morphing items & hidden signs?

So I'm finding the feathers but no morphing objects & hidden signs in the Collector's Edition. Am I missing them or ???

The morphing items are only in (some) hidden object scenes - the indicator to the bottom left of the hint button shows a circle when there is. The hidden signs are only feathers in the first section (in the elf kingdom), they are orange crystals in the second section (Giants kingdom), which is as far as I have played at the moment. It would be great if the game told you what you are looking for, instead of having to check the SG to find out what they are!

It's part of the "adventure game" play aspect
You figure out what is different, what are you seeing that you didn't see before, what would be in that world?
Something feathery for elves, something fiery in the forges,,,
