The Witches Cast an All Hallows' Eve Spell

            Deep in the heart of the gloomy forest, three wicked witches gather to cast a spell of mischief on All Hallows’ Eve.  Bainberry, stinging nettle, foxglove, henbane, sneezewart, redcap fungus, yarrow root and deadly nightshade are all at the ready to be cast into the cauldron.  A barn owl and a snowy owl preside wisely over the proceedings from the safety of the trees, whilst the chief witch’s black cat familiar mewls as she watches her mistress hold aloft a fishbone: something the cat feels would be put to better use in her empty belly rather than in the cauldron.

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 31st of October is “spooky fun”.  I thought that a selection of my Playmobil witches was perfect for this fun Halloween theme.

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 tableaux, we have several generations of witches: on the left is the Playmobil witch from the surprise series 15, on the right the Playmobil witch from the surprise series 11, whilst in the middle 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.
