It looks like series 2 contains lots of repaints from series 1 and even an articulated larger figure w/ DVD.
yeah, with some that I got came the packaging and from that here is what I can deduce:
Series 1 has 42 figures from 6 different sets; earth, forest, sea, air, volcano magma, volcano lava. 6 of these figures (one from each set) are slightly bigger than the rest.
Series 2 has 77 figures. 35 original figures from 5 different sets, the same groups as the first series except volcano is reduced to one type (hence 7 less figures!).
Again each set has one figure that is slightly larger than the rest (5 in total). This time there is something new though, a figure in each set that is always listed on ebay as 'rare'. It is kept seperate from the rest on the packaging with 'it tries them in newspaper stand' written above them in italian, I'm guessing that may mean hard to find!!! (the turtle appears in this category)
As well as these 35 the 42 from series 1 are available repainted with gold and silver!
I think that tree playset is wicked kewl from what I can see.
I agree, I picked up 2 of the sea playsets on ebay last night, it looks like a giant turtle head with some pink coral and the turtle figure comes with it!!!
I was tempted to get the large volcano playset instead but went for the turtle ones in the end, the other one is still available:
