Tonight, we Fly!

Deep in the heart of the gloomy forest, four wicked witches gather to fly into the night and cast a spell of mischief on All Hallows’ Eve. Old Mother Cuspin, the Head Enchantress at Mother Gothel’s School of Witchery gathers three of her best and most wicked pupils whom she thinks are ready to gain their broom flying licences!

 

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for October 28th is “Halloween style”. It was a very easy decision to use my Playmobil witches in a tableau for the theme, for what could be more Halloween style than a coven of witches about to fly into the sky on All Hallows’ Eve? I hope you like my choice of the theme, and that it makes you smile, and not scream or shudder from fear!

 

Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil are their vibrant colours and the array of different items that are produced. In this tableau, we have several generations of witches: on the left is the Playmobil witch from the surprise series 11, on the right the Playmobil witch from the surprise series 15, and one in from the right is the Playmobil witch from the surprise series 8. Mother Cuspin the Head Enchantress is the much sought after Playmobil witch 3838 released in 1995.

Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
