Scenes from The VVitch

[AgeOwns]

I enjoyed the movie The Witch, so I made a playmobil playset for it.
Here are some of the pics

There's the whole set

Bah bah bah bah
There's Mercy taunting Black Philip

And stay tuned for the video!

I don't know the movie, but I wish they'd make klickys in such colors...

(why VV and not W ?  same for playnnobil.. may be a dumb question, but it baffled me )

The movie takes place in the 1600s, so in the marketing they used two Vs to make it VVitch to harken to the very beginning of printed type. Apparently it was just a printers trick, nothing special. They had to pay for each block letter, and a lot of times would just use two Vs if their W was broken or they didn't have one.

I thought it would be funny to replicate that in the playmobil logo with two n's

I debated a long time painting these figures. I like having everything "pure" like I got it, but it really messed with the puritan aesthetic.

Here is the trailer. Scary!!

Ah, yes, clever

Thanks for the explanation!

As to "saving letters", that was common - typewriters had no "1" - the lowercase L is used for it...

Here's the video ad I made!

That was hilarious!!

(And wow, lots of views on youtube! 8700 already!)

Pretty funny, the kids were great and the voice over was just right. Three thumbs up!

Thoroughly excellent work sir. I can't get over how good the set you've made is.

Is Black Philip reading from Martin Luther's Bible?

And: PlayNObil - this is now the official name for all nonofficial sets.

[AgeOwns]

Thanks everyone!

Yes, Black Philip's book is Martin Luther's re-appropriated. Whoops. (I won't spoil it, but in the movie, the book is pretty far from Martin Luther's Bible)

The star of the movie, Anya Taylor-Joy retweeted it! That helped with the numbers. We've just passed 10,000 views!!
