moomin figures from Japan. They do come up occasionally on Ebay, but I couldn't find any listed at the moment. However it...
Thanks Hayden. I've seen a lot on ebay before, but never the Groke! But I have been trying to avoid ebay since I stopped working - hahaha. Anything for the...
Wow, Russ you are in for a treat! This is the book you need: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moominland_Midwinter Also, there was a seasonal mug with the healthy...
Fantastic! Now I can have a cup of tea in my Healthy Hemulen mug, in my HH jumper whilst reading Moominland Mid Winter. This group is awesome! (wow, the mugs...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone had any information on the volume 5 release of the 1990's version? From episode 53+ Or does anyone know where I can get hold...
Hi, I think Tara was referring to the animated cartoon rather than the fuzzy felt version. Stax entertainment were releasing these and got as far as volume 4...
Thanks so much for taking the time to look for this Teresa, but Hayden was right and it was the animated cartoon version I was looking for :) Thanks for the...
Oops, sorry about that! We never had the animated series in New Zealand and I have not seen it, so I often forget about it's existence. Have a great day, ...
Hey guys, I heard back from Stax entertainment today.. "We met with the copyright owners last week and we are exploring the possibility of releasing volume 5...
Hi Tara, That's good to know. The quality of volumes 1-4 wasn't that great and they could probably do with re-mastering - just a shame they didn't do that in...
